A couple months ago I wrote a post about the Lord convicting my heart about the fact that I had consulted everything and everyone, except Him, as to whether I should attend a conference. https://kaysigordon.com/you-didnt-ask-me/
I had consulted with ChatGPT, and a few friends, and had come to the conclusion that based on everything I was experiencing in those moments, the conference was not a must attend.
I’ve just left the conference and I’m on my way home, and, I’m so grateful that I was ‘sent’. I say I was sent, because I know without a doubt that this was not my idea.
I’ve attended a few conferences over the last few years and there was something incredibly special about how this one all came together. As I knew this was not my idea, my approach was different. I asked the Lord to show me why He was sending me and, when He had told me I hadn’t asked, I intentionally asked for the provisions to be made, in every regard.
We know that God loves to show out with these requests.
Provisions were made. Above and beyond all that I could have expected or even thought to ask for. The conversations were deep and meaningful, and answering questions that were on my heart, and were confirmed through conversation. I met old friends, and new ones. I learned for me, and my clients.
I know I will need some time to mentally debrief about all that took place, but, I smile, being reminded of another post I wrote about God course correcting us when we are seeking His will. (And, I’m so grateful He doesn’t leave us to figure it out alone, even when we think we can. https://kaysigordon.com/course-correct/
Friends, God sees the beginning from the end. If you sense Him directing you down a certain path, will you take it, trusting that He can do exceedingly more than you can think or ask?
Dear Heavenly Father, it still amazes me that you draw so intimately close to us. That you care about the details. I would have been fine not attending this conference, but you don’t want us to just be fine – you want us to flourish with the gifts you are able to provide. Thank you for your love and care.
