Tiny Spaces Call for Big Patience
Greetings to our sisters in Christ!
What an awesome day we have and we rejoice to be able to share some of it with you, witness as we travel and praise our Father for it all.
Today I thought I'd share a bit about van life.
This picture from brother Jim sums it up pretty well.
It requires a lot of patience in the beginning and just as our faith requires it....endurance. We must endure in the patience as we live this life because our space is tiny and there's two of us. It is amazing how quickly we adapted to it, all to the glory of our Father because He did something to our (willing) hearts to mold us for this. He can do that in all aspects of our life if we allow Him, the problem lies where we either don't allow it or forget to turn to Him.
I'm guilty of that. Getting swept up in doing the work of God and forgetting that although I am a worker with brother Jim, my first line of connection is with the Father and nothing should come in between, lest it all be out of order and not His will. That's why His word is so precious and we need to hide it in our hearts because if it's there, the Holy Spirit will bring it to remembrance when we have a time of trial such as this and we will be turned back to the power and strength of He, who gives it to us.
He does hear the prayers of those who belong to Him and if we are patient, endure in our faith and wait upon the Lord, we will get our answer. (No, not always the way we want it but by the time we get the answer, we are ready for whatever it is.) He is a God of power and might and if we all turn our hearts to Him, He will mold them to His will, which will then line everything else up the way it should be.
We learn that every single day in this van life, how to endure, how to kill the flesh, how to keep turning to Him for all things. He uses the situations in your life to help mold you as well, to remind you to keep looking to Him and know that He is always there. Let us worship this loving Father!
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: and Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands and they bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
Nehemiah 8:5-6
Sing joy to the Lord today sisters.
Love and blessings.
