I want to walk with God! That’s a powerful statement when you dig deep into it. It means every second of every day. It means giving up our wants for what God has in store for us. It means letting go of our fears and trusting Him!
I’ve been on a journey, and still am. Always will be until I go “home.” Another chapter of my journey is coming to an end. Am I ready to turn the page? Not at all! I don’t have a choice, so therefore trying to fight my desire to stay is just going to tear me down and wear me out. I need to accept the fact that God is moving and bringing me to a new place – a new challenge and experience. A place where He needs me to be, even though I am a “tad” bit resistant, at the same time excited!
Walking with God takes effort. I have been learning so much over the last few months about releasing control, love, peace, joy, and being made in the image of God. So much of this seemed like a repeat of “Sunday School.” I’ve heard it before. However, this is where God was taking me. Stretching me. Shaping me. Restoring me. Leading me. All I could do, all I wanted to do, was follow. Some days it’s easier than others. Stepping out in faith, hope and trust has given me peace and a new understanding of myself, others and most importantly, who God is.
To be honest, I have days where I don’t think much of myself. I wonder what God is up to. I get caught up in a “me” moment rather than focusing on God. It’s part of my walk. He’s working through me. I’m starting to believe the encouragement I’ve been blessed with. It’s easy to hear something, it’s another thing to know it, then believe and accept it. I’m still growing. I always will be, but I am confident that “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.” I’ve been humbled. I’m learning to love again. God’s breaking down walls. He’s always right there, even when I can’t see or hear Him – and often it’s because I am the focus, I am too busy, I am full of pride and I am stubborn, wanting to do things myself and my way!
No matter where. No matter how.
No matter when. I AM YOURS!
