There are different terms to describe it – “flow”… “the zone”… “the right track”… “the sweet spot.” \u00a0It’s that feeling when you know you’re where you’re supposed to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing, at the time \u00a0you’re supposed to be doing it. \u00a0It’s what it feels like when you’re in line with God’s will for your life.<\/p>\n
And when you’re there… there’s nothing like it. \u00a0Things seem to happen naturally, almost effortlessly and you get constant confirmation from the world around you. \u00a0So why do we still fight so hard to figure things out on our own?<\/p>\n
I have been in the process of having a tiny house built for the past 4 months. \u00a0I am now just 2 weeks away from my house being completed and delivered, yet I hadn’t found a place to put it yet. \u00a0It wasn’t that I hadn’t tried… I put up flyers around town, I posted an ad on Craigslist and I asked every single person I knew (and a few that I had just met!). \u00a0And I have had faith the whole time that God would provide a place for me to stay… I’ve had that “in the zone” feeling about the whole process and had seen His hand on everything from the builder I ended up with to the funds I needed along the way. \u00a0Yet, I still thought “I still have to DO something!”<\/p>\n
That’s the funny thing about control freaks like me. \u00a0You can have faith and\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>believe God will provide… but still think you have to “help” Him along the way. \u00a0It’s just that humanness in all of us.<\/p>\n But again, God was actually showing me the “groove” to follow pretty much the whole time. \u00a0I had asked my pastor’s wife to send out an email to her contacts and ask about any available spots. \u00a0Only ONE person responded and I initially dismissed it because it was further out than where I wanted to be. \u00a0But I did hold on to the email “just in case.” \u00a0So as weeks and weeks went by and nothing panned out, I found myself with only 2 weeks to go and still no place to live. \u00a0That is, until I pulled out that old email and followed up on it.<\/p>\n Wouldn’t you know not only is the lot great (and really not that far out after all), but the person who owns it is a great, easygoing person who just happens to know all about tiny houses. \u00a0And it fits in with my budget.<\/p>\n Funny how that happens. \u00a0When you finally hear God (who has most likely been whispering to you for awhile) and follow His will, everything falls into place pretty easily.<\/p>\n Makes you wonder why you were trying so hard to do it yourself in the first place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are different terms to describe it – “flow”… “the zone”… “the right track”… “the sweet spot.” \u00a0It’s that feeling when you know you’re where you’re supposed to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing, at the time \u00a0you’re supposed to be doing it. \u00a0It’s what it feels like when you’re in line with…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":589,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[26,181,173,167,182,33,178,175,141,149,176,179,183,180,185,24,184,177,174],"class_list":["post-72","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-control","tag-decisions","tag-flow","tag-future","tag-goals","tag-god","tag-gods-will","tag-in-the-zone","tag-life","tag-life-lessons","tag-on-the-right-track","tag-peace","tag-plans","tag-quiet","tag-right-track","tag-surrender","tag-sweet-spot","tag-the-sweet-spot","tag-the-zone"],"yoast_head":"\n
