There comes a time.......when we have to stop shrinking back from things that appear to big for us, over our heads, or beyond our qualifications. Here is what happens: We experience some success here and there in our lives but we stay where we are comfortable, where we feel we are able. But God does bring us to a point where somehow, that place where we once felt confident, just doesn't feel right anymore. It's time to move forward and go beyond that. Somehow, you know that the place where you are comfortable is no longer able to nourish your life. You gotta keep moving forward putting one foot in front of the other. I'm cautious because I've been burnt bad, but still moving because I know God is leading me. When you have reached a place in your life where you have stopped growing, then it's time to seek God and be ready for Him too move you to a place where you can start growing again.
When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well. I burn out pretty fast. When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better. Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well. When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day. It helps me to not get "caught up" I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up. Noah is home from school, not feeling very well. I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
