While I was in California with my sis I was contacted by one of the school districts I’d worked with.  They were wanting additional help for a new administrator they’d hired at their district office.  I spent yesterday with them and will again today.  I didn’t plan well for yesterday’s time.  I got up and had my devotions but didn’t allow time for writing the blog.  The State Dept. of Ed is conducting the work of yesterday and today and I was pulled aside by one of them wondering why I’d pulled out of some work I did for them a couple years ago?  They are redesigning the work and wondered if I had any interest in returning to assist in it.  My guts were screaming, “YES, I love doing this.”  However, I’m learning that God wants me seeking His voice, not that of my old self.  I want to be good at hearing God’s voice and doing the work where He is working.

This morning I couldn’t sleep with much on my mind additional to what I stated above.  As I was journaling and asking God how to know His direction for me, He pointed out that I’m being asked to assist in developing a new route for the work I’d previously done.  Choosing to participate in the work once it’s developed is an entirely different item.  I was amazed to see this clarity of purpose.  My instincts have always been to jump to implementation with anything I ever see or hear about.  I love doing the work.  Well, there is much work needing to be done in developing it too God is saying.  So, I’m going to wait and see what develops and see where God is actually working.  From there I’ll listen for the next step.  The serenity prayer says to take one day at a time, one moment at a time–I said this again in Celebrate Recovery last night.  It is always a good reminder of how God wants us to address life.
