Feels pretty great to be back in my writing chair!!! It's been so very long since I last blogged...between fighting off whatever virus took up residence in my home...and shoveling snow....I just haven't had the time! Busy is blessing though, isn't it?
I've gotta few things to say today....a few little things to make us think. Have you ever met someone who put you down? What about someone who gave you a hard time because YOU were doing something THEY wish THEY were doing? (well, of course they aren't going to say it like that)....hum...what about someone who just is always on your case? Oh, you have? ME TOO!!!! I've met oodles of people in this world...and out of those oodles I've encountered plenty that I will just flat out NEVER PLEASE. I WAS the personality that takes things like that oh so personally.....I would cower in a corner and wonder whats wrong with me?? Why are they giving me such a hard time??? Not anymore....and I want to tell you why. I'm designed by God for good....God has promised me that He will protect me in His time, and according to His plan.I trust that implicitly. (no, it's not always easy...but I do it...because time after time He has always come though...He has never failed me). God designed me to live a life that isn't comfortable all of the time....Think back to times you've been uncomfortable...I'm not taking about when your skinny jeans were too skinny...I'm taking about emotionally....spiritually....when were you uncomfortable? I'll list a few...when my brother passed...when my mom passed...when I branch out and share my faith...when the "naysayers" aren't quiet about how they feel.....YIKES...I get uncomfortable frequently....but there is so much joy in that! When we are uncomfortable WE ARE GROWING!!! All of those experiences I've listed have grown me spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. I have a story to tell now because of all of the un-comfort! I was DESIGNED to have a story...and not an always perfect one...my story needs to be a bit unsure sometimes....but, if I'm in God's amazing light and following where I feel He leads me I'M OK....I'm more than ok...I'm fantastic and I'm living out the plan God has for me! THAT'S AMAZING. Think about that, the CREATOR of our world has a plan HE designed specifically FOR YOU. GO LIVE IT!
And, once you are up living that plan there will be naysayers....there will be those that give you a hard time...I wish I could tell you it was a perfect path where everyone would high-five you....but, bask in that....Those naysayers are growing you....they want you to stop dead in your tracks and they want you to stop living out that amazing plan that God has for you....it's sad....but, they do. Pray for them....even when it's hard pray for them...in time that prayer will become more genuine...I promise!
Eyes on God...walking in the light...you've got this! Keep going!
