It's been awhile since my feelings have really been hurt. There have been things said and done lately of course that get annoying. But hurt? No. Well, not until Wed. morning. But nothing compared to some of the other things.
Don't you hate it when people try to tell you what God is telling you? Kind of funny how everyone seems to have an opinion. And the truth is that because of none of them are God, none of them really know, right? I'm not saying I've never done it. I'm sure I have. It's just so hard when you know you're doing the right thing and you know you're where God wants you but hardly anyone else sees it the same way.
It's when the people closest to you don't seem to understand. Actually, I can handle them not understanding. I don't understand half of it myself. It's the lack of support and the doubts that hurt the most. They're not saying things like, "Are you sure this is what God wants?" I'm hearing, "This isn't what God wants. You're not doing the right thing. This just isn't right." WHO ASKED YOU??? Yes, I said that cause it's how I feel.
I haven't been asking them their opinion. The only opinion that matters right now is God's. And I know what He's asking of me. I'm not really ok with all of it. We've been arguing about some of it (but really, why argue? He's right.).
Some things really hit home for me last night (ok, really early this morning). And it was hard to swallow all of it. There are definitely some things I need to think about...and maybe some things I need to say to some people. I don't know. But I do know that I'm exactly where God wants me...no matter how hard it's been or how hard it may be in the future, this is what He wants of me right now. That's all I really need to know.
