The past couple of years have been difficult for me as God continues to reveal that it is He who is in control. I was having a difficult time with my work a year or so ago. I write jingles and produce video and television and radio commercials for a living. For the longest time it seemed nothing I could do generated any new business. Things looked bleak. In the process of not having any work, something in me was exposed that needed to be judged. I had an idea that if I were an obedient son I could expect God to meet my expectations for making a living.

Through that difficult time I learned I can only expect that God will allow and orchestrate whatever is necessary to accomplish His purpose -- nothing more or nothing less.

Once the lesson was learned I entered a new experience where I had so much work it was difficult to keep up. Last summer I spent 12 and 14 hour days getting the jobs done. It was the best year I have had since I started in this line of work in 1999. Again, I was reminded that it is He who is control.

Last Spring I received the word "Convergence." I heard, "THE WORLD IS COLLASPING IN ON ITSELF. Just as there are changes taking place in the natural world with a shifting of the earth's gravitaional pull, there is a shifting taking place in the spiritual realm where the spiritual world will take preemince over the physical world."

I did not receive any elaboration on how this would manifest, allthough I began to wonder if what I heard was connected with the economic collapse that began several months later.

I have posted an article at The Inward Journey website. It is titled, "Experiencing The Will of God." In the article I explore the difference between finding the will of God by asking for directives and experiencing His will through the drama of life.
