Where is my strength?

You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.

Psalm 59:17

Over the last month, I’ve seen God move in an amazing way to bring me out of my job at AT&T and place me at Claris Networks.  The last two years have been a trial by fire.  I am glad to be out.  I spent a lot of time grumbling and complaining, and yet He is so faithful.  Even when I am not faithful, He is faithful.

Jana has been teaching that love and fear cannot co-exist.  One drives out the other.  I can walk in love, and He will cast out fear.  When I permit fear in my life, it manifests in control, coping, relational problems, anxiety, worry, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of doom.  When I rest in love, perfect love, I am reminded of the goodness and the kindness of God.  And his goodness just keeps drawing me back into him, and he can sing over me to remind me of who I really am, a well-loved son.  He is going to get me there.  It’s not over.  Whatever I face is no big deal to him.

So thank you God for moving me to Claris.  Thank you for the lessons learned at AT&T.  It’s a great company; it just wasn’t for me.  You showed me so much grace there.  Thank you for providing for my family, like you’ve always done.  I love you Lord.
