Following up on my previous post, I’m in my fourth day at the new job, and I’m truly astonished at how well God’s been taking care of me with this dramatic life change. I’ll post more about this later, but I’ve been going through an internal struggle the past few months about my career and my ministry to the Lord and where He intends to take me in my life. I had finally gotten a definitive prophetic word a few weeks ago soon after a major breakthrough in one area — yet just as I was about start carrying through on my commitment, this complete and unforseen change arose out of the blue.

In hindsight, I completely understand why it’s happened, and in fact God actually spoke to me about it ahead of time — that I would go through a time of testing — even though I had assumed He was referring to a completely different sort of testing. Leave it up to our feeble minds to totally miss what God is trying to show us.

Anyway, in short, I’m going through a time of testing, but it’s also a time of provision and great opportunity. And it’s also a time to put my prior visions and dreams on hold and let them germinate longer. That alone is likely why I’m in this temporary state.

One thing’s for sure: commuting to San Francisco by bus is infinitely superior than driving 2+ hours by myself. Whew!
