"Next Step" has been God's word to hubby and me recently as we are navigating this season of life and planning for the next season. For me, it means working through therapy, which has begun and for hubby, his grade 12 English upgrade.
From new ministry opportunities for both of us at our church to the possibility of bringing home another dog, every time we pray over the next thing that comes up, God keeps saying, "Next Step." For now, He wants us to focus on the here and now and not work on planning for the future.
It has been a struggle, to be honest. I'm a planner, so I'm always thinking about and planning the next thing. Maybe God is using this season to help me be more present in the moment and enjoy this season of our lives. Because, in reality, the things we have and the actions/activities we are involved in are things we once prayed for. I suspect we are all guilty of that mindset from time to time. Pray about something, plan and prepare for it, get it and then instead of enjoying it when it happens and thanking God for it, we start all over again and look for the next thing. Or is that just me?
Thank you, Lord, for this season. Thank you for my new therapist and the progress we are making. Thank you for helping hubby finish the grade 11 English with flying colours. I pray that you will continue to help him through this grade 12 course. I pray that you would bless all who read this post and encourage them as they walk in step with you. Amen.
God Bless
