Moving mountains



HE will silently plan for thee,
Object thou of omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.

He WILL silently plan for thee,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In Him thou shalt surely prevail.

He will SILENTLY plan for thee,
Some wonderful surprise of love.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
But it is kept for thee above.

He will silently PLAN for thee,
His purposes shall unfold;
The tangled skein shall shine at last,
A masterpiece  of skill untold.

He will silently plan FOR THEE,
Happy child of a Fathers care,
As though no other claimed His love,
But thou alone to Him wert dear.

"When you don't move the mountain, I needed you to move,
 when you don't part the waters, I wish I could walk through "

I will trust in Him. say it out loud, go ahead. Its easy to say right? yeah, Not so easy to follow through. As you read a few months ago, I heard the Lord telling me to come to Palomar. Iv'e been here a few weeks now, and I love it! but leading up to this time was not so easy.

During my internship I did not have patience, I asked the Lord almost everyday what I was doing there, and if that was actually His plan for me. I loved it there as well, I was curious why He would place me there for a year and not tell me anything. I wasn't mad or anything, but I just kept asking everyday. Let me tell you a little secret, that's not waiting on the Lord!

I only say that because I thought I was waiting on Him. I thought that asking Him everyday was a good way to hear Him. But that was the problem, I  was doing all the talking, the conversation was one way. Waiting takes awhile, it takes patience, a humble attitude, and a willingness to not have the answers right away. So I finally decided, I put my mind to it. I knew He would give me all the answers in time. I had to stop asking Him, and wait in the silence while He planned for me.
As I said in my last post, it is hard being up here on this mountain by myself. And I can say it over and over again that I know I'm supposed to be here, I know I'm called to camp ministry, and I know He placed me here at this time for a reason. But life doesn't become easy just because you say these things. 

So yes I have a few questions I would love answers to, yes I'm curious to know why He chose me to fill this position, I won't be asking for those answers quite yet. I am content sitting down and enjoying the company I have while it lasts. I am happy to do my job, and have fun while doing it. I am willing to admit Iv'e tried to live my own life, to direct my own path. Now I am willing to trust in the Lord because I know He knows best.  I am willing to sit in silence to wait upon the Lord, to hear His answers. 

Lord I lift up my arms to You to praise Your name. Thank You for placing me here.  Lord I am done asking You why. I realize now that I don't need to know! You clearly placed me here, and that is good enough for me. Help me live each of my day this summer as unto You, to glorify Your name. Thank You Lord, that's all I can say. Thank You. Amen
