In the Wildness But not Alone

I have to say today was a weird one. The reason why I am writing a second post is on the nature of Spiritual Warfare. Is this journey done alone? Or is it more than that.

Just as Jesus willfully prepared himself for his journey into ministry (as I have been studying with my life group from Bridgeway YAM) on the book of Mark. In Chapter 1, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. After the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus and the Heavens opening up (which to this day blows my mind). It states in verse 12:

"Then the Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals and angels took care of him. " NLT Mark 1:12-14.

Wow. Really? So my God of the Universe decided to place himself in an area of humility and tempation before doing ministry? At what times in my life have I been tempted/distracted before any major decision I've made out of fear? It always seems to me at every point in this journey will I be tempted or tried. I truly my spirit is being attacked for reasons unknown. Right now my life is weighing heavily on the questions I have in my life right now:

1. Am I bound for Malawi?
2. When is the right TIME for me to move?
   
3. Where does God want me to work (career and ministry too)?
   

Big things. But literally today just considering the possibility of doing Malawi I ended up with so much backlash from my family. Not fully in concern for my well being.. but a lack of understanding what my intent is. The timing seems right. I'm not gonna lie. Everything makes sense and my heart is at peace with the decision no matter what the outcome. This is most peace I've had in a while.

Like Jesus I feel like I'm in the wilderness...with the knowledge I'm not alone.
