Cover Your Eyes

         "Cover Your Eyes, let God lead and direct." That is probably going to be the theme of this next week while starting my new hours and life for right now. I will say that I got this quote from a guy friend of mine. I need to do that really bad. I just need to trust God with my life right now. He is working on things for me that is why I feel like I am stuck here. I also need to prayer in "circles" around the things that I really need but first I need to firugre that out and my personal mission statement, which I'm taking a Bible study for that on Sunday mornings now. Once I get it together I can really pray that and more.
           "Cover you eyes" is a different way to think about things because you hear people tell you open your eyes to what God is doing for you. Thinking about it, that could get bad because you could have your eyes open and yet see all these ideas or your ways and not believe that what God is doing is better for you as His Child. Think about it and we are less likely to mess up if we close our earthly eyes and let Him lead and direct. He knows us better then we know ourselves.
           God will lay our paths out for us.  You just need that leap of faith and trust. You might have to circle your dream for awhile like 1 and half years to 6 years or even longer but you can't give up because God is directing your steps whenever you don't feel like He is or are alone. For me, teaching preschool or elementary was all I want to do because that is all I ever knew but know it's not. God showed me that the hard way after my last teaching job. God covered my eyes to my teaching career and opened then to the foster system for the children here in AR for now.
           I've always cared for children but God had a different way for me to show that care. I want to circle my prayers to become a foster mom or run my own children's home. I also want my own family in a way but know I can do this job either way. It would just be harder doing it single but then I could tell them about God being their Father and that is all they would have to focus on making happy.  I believe that I can be like "Kisses from Kate" only here in AR and the states if I focus on it.
           Cover my eyes and God will do what He wants and it will be greater then ever. It is strange that I don't have a plan after this job just yet but praying I will and that it would be different then I ever thought it would be. Some of my friends are starting their own businesses, why can't I? I know I'm not alone in this. God is teaching me just to trust Him again and He has put people in my life that has or is starting their dream and/or next journey the journey God wants them on. Things happen for a reason and most of these things for friends were totally unexpected and I'm just waiting for that time in my life again.
               I'm waiting to get back in my comfort zone again so God can pull me out again after I just got comfortable. I'm for sure not a patience person. It is sad when I already want the next change and I don't even know what it is yet but I always had a thought that it will be big. Right now, as I'm thinking for my friends, I've been right for them so that gives me hope that I'm also right for myself.  I'm excited for my friends and the path God has for them ahead of them and I'm also excited to see where God puts me these next few years.
