Light Bulb Moment

Several years ago, the Lord began to speak to me through a specific passage of Scripture and a particular song. At first I had no idea what He was asking of me or us. So, I prayed and I had other people praying, seeking God for what it was He was calling me/us to!

After months of pressing in, I thought I had a break through, and heard what God was calling us to! We did a lot of praying and background work etc, and were excited at first, but as we tried to move forward, we just didn't really feel a peace or the ability to move in that direction at that time!

My thoughts were either I misunderstood God or the timing wasn't now! So, we continued with life, but it has always still kind of been there hanging over my head! Sometimes I would doubt my ability to hear God's voice because I must've heard wrong! Other times, I'd feel guilty because what if I had heard right, I didn't feel like we were doing anything to prepare ourselves for this calling! But, I always just kept coming back to, God, I don't understand but You do! Show me in your timing!

Well, yesterday, someone was talking about the song that God had been speaking to me through and it was like a light bulb went on! I now believe that what God had spoken to me , I had taken in a physical sense, but He had meant it in a spiritual sense in regards to something that wasn't even a thought in someone's mind yet back then! But, God had called me to pray for His work even then! How awesome is God?!!!

How much less stressed would I have been had I just taken the call to pray and allowed God to reveal the "how" in His timing instead of asking Him to show me "how" and worrying whether or not I was missing it! He's got it under control! He can get my attention when He needs to!
