Leaving #booktitlecraziness

Leaving (to go out of or away from, to go without taking)

It’s not something that we like to think about. I think of my friends who have picked up and left home and now live miles away from any of their closest family: in Haiti, Africa, Guatemala, Indonesia. The list could go on and on and maybe it isn't moving countries maybe it is simply moving to the other end of the province or country… In Canada that’s still along way away. 

Yet what if living in the center of God’s will means you have to leave? 

How does one handle that? 

How does one process the letting go feeling of being out on there on their own? I have this slight feeling of shaking in my booties when I think about it? How would I handle it? :)

These questions, I am not saying I have all the answers for but I know that God’s promises are always true and they never fail. 

Acts 1:7-8 says, And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Wherever you are and wherever God has called you to, if you are in His will no matter what the pain may be of letting go, you can and will be a witness for Jesus Christ! 

That being said those are also Jesus parting words to us and I do believe part of this is comfort to His Disciples who stood by in amazement. Having Jesus go away from them, left them without Him constantly by their sides, yet with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in their lives, Jesus was always beside them. 

So we as Christians today have the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and yes its not always our parents or mentors, but with Christ as our Comforter, Provider, and  Sustainer we don't have to fear He will always be beside us. How amazing is that thought it just makes me glow. 

No matter what the pain there is Joy in the morning.

God Bless,
