Well here goes nothing. I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but recently the Lord gave me a small glimpse of what he has next for me. I was reading in Genesis a month or so ago and read the following:
“And Pharaoh said to Jacob, ‘How many are the days of the years of your life?’ And Jacob said to Pharaoh ‘The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years…’ Genesis 47: 8-9a
The word SOJOURN stuck out to me, but I kept on reading. When I finished reading the chapters for that day, I was still thinking I’ve seen that word a lot, I wonder what it means? So I googled it on my phone and I found the following.
Sojourn: to reside temporarily
I read that and thought YES Lord! What a beautiful picture this world is not our home, heaven is! I was sharing that sweet reminder with a dear friend the next day when the Lord said STOP, WAIT a minute! I didn’t mean for that to simply be a reminder for you, I wanted it to guide you. He just brought me this sweet glimpse that He is calling little ole me to Sojourn. To reside temporarily. Wherever he takes me, whenever he takes me. As many know, since March of last year my world has been turned upside down. Praise the Lord for that! I was living all for me, and merely planned my life while letting God be a small part of the side yet had not truly given all over to Him. It’s crazy to look back on it because in my mind I was walking with Him, but He wasn’t going to just let me walk He wanted me to dive in and give up myself so that He could reign. Hallelujah!
All that to say, since last March I would consider my life a big ball of Questions. One night I literally wrote 5 pages in my journal of questions, knowing full well that they well be answered in the fullness of time, yet still I just had to get them out.
This Sojourn glimpse doesn’t give me any specifics except that He has a lot in store. A lot of great things at that. A lot of change, and unknowns, but right now that’s all I desire. Whatever He has I say YES Lord!
