Available....

Once again, I find myself moving this year. This would make it the third time in about 10 months! That's ok though. I think God wants me to be able to adapt to all kinds of different situations, and flexible to wherever He would place me. The best thing about this particular move is that my roomate is coming with me!
Beyond just moving, in the last few years, the LORD has taken me all over the world as far as dreaming about living and doing mission work in those parts of the world. At this point, I'd go anywhere He would call me. And though I may have said that in the past, how much more willing He has made me now! I think God has a specific purpose in putting me in this spot. When we are available and willing, God can more readily use us for His glory and honor.
I also find that the older I get, the more content I am with just being me. I don't need people as much as I used to, or situations, or things to make me happy. God has given me joy and contentment. It's been a long road to get here. That's not to say that I don't struggle with that whole issue; I still do. The fact is that I'm ok with being me and being where God has put me. Why fight what we can't change? The only thing we have control over in our lives is our reactions and our attitudes. Even if we pray, God's will prevails. We may or may not receive what we've asked for, but God is far wiser and He is so good. He leads us as He sees fit.
May our hearts be available for His work, instead of fighting for what we think we need or want! May we fight for His glory in this world by loving those we come in contact with and being content here and now, available for where He would move us! And may we seek His face and honor Him as He transforms us and uses us foar His glory!
