Sometimes it is just so hard to do something you know is right over your own wants. Earlier this week Jr and I took some time and talked about what the Lord was speaking to us and then prayed. One of the things we prayed about was the busyness of our life. We asked the Lord to show us what we needed to take out. I mentioned after finishing our support letters we would slow down because we would be between fundraisers.
The next day I found a really fun fundraiser that I want to do so I presented it to Jr and wanted to start on it right away. He mentioned what was said the day before about resting. I just wrestled with this so much because I know I said that but I so badly just wanted to start on it. Even this morning I was still thinking about it and wanting to start it. There are a few things I see through this situation that the Lord is teaching me.
1. following Jr's leadership. submitting to him.
2. psalms 15:4 .. who keeps his oath even when it hurts.
I am choosing to wait to start this because of those 2 reasons up there. It does hurt my wants but my wants aren't always the best.
