These are my musings on life. These are the thoughts that God puts in my heart and stirs and matures in my head. These are the things that he whispers when I allow myself to curl up in his presence and soak him in. They are such special whispers, such precious teachings that I cannot keep them to myself anymore. A little bit of Heavenly wisdom on Earth I was telling someone the other day.
Currently my little heart is anxious over a trivial thing.
I have been planning my first overseas holiday for a few months now. Saving and budgeting and not spending so much money at Woolworths; researching places to stay; dreaming of places to see. It turns out the one thing I planned badly was dealing with the beurecrats. I left the visa's a little bit late.
(Silly really. I'm claiming ignorance and vowing to never make the mistake again.)
So here I am, less than a week away from my scheduled departure and still waiting for a visa into Croatia and have only recently discovered that for some unfathomable reason I need a Shengan visa to spend less than 12 hours in Frankfurt and Munich while in transit. That leaves me with 4 days to get 2 visa's, do a 24 hour call, pick up Forex and pack!!! There aren't actually enough office hours in the day!
In my heart though I know this simple truth...Nothing is impossible for God and there is no limit to the level in your life that He can intervene. If I know this in my head, if I know this in my heart, if in my own life and a hundred others there are testimonies of how God has come through for them, why do I still feel so unsettled? Why do I doubt?
The answer came in a quiet breath tonight.
"Lin you doubt because you are human. Because as much a part of you acknowledges Me and My capacity, a part of you is still mortal and recognises the distance that must be covered for you to get from point A to point B. You have to be able to recognise this distance though, else how would recognise that you on your own were not capable. How would you recognise my hand in the situation. You see faith is not the absence of fear or uncertainty, it is the hope despite the presence of the former...else it wouldn't be faith...it would be truth and you wouldn't need Me."
