I’ve been saying “no” to a lot of opportunities lately. A lot of really great opportunities. I have also been hearing “no” or “not yet” on a lot as well. That feels hard, it feels like rejection. It feels stagnant in an ever evolving space.
But God is reminding me, much like I cannot force open the petals of my peonies to bloom, I cannot force open His plans or His timing for me.
‘Bloom where you’re planted’ is a popular mantra and typically, I’m not one to gravitate towards such things, however, this one, I’m digging into. I’m called where I’m called and I’m surrendering my plan for His.
FIGHT
God placed the word “Fight” on heart this past year, and you can read about that here. But it’s important to remember that fighting isn’t always forward movement, sometimes it’s waiting in expectation, sometimes we might even have to go back to move forward.
Don’t fear my friend, you too will bloom when you’re good and ready. Until then, be still in expectation that the Lord is fighting for you. Know the plans that God has for you are good, they are so good.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,”plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
