Moving Forward and Pressing On

I had a better week this week. An opportunity to shine presented itself and I took it. I know that the organization needs me. I need them. I also know that it will be hard for them to pick the right candidate for the job. It is hard to wait and hope that they will see that they need me. I want to believe that they will and that everything will be okay.

I want to move forward with this major project as well. I got energized by the support from the group I joined awhile back. I know that I have to press on, finding support from unexpected places. I can't worry about the troubles around me. I can't worry about the looming crisis ahead of me if something doesn't happen soon. I can't worry about the people around me. I have to press on, leaving everything in God's hands. I got to move forward in his will, not mine. I got to open my eyes to meet the needs and find the resources I need to move forward.

Yes, I do feel that time is pressing. I pray for the Lord's soon coming. I admit that readily. I also pray that I will be ready to meet him face to face. I pray that I can reach the people he has placed in my life with the good news of salvation.

No, I can't stress out that technology seems to be taking over the world. God is in control. He knows his own. He knows when he will come to make all things new. I do look forward anxiously for that day as I pray for strength and courage to face the future. I know that God loves me. I know that he will spare me from his coming wrath. I know that all things are in his hands. I would be the worst of fools to believe that anything happens by chance or sheer luck. God ordains it.

With God's great love and his promises, I can move forward. I can tell others and show them that they don't have to wallow in the slimepit of sin and despair. I will press on with all the strength and courage God gives me. I can't quit. I can't recant. I will stand up.
