31 Days {His Time}

It is time for BIG changes.  {Part of my motivation for taking on this challenge.}

Posting for 31 Days. {Day 3, we’re on a roll!  :-D}

Seasonally we are changing. {for us fall is basically over; we’re headed into the crispy winter air.}

We’re headed into our first year of high school home school. {a whole different game. we have to log hours!}

Music: Lessons are set up. There will be 4 sets of lessons (3 official) & 4 practice times happening. Each day!

I’m still trying to get my business off the ground. {It’s not that I haven’t done work – it just keeps being not paid work….I NEED to get this figured out.}

I’m so thankful God has a plan. It is ALL in His control; His time – NOT mine.                 No matter how hard I try, it just doesn’t work.

These are photos from a couple days last week. On my way to a meeting, a week ago today.  After a day when I felt overwhelmed with God’s planning, timing, and provision. A day I felt in awe. A day I experienced the feeling of the absence of fear {I believe for the 1st time in my life}. On top of the overwhelmed feelings.

I was driving to a meeting, by choice, by myself,  I didn’t know who else would be there. I had never been to the area, subdivision, or house I was going to. I didn’t even really know what the meeting was about – other than some kind of missions support group for the missionaries sent from our church. For this hard core introvert {as in extreme, all-the-way-to-the-end, not an ounce of extrovert type of introvert} normally, I would have been sick. Physically ill. Headache. Stomachache. Shaky. It {absence} was the oddest sensation. Honestly, it was. I think the time has come for me to step out and take some risks. Risk doesn’t come easily to me {above mentioned physical symptoms, usually precede any thought of risk; which then changes my mind. Out of fear.}

Then Wednesday happened: Started with Ortho appointment changing some major future plans. But I keep reminding myself, He has a plan. He has a good plan, for my future. For each of our futures. He knows the whole plan. His timing is perfect. I just need to trust.

This was at 6:30AM, a couple days later.  {LOOK at that glowing sky. The sun was trying to peak out. It didn’t make it, but it’s effort sure was BEAUTIFUL!} I was heading into town for a seminar on Google+/Places/Local. Again, by myself, not knowing who all would be there. I did know one sister-friend who was going to join me – but we hadn’t actually talked. Only text’d a ‘YEA’ a couple days prior. No plans for meeting up. No parking together. No walking in together. I did it. Alone. I even walked in on my own, by myself, knowing she wasn’t coming for another 15 minutes or so.

You may really be wondering about my sanity. Really, I’m not insane. These are huge hurdles for me, but it’s because I’ve allowed fear too much of a foothold. This has been a constant prayer for several years – “Please, Lord, give me the strength to….” is not a new prayer for me to ask God for the strength to work through. It must just be the right time. His time.
