I heard someone last week at quarter-life talking about how the details of their life, aka their job, relationship situation, financial problems, had been put on the back burner by God because He was doing radical things in their heart, which is awesome btw!  I’ve been through that same thing for the last 5 years!  But now those details are being shoved to the forefront of my life and radically awesome things are happening.  I just got hired at a new job that I start Monday, thats actually in the field I wanna work in and it’s a career I can build!  I’ve been dating a pretty amazing woman for a few months and things are going incredible with her.  I’m finally at a point where I have a steady income that’s not just paying my bills but allowing me to save for the future.  All in all things are great!  So what is it that God is trying to show me/teach me in this time?  How am I growing? 

First off let me address those details I was just talking about.  Those are all things I have had to learn an extreme amount of patience for because I have wanted them for a very long time!  I’ve been pursuing God pretty steadily and intensely  for the last 2 1/2 or 3 years now and growing spiritually a ton in knowledge, wisdom, and practial everyday experience of being in the world but not of it.  God has been breaking me of my pride by meeting me in my grief and healing wounds that have been on my heart for a very long time, which I’m still in the middle of and it SUCKS, and all in all shaping me into a man I honestly had doubts I would ever become.  A man whose heart’s desire is to please God.  I want all those details to be honoring to Him.  I want a healthy, fun relationship with Abbey.  I want a good work ethic and the right motivation in my job.  I want to bless people with my finances so some good is done with money as oppose to holding onto it for that new amp I want so bad!!  God has replaced the desire to be satisfied in a relationship with a desire to honor Him in the relationship He has given me and that is such a huge blessing!  It is seriously a bigtime burden off of my heart and I thank Him for that.  So let’s talk!

What is God doing with the details in your life?  What is He showing you?  How is He growing you?  What has been stirring in your heart?
