Speaking of seasons, that may be just what is prompting me now. I've been watching my daughters as they have, one by one, stepped across the 30 year mark with one more to go. What is it about the magic number 30? Each of them has paused and looked at their life and wondered what's next. They have questioned and wrestled with the answers about who they are and what is their purpose. They have become unsettled. While part of me mourns their struggle, I also know that until we become unsettled we fail to look hard at the woman in the mirror.
We're all here for a reason. God doesn't make junk and He doesn't make mistakes. When we get too content and 'settled', we may miss out on what He has in mind. I don't recall anywhere in His word that He says, "sit still and I'll come and find you when you need to be doing something". No, the words I recall are more like "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
Don't stop seeking girls. He has a glorious plan for each of you, but you can't get too comfy in any one place.
