Some days I like quiet while I'm working, some days its music, and some days I enjoy listening to podcasts. Today, I was trimming brush on the farm casually listening to the Jesus Calling Podcast where Anthony Evans was sharing a bit of his life and experiences. Anthony was on the voice season 2 and has since been leading worship and creating music. He also authored the book, Unexpected Places. I plan to read his book, but he shared a bit of his thoughts in the podcast. Anthony talked about discovering his own identity, gifts, and calling. In Unexpected Places, He talks through "what it is God is asking me to do that is outside my box or my comfort zone".
I am already in my Unexpected Place with Last Arrow. But I was really challenged with this thought of being obedient and patient in the process. Being obedient through the hard, not being fearful of what God is going to ask me to do because on the other side of that, there is something great coming.
For the last few months, Last Arrow Ranch has been in a "waiting" period. I know we are on the verge of something great. God is currently working on some things we are not even aware of.
As I walk this property daily praying over it, for whatever God wants to use it for, I sense some amazing things where people experience healing, grace, hope, and ultimately God's love.
So the big challenge is not being fearful in such a way that could keep me where I am. God is not stationary. He is always moving and its up to me to move with him. Following wherever he leads me and into whatever Unexpected Place he takes me next.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
Anyone want to join me in reading Unexpected Places????
