Today 6 years ago. I flew to the UK and was very certain that it would be for a year or two then I would be back home and build a community. Many people and some professionals I shared my vision with were waiting. I ended up staying for more than 2 years because I was sent to a school of music therapy. I thought I shouldn’t waste the opportunity.. so I decided to stay. Then things changed!
Today marks my 6th year since that day. The vision has slowly gone, to be exact I let that go. There was a time when I was in limbo and in confusion I pleaded to God ”Oh, what a waste of time!” I wrote about this here.
I was so focused on meeting the needs of people that I shaped my ministry based on what people need rather than what the Lord says.
Today marks my 6th year since that day. I have left the UK and been in the USA for 7 months, have no car to travel around, and have just enough savings to pay the bills (and it goes down quickly), yet thankful that I witness the Lord sustaining us. Nothing significant happened but starting over in a new country not knowing what God will take us to in the future.
I’ve let go of the vision which turned to obsession. I’m taking this season right now to fix my eyes on God’s heart for people. I’m glad that even my study helps me with this. Despite my changing ministry, I’m thankful for those who continue to pray and support me.
Today marks my 6th year since that day. It have been long years, and it is easy to think that all the years were wasted away. Yet the certain future I have in Christ affirms myself that nothing is wasted. My Lord truly knows what He is doing. I can rest on His sovereignty and faithfulness.
“One day when the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat: Yet not I but through Christ in me.”
Yes, today marks my 6th year since that day. I’m reminded that His plan is way way better than what I thought was the best plan.
Okay, now I’m going to cry.
