I will get right to the question today, and save my thoughts for my blog where I will answer the question.
Is there a situation in your life that you feel ill equipped to handle? If yes, would you be willing to surrender this situation to God, and let Him work through you? If no, why not?
I asked this question this week, because I have a situation that I definitely feel ill equipped for... But as I started to feel this way, I realized that God is fully capable of equipping me to do the work He has purposed in my life. Now that is encouraging!
Blessings, Kim

I always tell myself as long as God is in control I'm equipped for anything. :)
You know, it's wild that this questions comes up today. I JUST posted on my blog about a situation that my family came face to face with. We couldn't hide from it. The only thing that we could was battle with the Word of God (which is what he equipped us for).
I have a situation with our almost 7 year old daughter that I keep handing to God...but then I can't just leave it in His hands. I don't know how to just LEAVE it there and not suffer the situation myself. It's been SO LONG (Dec 2008)...I worry what people think of her, what they think of me, if she will be kicked out of school, if she will ever have friends.... It is so hard and all-encompassing right now. :o(
Great question! Yes, I am in a situation now where I feel ill-equipped, but I am choosing to surrender it to God and expecting Him to reveal Himself through it in a mighty way! :)
Details are in my latest blog post...
My husband and I were thrown into a role of leadership and guidence. We are so young and do not have that much life experience and yet God is equiping us through each situation. I have found that instead of equiping you before the headache, he uses the headache to equip you.
First of all, Laurel - since we share a name (and it's even spelled correctly), I will promise to pray for you in this situation with all of my heart...
This was a tough one to write. I shared my heart about just one of the things I'm ill equpped to handle, on my blog. Come for coffee, I'll meet you there ;)

Well, in my quiet morning time with Jesus, I looked at the sun rising and this is what God gave me - a little gift and reminder of His beauty.

I really can relate to this. For several months I've been wrestling about how to go about doing God's Calling on my life - and He's been opening doors left and right. I kinda feel like I've been Jacob wrestling God, finally crying out - Bless me! And wow, it's like a flood. Amazing stuff! And how He's been preparing me for so long to do this is awesome - and leaves me with my jaw hanging. =) What a great God we serve!
