BTW- Today I thought I had "finished" the project that God gave me to do. I thought that I had done what He wanted me to do and that I was "off the hook". Umm.....yeeeeaaaaahhhhh.....NO.
Here's what happened-
I was soooooo RELIEVED because I finally finished and emailed off an explanation of what I thought God asked me to spend the last month on. Essentially it was a visual representation of a draft of a project that maaaaaaaaaaaay be useful in the future. I honestly expect the people who I sent it to to tell me "thanks and this is nice but not feasible now". <-- OH I hope! I HOPE! --> I, selfish I, hope that they tell me that (that it's not feasible or possible or probable or anything-able) because I don't feel equipped to do what God asked me to do!!!!!!!! (Note to self: Remember, I didn't feel like I could do what is done so far, but God did it all for me on my behalf.
*Pause*
...because I want to touch on the fact that - seriously- I think this is a "top secret" thing that most Christians don't tell for fear of being found out, but GOD DOES ALL THE "WORK". Like ALL we have to do is "rest in Him"... we just enjoy the "fellowship" with the Lord and then before you know it- bada bing, bada boom! - the work is effortlessly and beautifully COMPLETE! Being a Christian is the BEST!!!
Aaaaanyway... I digress. What was I saying? Yeah... I just didn't (don't) feel equipped to finish God's big project. Ug! I don't feel ready or prepared or ABLE to do this thing. I thought it was over. I thought my part was done and that I was freeeeeeee!!!!!
Nope.
It's not over.
I hit "send" on that email and then an hour or two later from a completely "out of left field" source, God showed me the next step... He gave me the "model". He freakin' gave me the MODEL!!! WHAAAAAT???
*Carissa is sitting here on the verge of [joy and panic filled] tears and about to pull her hair out!!*
WHAAAAAAT??!!! GOD SPEAKS TO ME? GOD GIVES ME TASKS TO DO? GOD is MY BOSS??? WHAAAAT?!!!
Yes!
YES.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
(ps. God rocks!)

Ummmm- I just realized that I was waaaaaay off base with my comment that "God does the work FOR you"... I think that might only be in SOME things.
I am sitting here waiting for Him to do some other work for me- I need some ideas, God! ... but these gifts don't really happen on "my time" or based on "what I want inspiration on". Just thought I should know.
Hm.
Me again.
Yeah- I was double-wrong.... He DOES do the work for you. I just had to put my eyes on HIM, not on the task at hand. (Heb 12:2)
After I left that last comment I went to the Word and then I put on some praise music and -finally- just dug in to do what I needed to do and then before I knew it, God was carrying me!
