"Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish." -John 21:5-6
My boat is full. Its overflowing. Capsizing from the amount of fish. And thankfully I can say it is all God's doing. He has supplied and given so much and then some in the blessing department. I have been floating along thinking that I had it all and was doing it all. Then Jesus comes along and says "Hey, lets try it my way just this once and see what happens." WHAM! Blessings beyond compare.
I am so excited to announce that I will officially be moving to New York City in June!! As mentioned in my previous posts, God has been laying this on my heart for a little under a year and half now. I finally surrendered and said "Ok God, do with my life what you will." (If you know me, control is one of the absolute biggest struggles in my life so doing this took A LOT!!!) And God has given me a heart that longs to reach those in NYC. I am so excited about this next chapter in my life.
This whole process has been nothing but blessing after blessing from God. If you ever have doubted the power and supremacy of Christ, let's sit down and have a conversation about this whole process. Many of those close to me have seen me cry and question and wrestle with God over this decision. Yet through the whole process, God has proven Himself more and more faithful (I am so undeserving of this!).
I am so saddened to close this chapter in my life. I am blessed beyond measure with my family, friends, and co-workers. Each and every one of you have shaped me in to who I am today. I look forward to continuing our relationships, just a little bit farther away.
More than anything, I pray as you read this that you realize how much this is God and not me. He has been more than gracious to shower His blessings and grace on me during this time. He has shown me that His will and timing are so much greater than mine. I pray that you would dare to ask God what is next for you. I pray that you would ask Him how you can be used and where you can be used. More than anything, I pray you become closer to Christ. That you are so wrapped up in Him that your life is nothing but a reflection of Him. That your life leads others to Christ, wherever you are!
Listen to Christ and put your net on the other side of the boat!
