I have been making reference to hiking in the dark and finding a Y in the trail. We found the Y in the dark and are on our way.
1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
We have planted, others will continue to water; but it is God who will bring the increase.
God is moving us on from where we have been planting in the tropics.
A farmer does not sow all his seed in the same spot. A farmer moves along the furrows of his field dropping a little seed as he goes down the row. A farmer plants a crop in one field and then often has other fields that he plants in as well.
God is moving us on to another field. He had us plant in this one for the last six years and now he is moving us on to another place. “The next chapter in our lives” as one so aptly spoke recently. I smile as I write that, it is the very same person that asked us to pray for his “umbrella” because God had sent him a typhoon when he prayed for some rain.
I keep saying that my life is crazy busy. An international move can make your life more busy than you ever dreamed. There is so much to do and plan and pack and so much of it has to be done at the last minute. It is mind numbing to be quite honest, at least for me it is.
I have gotten to the point that I am just riding the waves as they come. They are constantly changing. Some waves are fun like last minute trips to favorite places like the Pearl Farm and then there are those that completely knock you off your raft and flip it upside down. Which is particularly stressful if you are at a point where you can’t touch bottom so it is God that is going to have to come to your rescue and put you back on your raft.
God is faithful and knows our needs so we will trust that he knows what he is doing. He is the one who has allowed the wave to knock us off the raft momentarily.
I must go and pack some boxes now.
I promise to post about our Pearl Farm trip soon but it maybe AFTER our container is packed.
