Changes. Failures. New Beginnings. Pick up and start again. Faithfulness. Steadfastness. Opportunities. Stepping Out. Humility. Compassion. My self aside. Growth. Transparency. Leadership. Love without limits. Going above the call. Sacrifice. Trust.
These are all things that I've been wrestling with lately. If this sounds like the laundry list, just look in the mirror, you're probably wrestling with some of the same things.
It seems that God has led me to a place once again of brokenness. I don't see the outcome, but the Lord knows.
It appears the Lord is closing another chapter for myself and many others. The coffee shop I was working for seems to be on its last straw. No more grinding, tamping and pressing to pull the yummy espresso shots, no more blenders screaming out a new Brevachinno. It just wasn't meant to be. But Lord knows...
If you're human at all, you've probably been through a maze of "why's" time and time again. In all of my questions, I'm starting to say "thanks." Thanks for giving me the wonderful opportunity to work with some incredible people, to meet some fantastic members of our little community and to sharpen my barista skills. Thanks even for letting me mess-up and fail and allowing me to learn from another experience.
Lord knows I needed this and saw fit to bring it in my life, even if it was for only a few brief months.
And, Lord knows where we are all going from here.
Someone recently told me, "Why do we wait for a moment of crisis to call on God? Why do we always want to ask for his hand, but we rairly want to seek his face?" I've been pondering those questions for a few days, and yesterday I even asked my life group girls to be mulling them over as well. I'm thankful for those gentle reminders that I need to seek the face of my Savior and realize that Lord knows where He's leading me.
Lord knows...
