The Purposed Trek

...some say freedom, some say relief, some say vacation. I am not sure what to say other than obedience is a real good thing. My last day of work is September 1st and I will miss seeing my co-workers 5-days a week however my communication will still continue personally and professionally. I have been given the great opportunity to continue working with them as a consultant from wherever I am living. I enjoy what I do for a living for the most part and have really come to take pride in certain aspects of my job. So when given the opportunity to choose which responsibilities of your job you would like to maintain as a consultant from the location of your choice it is a pretty darn good deal. 5 months ago when I was agreeing with the plan and began to trust God and allow every aspect of my life to be uprooted, I had no idea what was in store or how it all would work. In the midst of fatigue, working 14-16 hour days lately and knowing that I have to work Saturday and potentially Sunday...again, I am forever grateful for the opportunities put before me as a result of direct obedience and trusting the plan of God for my life. This is "The Purposed Trek". I, for the first time in my life, can honestly say that what I am experiencing and walking in right now is a direct result of obedience. I didn't know what lay ahead when everything was changing in my life a few months back, I still don't know what lies ahead when I return from traveling, but what I do know that the only thing that matters is that I am remain open to His plan for my life, no matter how many times the direction "changes" (what I think is change, but God knew all along). My good friend Christy, over the most amazing Cake Love cake, asked me tonight "What is for sure in your life, Marc’?" My answer was "I am flying out to the Dominican on 9/7 returning 9/13, flying out to Florida on 9/17 returning on 9/20, and flying out to Africa/England on 10/13 and returning on 12/30. And the very thing I am most sure of is God’s in control." I kept thinking/asking why is everything a blur beyond December 30th?...and then it hit me, sometimes things in the future become blurry so you can clearly see the path that is immediately before you and walk confidently in it. Bottom line - I am okay with blurring the future plans, so that I can walk in confidence down the path set before me, marked clearly for me to see NOW.
