I have been struggling alot lately with fear and doubt. I realize that my faith is lacking for me to allow so much fear and doubt into my life. So, when I read the message about just showing up, i was really encouraged. First of all, just to know I am not alone in my struggle is something I need to hear. I tend to get that feeling of “what is wrong with me?” But knowing others do struggle lets me know there is hope for me. Secondly, I have done my best to just show up, everyday. I try to open my heart to God by praying first thing in the morning and never fully closing that door. Everyday it seems to get a little easier…the more i read the word of God and the more I pray, the more I feel that need to read and pray more! It is amazing to know that no matter how good I feel or look, if I just show up, God will meet me there! So, thank you for that message, it has provided me with great encouragement, when I have been close to giving up.
God has asked me to “show up” 9,000 miles from my home in a third world country populated mostly by Muslims. I’ve moved here with my husband and four children. My oldest is several hours away from our family in boarding school and I’m forced, by our situation, to homeschool the other three. Is this a place I ever imagined myself? Most certainly not! I’m not one of these people who grew up wanting to be a missionary. Is this something that I want to do? No again! I’d rather be in my cozy home back in the states, where I can drive where I want to go, buy my own groceries, see all my children every day, be with my nephews. But that’s not where God has called me to be right now. I’m trusting Him. I don’t want to, but I am. And I’m praying that my heart will follow my body.
Great video. The video itself was well done and mostly the message was well articulated. I just came across your blog and am definitely going to follow.. great stuff here. Often we concentrate on how hard it is to do what God asks of us, and then we forget to ask Him to help us do what he asks. He’s there to support us each step of the way and little by little it’ll be easier for us as if second nature. Again, great posting. thanks!!
We would love for you to know a little more about us. Check out the She Seeks Team page to learn some very interesting facts about those behind the scenes here.
