Let me be real

In an attempt to not be fake, let me be real. 

There are few things that give me more anxiety than not having control. A plan. The unknown.<----they all encompass the same principle. 

It sucks. And this move is one of those things I don't have control over. Sure, we chose where we want to live, shop, etc. But our sole livelihood is in Gods hands. Folks, this is real life. And if I'm being total honest, it can become overwhelming. 

But then I have this thing. I like to call it the sweeping chills of the Holy Spirit. I get goosebumps, like big ole pimples all over my skin when the Holy Spirit is moving. What about you? How do you know when he's talking to you? When this happens to me, it's like a feeling of complete certainty. It's an idle grounding of peace that can't be moved. It's a moment of blissful understanding that you're on His path and not your own. I freeze in that second of sureness and remember it's not my will but Yours. I'm not doing this for me but for You. 

And then all is calm. The unknown dives off into the black abyss and I'm left with confident expectation of provision. 

You guys, God is so awesome. He craves your company and stands there with open arms waiting for you to give over your business to him, your health to him, your marriage to him. Your whole life.  Have you been trying to pursue your own desires only to fail time and time again? I know I had. I did. But when you hand over every aspect of your life to Him, it all falls into place. Your life makes sense and your purpose merges with your passion to develop a life that not only meets your own desires but His desires. 

I just wanted you to know that with obedience comes trails. BUT. A huge BUT, you were made in His image with the tools to overcome them. 

Be encouraged tonight with hope that your obedience will bring blessings and your vats will overflow with abundant riches. :)
