I’m Uncertain

In: GOD|Leadership

1 Jun 2009

I am so uncertain in life right now, its crazy.

  • We are transitioning out of the most amazing church ever to move to nothing. Uncertainty.
  • We are trying to do something creative where we pray a lot before even choosing the church name and catching enough flack for it that I’ve questioned the whole idea. Uncertainty.
  • My family has to sell our house, buy a house, rent…something. Uncertainty.
  • It is NOT a good time economically to do any of this. Uncertainty.
  • This is the super short list. I won’t whine any longer.

Andy Stanley told me something recently that really helped. He said “When the uncertainty of your job as a leader goes away, you’re no longer needed.”

WOW. Uncertainty is WHY we need leaders.

So I’m certain that I’ll always be uncertain. :)

If you think about it all of the Bible stories about God’s great leaders end with God showing up in a time of uncertainty.

And that is just about all I am certain of. God. I am certain we are doing what He has called us to do. I am certain of the vision. And I am certain that we are totally dependant on God.

What’s keeping you uncertain in your life?

I think praying first and foremost is a GREAT idea and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! :)

Good word! I was just listening to that message yesterday.

Now you’re in a great place for God to show Himself strong!

“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the LORD. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.” Jer.29:1
