No better place

There is no better place then being in the will of God, i heard some amazing news the other day to do with my application for college, i had put it to the board and they had decided to defer me indefinatly. I wasn't accepted!!! how amazing! You may think that i am being sarcastic but i know that this wasn't Gods timing, that this wasn't Gods will for my life.

I wrote before that Jonah was a man that ran from the will of God, i explained how dangerous this is and how unwise that is, so i am stoked that i didn't get in. I want to be in the will of the father no matter what.

So i understand that my journey at this stage isn't taking me towards college. I however did face a few speedbumps that i won't go into great detail about, but the main message was that in order to get into the training college i have to work in the secular employment. I prayed about it and i know that this isn't Gods will for my life, i am not called to work in secular employment, rather work in full time ministry in the secular world.

This may mean that i won't be in college for a while, but thats alright because i do not want to be a Jonah in the sense that i do not want to put off God's will on my life to get into college, i would consider this to be very unwise.

So i feel that right now i am in God's will, my Christian friends on the board may think im being stupid, but its God's thoughts that matter.

So walk in God's will for your life. I know i may never end up as Salvation Army Officer, but i will however be in full time ministry and God's will for the rest of my life.

Can you say that you are in the will of God? Think hard about that, and what do you need to do to line yourself up with the will of God?

Blessings

It's awesome to see someone looking at what God says in a situation that can seem unfair or whatever. God's timing is perfect.

Good attitude Jake.

It does seem hard when it's not the 'right time' but keep pushing through, when it is the right time it will be amazing!

Bless ya mate
