Equipped

Have you ever felt like you were being worked on?? Not like a routine oil change...which by the way my truck wins the competition for the most frequent visits to the shop...nor even the equivalent to replacing some rotted out siding... but actually being the "project" of priority that God is special ordering parts for. It's been placed on the workbench, added to the drawing board, and meetings have been scheduled to discuss the game plan.

Well I definitely don't know the game plan, but I do know that Matt and I feel like our lives have been placed on the cuttingboard and we are being seasoned for a specific recipe. It's exciting and yet a bit frightening all the same. We feel God has been equipping us, teaching us, giving us these tools and "soon" (which is a relative term when it comes to God's watch) we will become this operational unit for Him, uprooted and moved, and serving in a way that we weren't before.

Anyways, I have chosen the word "Equipped" to describe this "thing" that IS happening to us. Here are a few definitions that I came across:

1. to furnish or provide with whatever is needed for use or for any undertaking

2. to dress; array

3. to furnish with intellectual or emotional resources; prepare

As we try to fully wrap ourselves around whatever God's plan is for us, we are taking the next 40 days to really start digging for His answers. Although we are eager to start scraping the old paint off and begin slapping on a bright fresh coat...(and I do love me some painting)...we have chosen to wait and ask God to prepare our hearts to be equipped for His Glory!

until next time...be blessed.
