Even God Rested

I have to laugh as this last week has been one of the hardest weeks.  It is the second week of me not having to work during the week since Six Flags is only open on the weekends.  I started going stir crazy on MONDAY. The first day of the week.  See I am a doer.  So this summer I had 2 ministries, plus another, plus work, and yeah my life was busy.  Now not only have I not gone back to school, but I don't have a group of friends I hang out with, I am working just on weekends, and my ministries are on a break.  Haha!
Needless...
to say, I'm going a little crazy.

But as I read an artist's status "Jaeson Ma" yesterday that made me realize something.

"You are in a time of transitioning into a new season, and the enemy is bringing a storm of confusion to get you to believe that you are going the wrong direction. You need to stay cool, calm and collected. Be quiet and do nothing apart from My leading, says the Lord. I am releasing a particular anointing to rest and wait for the moving of My Spirit."

Hebrews 4:9-10 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

- Marsha Burns

God rested, haha biggest point!  As I laughed at myself I thought, yes, I get so busy at points I don't rest, I just keep going.  But God wants us to rest in Him.  My purpose is not in doing my ministries, my work, my stuff, but in God's call, in the end if all I have is God am I ok with that?  Haha well as of this week, I've been searching that.  I thought of it and laughed, God thanks for the rest, but I don't need it, I'm ready to go do something.  

But as I've done a lot this summer it is wonderful to have time to reflect and give everything to God, search what He has to say about everything and yet again surrender it to Him.  

I think at this place I am at, the job hunting, the unknown, the financial aspects, the friendships that are not in my life, etc.  I'm
              FREAKING OUT!!!

But here is this part where I am coming to and that is God is my whole life, my forever, today, yesterday and future! 

It's the freedom.  Knowing that my Father in heaven has the plan for me and He knows it.  So I have to trust, rest, and believe and remember He has me, my life, my friends, my family, my adventure, it's ready to go.  I have to be patient, wait, be faithful, and love Him, and He will bless me :) 

So in the meantime I am starting a photography business and writing music as a solo artist.  I'm using this time to enjoy life, and do things for God and trust in Him, but not to drive myself insane.  

God understands me, my personality.  He made me this way.  Haha! It's humorous.  

But I love God and He is testing me, and testing is ...testing! LOL!

I am trusting, I have started attending a young adult group, praying more, figuring out my life, which in the end always turns to returning it to God.  

It's a crazy time because I'm ready for the next adventure, I'm ready to move out of my childhood home, I'm ready to make money, live on my own, move back to the city, I mean is that so much to ask? LOL! But I have to be patient and wait on God and He will be faithful, and He knows exactly where He wants me, and I'm going to stay true to what HE's made me so far and will continue to make me into.
