Recently though, God has brought me such peace over a few specific promises from Him. He has been doing a deep work of contentment and trust in my life that I am so grateful for. So much so, that I am at complete peace if the promises never come to pass. Really.
I wish I could say that I have believed this all along. Or that it was an easy revelation without cost. But that would be far from true.
I can say, though, that for the last several months, I have been so deeply thankful for my life. For all of the struggles and hardships (because of what they have produced). For all of the promises left yet to be fulfilled. But mostly for my God who is so big, so strong, so incredible, so completely fulfilling. He really IS good, all of the time. He is enough, period. And having this most recent revelation and believing this truth has brought more freedom and peace than any fulfilled promise could.
He is still in the business of answering promises, however. And guess what? He just answered one of mine.
On Sunday, I am headed to Africa for two and a half weeks--eek!!! I got my ticket a week ago (yes, no typo there, really just a week ago) after God made it VERY clear that it was time. So my waiting has turned into suddenly :) and I only have to wait a couple more days to get my feet on that land.
If you're wondering what I'll be doing there, you may have to wait for the next post. I still do not fully know. I'll be lucky to have time to pack before I leave!! I just know He said to go and I'm going :) My friends are there, waiting for me and ready to show me around. I also get to see a really incredible ministry, The Warehouse, which ministers in the Townships (South African slums).
And although this is sudden, I really have known for years that I would be going...I just didn't know the date and time!
Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land...
Psalm 37:34
