So often I hear the idea that God is bringing someone into a new season of their life. And I have been one of the people that have used this thought as well. But more recently I think that God has been recycling me through things. He seems to give me similar tests as I have been through before. He places the same things on my heart and we start another journey that we have done before. We have been an official adoptive family for over 17 months now. Zeke man was born May 28th and his GOTCHA day was December 14th of last year. It is amazing that it has been 18 months since we found out about Ezekiel but I do believe that God had him placed for us in January 10th of 2012 when our homestudy was done.
We got a call this week from a adoption grant that we used, asking if we would be willing to share our story this year in their newsletter. So this is something new for us but I know that we are excited to share what God did for us and where he showed up when we needed him the most. So as the end of the year hits I wonder if God will bring us a new season into our lives or if he will recycle old dreams and passions again. Maybe I hope for both. I know that God gives me new visions and passions and I know that God will recycle these old amazing passions and dreams that he placed in our lives before.
What am I saying? Most of the time I have no idea and neither does my wife or son. Is it ok if God does not tell us what is next on the journey? Dennis F. Kinlaw shares in his book: Preaching in the Spirit,
"So Abram went out not knowing where he was going, but knowing with WHOM he was going. For a long time I wanted God to show me his will so I could decide whether I liked it or not. Yet each time God said, 'I'm not interested in what you think about my will as much as I am in what you think of me. I don't want you to walk with my will, I want you to walk with me."
I just want to walk with God. I do not need to know his will, as hard as that is at times.
