Looks like I need a little of the topic du jour: MOMENTUM! The toughest thing right now is that we are here and want to be there. I thought we would be there by now, but we're stuck here until the house sells. Have you ever been there? I mean, have you ever had a grandiose vision, but felt stuck in the mud and totally dependent upon God to pry you loose and send you on your way (and only in His time!)?Just a quick quote from Dave Ramsey...
Momentum Theorem
Focused intensity over time multiplied by God creates unstoppable momentum.

First of all.... I love Dave Ramsey!! Second of all I LOVE DAVE RAMSEY!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I didn't make Nate jealous there... ha ha
I know exactly what that's like. I'm pretty sure Nate and I are in the same mud puddle as you are. Between school and starting a family we have a lot of those muddy situations...But God has really been teaching us about HIM through it all. I'm coming to realize the importance of TIMING...and as much as it pains me to admit it...I'm learning that it's vital to learn to WAIT,(gasp!)on God. We have to make ourselves to sit back and watch sometimes in order to see what God is really doing. I think if we all were able to chase and catch our visions we'd be running like crazy, (and making a mess out of things at the same time).
Kevin, let me just remind you that God has you and your family RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDS YOU. At least for the time being. :) You never know whose life you are impacting right now. You may turn around and BOOM you realize why God is keeping you from being THERE.
Lastly friend I leave you with this:
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
one more thing.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last one i promise!
When you get a chance look at my post from the 10th or 11th. It's pretty long...but it helped me on muddy day.
We're still praying!
