Thoughts on Today_Monday, November 13, 2016

The weather has been so perfect. I have noticed the small things. Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. Winter and summer are necessary, but I am in love with spring and fall. Spring shows the new beginnings and the harvests are manifest in the fall. The beauty of each season blesses me in different ways.

moving-forwardEnough with my ramblings. I feel renewed. With the depth of the challenges I have been faced with, I have come to some conclusions. I know that God loves me and is with me. No question or doubt. I know that I have had to make some decisions in order for God to bless me. Waiting patiently (or even with anxiety) is different from being in limbo. My limbo was of my own accord, recognized as such or not.

I have made some decisions and am stepping out in faith. I have been waiting on God to move but He won’t move in a situation where I cannot make up my mind. I have to stay focused on the thing that leads me to walk in His purpose for my life. I have been so much in my own head and trying to make sure that everything is perfect that I forgot about living it out. No, I am not talking about doing what the world does, but more importantly really letting go.

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Yes, I am still waiting on doors to open but I understand what door I am at now. Although things are not manifest yet, I am hopeful, excited and looking forward.

 

Philippians 3:12-15 – “12 It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus]. 13Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. 15Let us, then, who are “perfectly mature” adopt this attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you.”

  1. Strong wisdom spoken here, particularly: “Waiting patiently (or even with anxiety) is different from being in limbo.” I hope God keeps you abiding patiently in Him until He moves decisively!

    1. Thank you. I had been struggling in my writing commitment with all the things that have gone on but I pray God’s strength as I realign myself.

  2. Great post, Sandra. It’s an encouragement to witness how God is working in your life.

    1. Thank you, Barbara. I may have been knocked around but I am still here. I will stay motivated and get back on track with my “consistent” writing.

  3. Motivating post !

    1. Thank you so much. There are times when we have to motivate ourselves and in that motivate others by sharing. I am up early today because action has to follow. I plan to stay motivated.
