In this Holding pattern I am being Amazed at my Father.   Let’s unpack part 3 of Holding Pattern.

There are holding patterns that are full of pain, resentment, bitterness, and etc.  However, this holding pattern I’m  currently in,  is full of renewal, and life change.  I’ve been hearing God’s voice clearer than ever and going through a growing season.  Nightly, I am praying for young lives that would be impacted by Him.  This Holding pattern is calm before the storm of ministry.

Part 3: Draw the Holding Pattern. Once you have the Fix and Course, mentally or physically draw a picture of the holding pattern.

One of the things I’ve started doing (again) is journaling.  On my bookshelf next to my desk I have about 12 journals I’ve done.   Writing what the Lord tells you, writing your prayers, and writing down your studies will bring about growth.  In one of my  journals I was praying for a change in my life and at that time I felt like God was distant.  Reading it now I look and it’s obvious God was there the whole time.    So in this time, this holding time, I am writing down the course He has me on.  I am spiritually drawing a picture of the place God is calling me to.

In this short entry, I challenge you and encourage you if you don’t consistently write in a Journal, start and it will grow you in more ways than you know.
