I've always
got some new idea brewing in the ol' hopper.
Us dreamer/creator types are funny like that.
Just this morning I was daydreaming about my next venture I've been thinking on. I was feeling like I was ready to pounce on it and move forward. That is, until I opened my Bible to my reading today, and these words caught my eyes.
You did not lack anything, did you?
It is enough.
I hate to be the burster of bubbles, but sometimes God tells us to stay put. That where we are right now is enough. That right here, today, we are exactly in the circle of His Desires for us.
It can be so tempting to jump on the hamster wheel and start spinning our wheels endlessly. The promise of more this or more that can lure us in.
I only want to take opportunities that are mine. I want to faithfully stay when He asks me to stay and likewise, I want to faithfully say yes when He says to move into the new.
This year He has called me to stay put. Until March, I believe He has asked me to refrain from any type of commitments. It has been hard a couple of times, especially when I get excited about some new opportunity, and yet in His Faithfulness He reminds me that being right where He has placed me is enough.
