The Fog is Clearing


I'm already seeing things more clearly.  It's amazing how things can change so quickly when you make a decision to be obedient to what God is asking you to do.  I realize that not everything is going to seem like positive change.  Some of the things may hurt but it's needed. 

Sometimes things need to happen so that God can move you into the place that He needs you to be so that you can fulfill your purpose and calling.

"Our callings remain a hope until we allow the eyes of our hearts to be enlightened and choose to accept them."  - Beth Moore, Believing God. 

God wants more than for us to just believe IN Him.....He wants us to Believe Him!  Right now that is one of the goals I am working on.  Do I believe IN Him....absolutely....wholeheartedly!  Do I Believe Him?  I would like to think the majority of the time but I really need to work on that.  He has my best interest at heart.  He knows me better than anyone and He created me so what is causing my hesitation?

FEAR

Doesn't it normally come down to fear?  We think we can get the job done better and faster so we step in and take over but in all honesty if we want it done right we should rely on God's direction.

Here is a list I am working on memorizing also from Beth Moore's book Believing God.  Such awesome reminders that we should have on the tip of our tongues whenever we run into issues:

1 - God is who He says He is. 
2-  God can do what He says He can do. 
3-  I am who God says I am.
4-  I can do all things through Christ. 
5-  God's Word is alive and active in me.

First steps.......making some progress.

So Let It Begin...

So let it begin.  Let it be new.  Let me be used for your sake giving glory to Your name. 

Okay Lord, show me what I need to do.  I want You more than anything!  Obedience is better than sacrifice and so I laid down what you asked me to and I am ready to start my journey with You.  Show me what is next and though I know I won't be perfect I will follow You.  I am looking forward to what You will be showing me going forward!  Thank you Lord!
