Godly honesty...
Well, it has been a while since my last post. A lot has happened...is happening. God is teaching me some incredible things right now...hard things, but lessons I need to learn in order to become the woman of God I so long to be! I want to take just a minute to write what I am learning.
Can I just say that I am so thankful for good friends. Good friends who call you out when you're in sin. The kind that tell you the truth when that is exactly what you need to hear...even if it hurts. My friend Jenna called me out on something the other day. I think her exact words went a little something like this. "Megan, I just have to be honest here. I feel very strongly about this. Shut up, quit crying like a little girl and be a Godly woman. You have a job to do, so do it!"
That wasn't exactly the reaction I was looking for but it was exactly what I needed to hear! In that very conversation the Spirit convicted me of sin in my life! Blatant sin that I did not want to deal with, much less get rid of. God was trying to hold me and let me know that He had control. But I wanted control...I really, really wanted control. What if His plan is not what I have planned? What if He wants me to do something I don't want to do? Or what if He tells me to go somewhere I don't want to go? Because of someone's honesty...brutal honesty, I am now trying to walk in faith. The faith that my Daddy is holding me! No matter what His plan is for my life...He is holding me!
