Walking in His Path, in His Time

I am completely thanking God today that this week is almost over! I have a lot to be thankful for and a whole lot to look forward in the upcoming weeks. The Lord has truly been blessing our socks off and we are just loving living in His will. 

This being said I had a job interview on Monday and Greg applied for a new job on Monday too. Both of these jobs could be game changers for us! So we are just praying and seeking God that His will be done for us. 

Sometimes it can be so easy to try to do everything on our own. I have found myself trying to take my career future or marriage into my own hands and every time I always fall short. It seems as if when we rely on ourselves we don't see the whole picture of what God has in store for us and we set ourselves up for failure and frustration.

FAILURE and FRUSTRATION. These words both make me cringe because I am scared of failing and it is so easy to fall into the trap of frustration in everyday situations. As I was reading Jesus Calling today (an AWESOME devotion book), I was just reminded that i am not perfect. I was born imperfect and although I can strive for perfection, there is only one way that I can every be a part of anything perfect. That is when I am walking with God everyday and leaning on Him for every need. I love how Psalm 18:30 says, "As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him." He does not fail and in Him there is no need for frustration because "He works all things together for good…" (Roman 8:28) I'm so thankful that I serve a God that is perfect and I take refuge in Him and His promises.


When I try to do this thing called life on my own there will always be failure and frustration. This is a simple truth. For instance today I was driving in my car with the windows down because my a/c broke a few weeks ago. I have chosen the "frustration" route so many times in these past weeks because I am so frustrated with not having air and not having money to fix it. Today though a song came on the radio  and I let myself get lost in the presence of God and before you know I was home. It's easy for me to justify not having air because "at least I have a car", but everyday frustrations like driving home in traffic in a hot car after a long day can so easily distract me from the real reason I am on this earth. To glorify God in EVERYTHING I do and to rely on Him for my every need. 

My prayer this week is that I focus on His path and His timing because without God I am nothing. Lord, help me to see You and follow You in all that I do.

Be Blessed and Happy Blogging.
