Unknown Land

Hey, ya'll.  I just finished working at Promise Academy High School 1 and it was a test of my character and love for God.  It was amazingly hard and I learned so much about the things I need to change in my life.  I want to be right and sometimes I think that I am right(most of the time).  That is my arrogance and one of my downfalls.  I am learning that I don't have to be right all of the time, but it is important to be righteous and to do what is right no matter how I may feel.

The school's policy and how they thought about teachers was all so wrong(in my eyes) and I can't go into how they think because I'm going to get angry all over again and that is not the purpose to of me writing this.  Anyway, I am starting anew, again.  I don't know what's about to happen, but I need to share with you what God showed me as I was flying from New York to Memphis.

I was sitting on a plane and I looked out the window.  As I was looking out the window, it came to me that by faith, I got on the plane and trusted that the pilot (who I have never met) knew where he was going and, of course, in order for him to have the job, he had to be able to fly a plane.  I trusted that he had the credentials to do the job.  I wasn't worried about how I was going to get to the destination.  I was able to look out at the clouds and relax.  God spoke to my heart in this moment.  He said to me that I need to have the same mind set about Him that I have about the pilot.

God is the creator of everything. We and all of creation are His credentials.  He knows the end in the beginning because He has written it all out.  He has already spoken over my life what He wants to do with it.  Since I know these things, I need to live my life in this way and stop being anxious about my future.  I need to learn how to relax and let him be the pilot.  He sees the turbulance ahead and knows how to navigate through the storms.  He knows how to reach the destination I want to go to because He has the directions needed in order for me to get there.

I need to sit on His plane and allow Him to guide me there and stop trying to tell Him which direction I want to go or get nervous and want to take control of the plane.  What is going to happen if I take control of an airplane?  Shoot, I can't fly a plane, so we will crash!  This same thing applies to my life.  I've been learning a lot since I got home.  He wants me to have that peace that transcends all understanding and to truly understand what it means to be still and know that He is God.  I so want this! God is showing me that I have this, but I just need to accept it and stop trying to take control of my plane (my life).

Ps 46:10 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
