In August I heard a spunky Australian speak about human trafficking. Last week I listened to a sermon she gave to a crowd recently on the power of place...and getting momentum back. You can listen to the message here.
In case I haven't mentioned it enough, we are in transition. Still without a place of our own. Still without our stuff as it is in embargo in Africa. Still without jobs (and the steady income that accompanies these). Still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of our lives. But, we know one thing...we are where we are supposed to be.
So, Christine Caine said what I needed to hear.
"Sometimes you have to go where you don't want to be (the wilderness) to end up where he (God) wants you to be...there is always more going on than what you see, more than just the circumstances. Sometimes the best way to get back in momentum is just turning up day after day."
Then she talks about the power of place specifically.
"Many Christians have sacrificed their destiny because they were pursuing a position, rather than embracing the place God has for them...when God is ready, he will come to find you. Are you still in place or have you abdicated your place?...God comes to retrieve us from our place, if we moved we miss that blessing."
Her instructions.
"Get in place if you are not in place. Embrace your place if you are in place."
just Sheri, trying to embrace my place
