You are a Work in Progress...do not impede the progress!

Do not impede a work in progress, says the Lord. For I have called you in your time of struggle to stay fixed on me, not to try to squirm out of the trial and get into easier circumstances with more encouraging "environments". There are lessons to be learned in the areas that you are involved in that cannot be learned in another more "comfortable" position. But I have left you in this place in order that you would call upon My name in earnest and watch ME move as only I can do! I have put you in this place in order that you would show yourself approved unto me in the small things and then I will give you greater and greater things. I have set you in motion and I will not stop this work of progress if you do not pull yourself away. It is MY hand that will move you when it is time to move.

It is impossible for you to learn when you continually move into the realm of trying to squirm away from the less exciting and uncomfortable lessons that I would teach you in these times, says the Lord. Submit unto ME and see that even in those days of struggle I move in and pull apart the waves of despair to cause you to be formed in intricate detail just the way I want you to be fashioned. You are a work in progress. Do NOT impede the progress.
