Two days ago, I told the other two 7th grade Language Arts teachers that I have accepted a teaching position at Briarcrest for the upcoming school year. I humbly (aka tearfully) opened up and shared how God has graciously allowed the ladies in my Bible study group to demonstrate His love and provision for me. I continued by telling them that I feel the Holy Spirit calling me to give everything up to Him, even something that I hold very near and dear to my heart. I have been extremely open and honest with God about not wanting to let go, asking for His strength to come over me because I cannot do it own my own. I told these supportive friends that I reluctantly made a feeble gesture to give it up to God and that I hope it's an "Abraham/Isaac" type of situation, in which God is just wanting to test me, to ensure that I truly have no other gods before Him in my life. FAST-FORWARD 2 DAYS... (Thursday afternoon - to - Saturday morning) In my morning alone-time with my Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit validated my feelings, further confirming my sensitivity to His voice. This was my prayer challenge for the day: HOPEFULLY, this IS, in fact, just an Abraham/Isaac test to ensure there are no other gods before the one, true God; however, even if it's not, God is using His Spirit that is dwelling within me to allow me to know that He is holding me by His righteous right hand, strengthening me more and more each and everyday. To God, be the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
