Today.

So recently I have been missing Houston. Of course not the weather (because it feels stinking awesome in Dallas… sorry Houston folks)but definitely the people. When you move to a new city, you feel like everything is just very uncertain. Everything has changed and it is hard to get your bearings. And because everything is in question you start questioning more things (or at least that is what happens to me). Things that you don't need to be questioning because they are so far off, it doesn't. even. matter. I tend to have this urge to just be settled already. Everytime I move I just want to get settled and figure out life ASAP. I want to find all the things we had in Houston up here in Dallas, now. Not in a few months or next year, but now. 

 But these past few weeks, The Lord has been so sweet to me as I get overwhelmed and too often think of what I am going to be doing in a few months or in the next 5 years.  He just keeps reminding me of today. Today is what He has given me and asked of me. When its time for tomorrow, or a month from now, or a year from now,  He will give me that. But He hasn't yet. He has given me today - so today is what I will to focus on. Just day by day walking in obedience to Him and where he has called me. Those are the things I know. I know He has me in Dallas, in this house, at my middle school, at this church. All of these He has made more than clear to me. If in a month from now, or next year He calls me to something else… then great, but that is for a different day. Right now, in the waiting, in the transition, all I can do is just lean in to Him more, trust in His plan, love and serve His people well, and abide in Him today. 

All the rest will fall into place under His guidance. 

"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own". Matthew 6:34
