It has been the hardest thing...I keep asking God, How long? Are we there yet? Is this "my season"? When will I come out of this grave? I get VERY impatient with God, at times, HE called me, HE put this thing deep in my heart, why, why, why..My style of singing kind of a Pattie LeBelle meets Etta James does not go well with alot of churches.. This morning as I was praying he reminded me of the following: HE called me and CHOSE me, HE the God of all creation has approved me...so why worry about what ANYBODY else thinks, when it comes to his plans for my life. HE reminded me... His thoughts are NOT my thoughts, HIS ways are not my ways. BUT, in his gentle way...he also reminded me, that I have hope and a great future with him. Do you see where I'm going with this? If God will do it for me, then he will do it for you...he has no prejudice, you are also HIS child. My prayer is that God will absolutely blow you away with a "new future". Having been on a shelf in the “Potter’s House” for continuing education for the last 7 years.

Do you see where I’m going with this? If God will do it for me, then he will do it for you…he has no prejudice, you are also HIS child. My prayer is that God will absolutely blow you away with a “new future”.

Your musings have an eerie likeness to my own. It's as though just when I was about to enter into a reasonable approximation of the culmination of all of my childhood and adolescent dreams, suddenly they are yanked out from under me as if by the hand of God, Himself. It's as though God is telling me, "No. Not yet. You still have my work to accomplish. If it is comfort you seek, then find it in the accomplishment of My will." This, of course, forces me to continue (sigh) to persevere in the discovery of His good and perfect will for myself. I had hoped I could sort of retire in his will, but it appears God is not the God of retirement.. I knew that. I know that God is the God of action. He's active, and He's still going forward. So let us not grow weary in the work of God, for He is able to sustain us , and He will provide for those who love Him. Carry on, my friend. Go forward with God. Will He not provide? I think we know Him well enough to know the answer to that one... Who was it who said, "God's work, done God's way, never lacks God's provision."? I believe it, for the scriptures bear it out. Bryan:
