How is your soul today? Meaning: Beyond the external of all you do on a daily basis, how is your heart and mind?
My heart is happy and beyond grateful, because this monthly update is truly an update I have been hoping to share for the longest with all partners and supporters in the mission's work God has called me in. I am blessed to love what I do daily at Crossover Church since 2013.
This month I want to talk about contentment in your season. God has us all somewhere and best believe that sometimes contentment does not come naturally to our human nature. Especially in a culture where there is always the latest and newest upgrade for clothing, entertainment, fashion and technology etc.
However, how can we enjoy God's blessings if we are always hoping and thinking about the "next thing"? We pray to God to bless us and then when He answers and provides do we stand still and celebrate truly and enjoy it? I have learned in 2016 two things: patience and contentment in where you are.
December 2014, I was accepted to serve as a full-time missionary with Christafari their music ministry and two years later due to immigration reasons I haven't stepped into this new ministry assignment yet.
Today, I can announce that as of October 2016, I have been APPROVED to obtain a green card resident status to continue to live in the USA starting 2017. Hallelujah Jesus!
I understand now that God was still preparing, maturing and pruning me for my next assignment. I am no longer trying to rush to get to the "next thing" constantly.
Enjoy the season that you are in and trust and believe that God has you there to serve others and to also grow you spiritually and relationally throughout it all.
Maybe your next thing is graduating, getting married, getting children or getting a new job etc. Please believe that God's timing is always, always, always perfect.
TODAY: Choose Contentment over Circumstances
