My journey today continues from yesterday.  Everything I was anxious about yesterday is now addressed for the present.  The work with our pastor for this Fall is on target, the man for which I have co-led the step study is meeting with me today, the meeting this morning for the upcoming Fall conference has even more good news developing and–I resigned my position on the Aslan Christian Academy board.

This morning as I was journaling this situation with God I had a lesson come about.  My book had just come off the press the Fall of 2015 when I was told about Aslan.  I was so eager to have my story be worthwhile for God.  I know I was running ahead of His timing now.  I was asked at the time to work with the project putting together the educational plan.  I did that easily as the connections for doing so were already in place for me.  However, Aslan was stuck with leadership issues at the board level and so I was asked to help them with their leadership and join the board.  I knew there was reluctance among the members but I went ahead anyway.  This is the step I took on my own.  The “chasing tail” which was in place at the time is still in place.  I could see this and anything I would do to make it visible for others only insult others.  Stepping away yesterday helped me see that God intends to do His work in this–He didn’t ask me to do this, man did.  I do want to be a good student and learn this lesson well.  My eagerness to help needs firm confirmation from God’s Spirit within before I say YES.

This blog for me has been something I’ve felt God wanted me to do to help others who are on this journey of living a life fully committed to God.  As I began it I hoped others would learn from my personal walk, little did I know how many times I’d have to describe my stumbling efforts staying on the path of the journey.  Nonetheless, the purpose is still the same, I want to honor God with my living for Him and learn from each lesson to be a stronger, more faithful servant.  I pray my mistakes help others to not have to stumble so much.
