A BURNING BUSH

Have you ever just needed to talk to God.....I don't mean through prayer.....talk to Him like Moses talked to Him in the burning bush. To have God see your pain and hurt and to validate your need for His help. To have God give you clear instructions on His plans for your life....just like He gave Moses instructions on bringing the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Moses questioned God in selecting him....how many times have I questioned God's direction in my life....telling God.....oh yes talking back to God....telling Him that I can't do this or that. I am scared. I don't have the talent to perform what He is asking of me. I am too old. I'm not strong enough to do what He is asking. I just can't do this again.....lots of excuses. God and I have some pretty good arguments....well mainly the arguments are one-sided....my side!!!

But through the burning bush God assures Moses that "....I will be with you...." Exodus 3:12

I need to hear God tell me "......I will be with you....". I need to see a burning bush and know it's God.

Through the pain.....the struggles.....tough situations and the trials I have been through....God has NEVER let me down.....NEVER!!! Once again I feel God calling me to step out and follow Him.....trust Him.....believe  the choices I have made up to this point have been blessed by Him. I know that in my head and I feel that in my heart and I love God with all of my being......it's the trusting that God is going to place me where....I have no idea....doing what....I have no idea. Wherever I am directed God will use me for His Kingdom

SO why is it so hard once the first step is made to continue on the path you know that God is walking with you??? Doors are opening.....opportunities are knocking....more than I can answer. How do you know which door is "God's door"?? That's the tough part for me....

SO I wait....I pray....I stay in God's word....I read about the faith of Moses and others that followed Jesus but were afraid.....I check out every opportunity and ask God to shine His light the brightest through the door He needs me to walk through. Whether I think I can go where He shines His light or not.....if God leads me to it....He will see me through it and use me wherever I land!!!

From my corner of the world.....feeling blessed to have the love and support of Ken while I keep my eyes on God walking in His light!
