A Message I Needed to hear

I watched a message on DVD today. Here's some of the things I heard from the speaker...

• You see in the midst of uncharted territory, I may be in a season of preparation of something greater to come… whether it’s exciting stuff that’s happening, or it’s tough stuff, I could be in preparation for what’s next.
• Life is basically a series of events that prepare us for the next event.
• What God is taking me through right now may very well be preparing me for what’s next.
• When it comes to perspective in uncharted territory, it’s really about wearing the right glasses.
• God is omniscient. He’s All knowing. He knows everything going on. He knows how I feel. He knows the frustration. In fact, he may know it better than I know it myself.
• There’s two things we’ll often pray.
  The first is, “God do you even care?” and the answer is “more than you know”
  The second is, “God where are you?” and the answer is “RIGHT HERE.”
• He may give a glimpse of His perspective, or I may just have to trust him.
• Two big questions, “What is he preparing me for? Will I seek his perspective?”

The message I shared Sunday, January 25 was one of the tougher messages for me to get ready. It just wasn't clicking for me heading into that Sunday like others had.
Re-listening to myself today was rather surreal. God was using 3-weeks-ago-Derry to preach to hear and now Derry.
