"So, what are you going to do now? I mean, you've had so many different jobs," a friend's husband asked me. He didn't mean any harm, but I couldn't help but feel a bit unnerved by the question. I responded by saying I really didn't know, when actually I do know. I wanted to say," I'm going to be working in my promised land." Then in my mind, I'd drop the mic, boom!
I believe my earthly promised land is a place were God has called me to abide, work, and bear much fruit. The promised land just isn't for me, it's for all of us who trust to believe. When we earnestly and humbly ask God to show us what he wants, we are surrendering our desires to his will for our lives. " If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:7-8) NIV
A little poem for your journey...
Onward and upward you'll cross over hills,
But you're in for a ride with so many thrills.
So put on your seat belt and turn the ignition,
You've accepted your calling, you've been commissioned!
