Jeremiah 1:5-8 (MSG) 5 “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you.Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you:A prophet to the nations—that’s what I had in mind for you.”6 But I said, “Hold it, Master God! Look at me. I don’t know anything. I’m only a boy!”7-8 God told me, “Don’t say, ‘I’m only a boy.’ I’ll tell you where to go and you’ll go there.I’ll tell you what to say and you’ll say it. Don’t be afraid of a soul. I’ll be right there, looking after you.” God’s Decree.

I realize that I am in a season of transition I don't know what my next steps are, I don't know what the outcome of the sharing my heart through this blog are . To be honest for me this is hard for me to handle . I know that this is what I am supposed to be doing but I want to know that things will work out and how they will work out. With all of these question marks floating around in my mind I find myself over-thinking everything and becoming overwhelmed.

But in those moments of self doubt and feeling inadequate God will remind me that He has me in the palm of His hand.

" Relax long enough to know that I am steering your life in the direction that I've mapped out; Where you are is where you need to be in order to flourish and grow. I will put you in the path of those who are equipped to help you but you must be open enough to receive help."

So I must check my pride at the door, trust God and the confirmation that He is present, He cares and He is in control even as I feeling a bit out of control. I don't need know all the details, what I need to do is trust God fully and move forward at His leading and not out of panic. If you are going through something similar take this as your confirmation, breath and know that God has everything under control.

Love,

What Are you Holding to ?

Psalm 18:31-32 (CEB)31 Now really, who is divine except the Lord? And who is a rock but our God?32 Only God! The God who equips me with strength and makes my way perfect,

Sometimes you have to ask yourself a few question to reevaluate where you are. For example, What are some areas of your life that you are holding onto that you haven't fully surrendered to God? (i,e money relationships, money, or bad habits)

A method of determining what those things are is to begin paying attention to some of the things you talk about the most and the things that consume your thoughts. Have you made these things bigger in your life than the power of God to conquer them? These questions can be very sobering especially when you begin to recognize a pattern.

Sometimes we are pick and choose the things we keep and the things we are willing to give over to God based on what is comfortable. The truth is our comfort zone does more harm than good and keeps us stale in our walk with God. Holding onto dead relationships, poor habits will never fulfill your life the way Christ will. There is absolutely no comparison and yet many of us will hold on to these things that keep us broken hoping somehow for a different outcome.

Think honestly, where would we be without God, who is like our God? Sometimes we become so distracted by ourselves that we forget how much of life depends on every word from God! Through our own abilities we cannot maintain air in our lungs or our hearts beating in our chest . So It seems foolish to give ourselves partially to God when you put things into perspective of how our very being depends on Him.

God wants all of you as you are right where you are. You don't have to fix anything or arrive at a certain point in your life or talk to anyone else before talking to Him. There is no time like the present whatever it is , whatever you are holding onto that is blocking you from trusting God fully take those things to Him in prayer, ask for the courage to let go and to reset your focus on Him.

Love,
