Get OUTside of the box!

As I begin to ponder what the Lord would have me write about I become stuck..so they say.  My life has been a whirl wind of this and that.  I am longing to serve to no avail. I am longing to meet others.  I am so blessed to have shelter, food, family and new companionship.  I count it a true blessing to have friends from my past who are still my friends in the present; those special persons who have taken time to invest in my life through this transition.  Praise God!

As my mind develops plan after plan to keep me as busy as a little bee, I am flooded with BE STILL!  Yeah right! If I sit I eat, think, feel and revert to well only last month.  Do not get me wrong! I am so thankful to where my feet are blooming.  I am so excited about our new adventure. This precious journey to meet my Savior in a new profound way.  The total reliance on  HIM!  I am searching the scriptures in a new way.  Praying in a new way.  Loving in a new way.  Working on the issues in a new way.

This study from Beth Moore has me examining my relationships at a grand new level.  Sisters, can you even fathom what our world would be like if we were so secure in Jesus that our back biting, nose flipping, arrogance and plain ole nastiness were non existent. Not even a choice to be had.  Now I mean those hateful traits are targeted at ourselves not the precious friend who has her own issues of insecurity.

 How a precious woman of the Lord could love herself.  Truly accept herself in Jesus' unconditional loving eyes of perfection.  Not comparing every curve of the body, facade of the family, super hero woman of the world as the mark we will never meet.  The continual insecurity of “are they mad at me, did I offend them, why haven’t they called, I am not good enough to ______________.”   Seriously my sweet friend, you are so important and loved by the Savior.  Allow God to release you from those tapes the devil plays to cause strife and conflict in your life.

I can not wait each week to hear Beth teach me more…

Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me. I am perfect in His eyes. The only eyes that matter.  I live for an audience of ONE. 


 It is hard to be outside of the box. I sure can make it comfortable in that box. But friends what are you missing?  When you jump out of that box and discover all HE has for you... Take that leap! I am!
