I was reading back in my notes on my phone trying to figure out what to write about and came across a note where I had copied down a reading plan I did a few years ago (one that I may have to revisit because it was a whole word!). Anyway, I read over it and it compared God’s plan for your life to a trapeze artist. How they can only use one bar to go so far before they have to let go and grab above the ground with no escape. Then I read the line:
“Have you ever been there in a career, where you’re leaving one job for another and nothing is in between? You’re 180 feet above the ground with no net below and holding onto nothing. “

This is literally my life right now. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to leave my job and despite there being opportunities available, I have no idea what is next.
This means I currently have no income. It is frustrating because I thought I was on the right track.
I believe I was in the right place and because of that I also believe that maybe it was just time for me to move on. I listened to a podcast that talked about how to know when God has moved his anointing from your current place to the place he wants you next. It said this is how you follow God’s plan for your life, by following your anointing. It also talked about how God won’t force you to leave a place but that doesn’t mean that he won’t go forward without you.
I mean I could very well be exactly where God wants me to be right now. My current season could be a result of God revealing something to me. No one said following God’s plan was for the faint of heart. Especially when you’re called to do something that hasn’t yet been done. There’s no book I can read or process I can Google to help me on my way. I just have to trust that either, God is the ground at the bottom of this open space I’m over or He’s given me wings to fly. Either way, Abba I’m listening…
I read a bit more of the note and came to another line that pretty much knocked me right over the head:
God brings your dream to a point of decision so your faith will build as you swing towards God’s decision for you.

Remember when I said was listening? I believe this was my answer.
I believe that God is asking me
“Will you still trust me even if I dont tell you what you want to know?”
“Will you let go and trust that the second bar is there?”
Will you just trust me?
As someone who likes to know the answer or at least know enough to not feel like I’m scrambling, this is tough. And I kinda feel like this is why God tends to teach me this way. God either shows you the mountaintop or the path to take but never both. So I’m letting go…here goes everything.
