God's Favor

 

 

 

I rarely share personal concerns here, on my blog - being open, vulnerable, transparent to anyone other than my very closest circle of friends is anxiety provoking to me. Like the words in this song - everybody, everybody wants to love, everybody, everybody wants to be loved . . . . 

I hope tho, that by giving you a glimps into my thoughts right now, that maybe, just maybe one someone will feel lifted up.  Afterall, isn't this what it's really all about?

lifting up, caring, compassion, loving, supporting, encouraging, hoping

for one another

I'm on a challenging journey right now, and I cannot see beyond this present moment - do you ever find yourself in a place like that? I keep rubbing my eyes hoping to be able to focus more clearly; to better understand what these challenges are about, to know why they return over and over again, and to glean wisdom from lessons learned so that my family and I may move beyond the present moment, beyond the life-changing challenges and so that I may fully focus on my family, my work, and my community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was journaling this morning about actionable steps I can take to help me, if just for today

**

I decided I will

expect God's favor, and let go of all that I know

so that I may receive what I need

Without sharing my life story (which someday I hope I can share with you and that it will be received with grace) I cannot even begin to convey just how difficult this is for me to put into action, but put into action I must, because that still small voice is telling me this, this is the lesson to be learned -

expect God's favor, and let go of all that I know

so that I may receive what I need

Do you expect God's favor?

Can you let go of all that you know?

It's no coincidence this expression, this action, as entered my perview this past week, on more than one occasion. I am learning that I need to wholeheartedly believe that God is in control of my life. However trying life may be I choose to believe that God has a reason for it and He will make everything good. My role is to remain in an attitude of faith, to

expect God's favor, and let go of all that I know

so that I may receive what I need

and to give thanks for everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

warmly,

Oh sweet friend......I have been given so much undeserved grace that I would be a fool not to share His grace with you.
