A venture in Faith

Step out in faith.

A statement that holds a lot for a believer. It holds fear, excitement curiosity, anxiety.

I am waiting for the next step of faith that God has for me. There are things that I have been asked about for here in Japan and back in the states and yet through all my prayers and waiting on the Lord, I feel led in neither way.

Now for me a step of faith is confusion. Things that I wanted to do so much have dissipated in my heart. Now I rest on wanting to know what's next. I cannot be hasty in choosing but I cannot be indecisive. I have to wait for God to say so, but he has not said so. Should I be praying about other things? My step of faith is for me and me alone, should I allow my sway to come from man or wait on the Lord to sway me. The answer is clear, man will sway you his way and God will sway you His.

What will the next venture in faith hold? My biggest step is going to be missionary life as a father. My heart feels that maybe God wants to work more there before another big step.
