It's time to move: A WORD tip

Well, It has been a while since I have posted a tip.  The family just decided to up and check out about moving from Eastern Kansas to Western Montana, so a great deal of stuff has happened.  The below picture was taken this fall in our new habitation.

I have thought of the insanity of such a move.  We have not felt settled in Kansas and have sought out where we might go.  We even toyed multiple years about selling it all and joining a relief organization and go to Roatan Honduras and I must admit that the taste for that warm salt air, lush environment still resides deep in my heart.

Some questions that we often ask ourselves as Christians is, What does God have for me? Or Where does he want me to go? How many have asked. What does God want me to do?  The answers to those questions seem vague when we look at Matthew 16: 15, "…Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel…"  The message of this passage haunts the very core of my adventurous passion, which really brings me to the question, Are the will of God questions for my life really the correct response to God?

Maybe you have happened upon this blog based upon the title, and if you are not a Christian, ie: have asked Jesus, who died for your sins to be your Lord and Savior, than may I say, that The Bible is true and not just a "Good Book".  No, it is the written expression of the Truth of God's love wrapped up in the person of Jesus.  The will of God is for you to know him intimately. However, if you do know him and struggle with the above questions, than I will say God's will is very clear and found in the Philippians 4: 4 (LEB) Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice.  if you go down to verse 12.  we have to learn to rejoice in the good, the bad, and the downright ugly times of life, and that is sometimes a tough place to be in.

So what about that unsettled feeling? Well, in God's timing He will open the door.  Sometimes waiting on God to move seems to take forever.  But, when He begins to move the surrendered heart, than the floodgates of events begin to line up and all you can do is ride God's wave.

In my own experience of moving from Kansas to Montana,  that is just what happened.  I questioned this thing personally, not really feeling what my wife felt.  But I went up on a scouting mission for two weeks and during that time things began to line up, but not everything.  Even though I now reside here things are not all clear, but this one thing I know, I will keep pressing to surrender my all to God and ride his wave in the raft of thankfulness in order to see His plan for my life realized.
