OR
I have been dwelling, okay obsessing, on an idea lately. I have given it much prayer. Much thought. Much mind-time. I can honestly say, now, that I have given it completely to the Lord. And I am at peace with that. I am praying for direction from Him. I can pursue this on my own accord, there is no aspect of sin involved; that is not my concern. My concern is whether or not I pursue this path, is it the Lord's will for my life, right now? Which path will He lead me down?
(I spent about 20 minutes searching for a picture of a path with more than 2 choices of ways to go, couldn't find one, settled for this one. You get the picture. Ha, no pun intended)
ANYWAY... I have already received answers, to some of my petitions to Him. Granted, I wish He'd just send me an email, it would make things sooo much easier. But I see the opportunity for my faith to grow and stretch. I see my dependence on Him growing stronger, and my dependence on me, lessening.
Initially, I was gung-ho with pressing forward, regardless of any one's opinion. Bad idea. As a believer, I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13). I want to do this. But I want to do it with HIS strength. I also know that if I delight myself in the Lord, He will give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). And I have learned through past experiences that He alone knows the innermost desires of my heart.
I am at peace, content, happy with the decision I have made. I know that my prayers are heard (Proverbs 15:29). I know what I want. And I know that my Father in heaven knows that, too. I trust Him. And I also have a good feeling, that He will be opening doors for me, paving my way, directing my every step. And how blessed am I that I don't need to stress anymore, because, yes for a while I was. (Me! Can you believe it? LOL) He's got it under control. Better still, He knows the outcome. Phew, what a load off my mind.

ReplyDeleteI often wish I had a burning bush to talk to. So glad you waited. So glad you found peace about your path. I liked you pictures!
ReplyDeleteJust have to apologize. I didn't mean to be like, "Nah, nah, na-na nah, I have a secret and I'm not telling." And no, I'm not telling. Well 1 person knows. And she's not telling. ARE YOU????
