a team of young people learning what it means to have gifts from God to use for His glory…and how powerful they are when we step back and let Him use them…

on His schedule...

do you ever have those times when you just feel so inspired?
and you sit down to work on things that you've tried to work on a MILLION times before, only ending in frustration...
and for whatever reason this time you sit down and it just all comes together?

yeah...
creative people - you know what i'm talking about.
i have been KILLING myself working on a couple ideas...
i had the beginning shell,
but it just wouldn't come together.
no matter what i tried.

there are definitely times i wish that my creativity worked on my schedule.
however - 
if it did, then it would be mine.
not God's.
and He just knows so much better how to use it all - 
SO...
i am at the mercy of His perfect timing.

but He has yet to fail to come through - 
so what choice do we have?
but to just wait on Him...
:)

tonight, 
i sat down and just tried again.
and things just started making sense.

you know those moments when you see it start to all come together?
its nice, huh?
there are very few feelings like it in the world...
it doesn't get a whole lot better than a really satisfyingly productive, inspired time of creating.

now we'll just see if it all really comes together :)
but so grateful for God being in control!

so if you are feeling stuck,
or uninspired,
or inadequate - 
know that if God has given you the gifts and the idea...
He'll finish it.
He WILL come through.
just wait.
its worth it.


"Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes."
Romans 11: 33-36 (Message)
