40 Months in the Wilderness ...

being taught by Holy Spirit to TRUST IN and RELY ON God and His provision: since January 2014.

TRUST IN "Trust is a feeling that somebody can be relied upon, or will turn out to be good. It is the feeling of being sure about someone, even if it cannot be proved."
RELY ON "Rely is even more powerful a word than 'depend.' When you rely on someone, you have total faith and trust that He will come through. It comes from the Latin word religare which means "to fasten or bind."

This blog post is my testimony on the Wilderness Journey that God determined for me. I had to say yes to His Will & His Way. He walked beside me on this chosen path and taught me through each step and each trial. He allowed me to learn so many things. To encapsulate 3+ years of training, growing closer in my walk, deepening our relationship, and growing in FAITH ... that is a tall order. Instead, I invite you to ask God what He has planned for you. Ask Him to set your feet upon the path that He has designed specifically for you: His Perfect Will for your life.

At the end of this wilderness, I can honestly say material things don't mean much to me. I want people to see Jesus -- not me -- when they are around me. A job now is for God to be glorified and for me to continue to be a servant following my Master & Savior. It is not my identity, as it was for so many years of employment.

This isn't the end ... I look forward to learning even more ... but after 40 months ... I will again have 'permanent employment with benefits!' Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit for everything!

Philippians 4:11-12 (KJV)

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
