I'm through with that, Lord willing. From now on I will focus on who I am becoming, what God is making out of me; no more looking back and feeling sorry for myself.

HALLULUJAH!!! Wannabe. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You are Chosen for a special purpose. You are a child of the Most High God!!!
This week's study on who God is was so powerful. Every aspect taught me and revealed to me something new about the King I love. Today, Phillipeans 4:10-13 hit home as it always does when I read it. "Whatever state I am in, I WILL LEARN to be CONTENT!!!!". Oh how this speaks to me and how every day I am living this more and more.
A quick story - 10 years ago, my father laid down his church where I started leading worship and running the music ministries. It was hard, but it was God. We moved to a HUGE church and although I lead worship in the women's ministry, was not part of the regular Sunday teams. It was SO difficult for me to sit in services, as I imagine it is for any one of us who lead regularly. You just can't be a congregant any more.
Well, after feeling rejected and after my season of sadness for not being used, the Lord spoke to me and said "Be Content! Learn all you can from observing this ministry so you can take what you've learned to the next road I will lead you on."
That is just what I did. I learned to be content where I was. I learned all that I could have learned while sitting and resting on the Father. His plan is so much greater than any that we could dream up. True Satisfaction is in Him and Him alone!!!
