I remember arriving early for my first day of work at my first big girl job that actually paid decently.
I was full of nerves for lack of experience and a little agitated. I knew I was supposed to be working for God on purpose and this was not it.
So often I expect right now results but, we serve a cyclical God of ‘seed, time, harvest.’
I had not yet learned the ‘time’ aspect of God’s design.
In my lack of vision, I couldn’t see this was a place of preparation.
He spent the next seven years pulling away the wrong roots and making ripe the harvest.
He knew the potential I didn’t yet have the means to fulfill.
Out of my fear and angst, this prayer was born right there in my car.
I realized the significance of it and put it on a sticky note for my monitor.
Once the glue wore off I typed, printed, and taped it. When I left for the next job I took it with me. Every time I glanced at it I’d repeat the prayer.
I was able to obtain skills I honestly just should not have been able to. I was hired as an office admin and I quickly turned it into marketing, graphic design, PR, and events.
I’ve known there was an ‘it’ I wasn’t yet living but I had no idea he was preparing me for this all along. I couldn’t see it until it was ready.

Make good the ground you’re in. Let him pluck out the weeds. Watered in prayer, wait for the harvest. It’s surely coming!
