Even though faith is not dependent on feelings, it feels oh so good when our feelings start to work for us, as a result of our meditation on the Word, rather than undermine and sabotage our efforts.
Last week was a challenging one, but it ended well...and the ripple overflow is still reverberating out all across today!Back On Track
It was as if I could feel myself coming back into view, a vision carried on the wind, and played across my heart. I could touch and taste what once was before I took a long, dark detour when I stepped away from trusting God completely.
Don't ever do that.
But here's what it led to:
Decisions
Actions
And those two things are wonderful power surges in the psyche of us simple little beings.
I decided on specific tasks I have fumbled over and danced around for weeks/months even, having the words in my mind constantly saying, 'you need to just DO something!' Take action. So, I pulled out my Action Plan for my new business, soon to open for trading. And also looked at the forecast I had set for July...and just decided to go ahead to work on those goals!
Ha! Go figure.
What's the worst that can happen? Nothing!
And if nothing is the worst, then, what really is there to lose-so why deliberate and procrastinate over details and issues that are not even relevant?
I can always modify it along the way as I work-and it's so much easier to turn a moving vehicle.
So, I decided I would work on the e-book that needs to be ready for July 11, and book a venue to host and facilitate a workshop on 3 Simple Steps to Kickstart Your Creativity-with a leaning toward making a personal book!
From there, arising out of a simple conversation with a good friend- a JOINT workshop, collaborating together in August!! That was a very exciting development.
After that, I truly felt like Superwoman! All lit up with fervour and zeal to really get moving! Whatever I've come through these past several days...it has lifted. I'm not saying I won't likely face troubled moments ahead, but rejoicing coz God hears and answers prayers, is a great method to konk fear, failure, shame, doubts, lack of confidence...and any other sly dog or little fox.
The very next thing I did, was go to the Salvoes and buy some pre-loved gym gear and went next door to Salvoes to speak to someone about joining that gym! Going back tomorrow-hopefully to DO my first session!
Time To Take Action-Just DO it!
This is the point: I was led to a place of faith where I could just decide to DO something! I didn't see or hear anything different about situations or circumstances, but The WORD in me was coming alive and clothing itself and Praise & Worship & Rejoicing just sealed the deal.
This is the Lord's salvation being worked out in, and through, us. We all face challenges and struggles. When we turn to the Lord with our whole heart, He is able to intervene on our behalf, orchestrate our ways, constrain our choices and open up the way for us!
Then, we have HIS assurance on the inside of us! Best resting!
That's it for now...
