This is a season of “YES”
Yes to God and what He is asking of me.
I spent the first half of my life not knowing God.
I didn’t know what it meant to be a Christian, how to follow, or how to lead.
I wasted time in confusion because I was afraid to ask questions not knowing where it would take me.
I wasted time angry at my Heavenly Father because I didn’t offer time to understand Him.
I heard many times throughout my 36 years “God has a plan for your life”
But no one told me how to access His plan.
I saw a janky off-the-clearance rack plan, like those 70% off broken items missing a vital, functioning piece.
The last 11 years have been God’s plan unfolding and it started with getting partnered at a church.
Then my husband and I publicly declared our faith.
And eventually-9 long years later- I surrendered everything. I was done trying to captain my ship. I sank that sucker more than once and I felt like God was only going to throw me one more life buoy (not true).
But Philippians 1:6 says, “And I am certain that God, who began a good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
Jesus was sent for our salvation, and I will do all I can to show how thankful, grateful, and blessed I am to have it.
So, I say yes to God.
In the uncomfortable
In the fear
In the brokenness
In places I am stretched are the times I grow beyond my own ability.
It isn’t easy and it has taken me to relinquish all my stubbornness to see His hands on our life.
I feel His presence- I wake up with peace and know that God is working as I am walking through my day with Him.
I wanted control because I felt like that is how I would see results and ensure life was on track
What a sham. That’s a lie the enemy wants us to believe.
I say “yes Lord” and don’t ask why, because I don’t need to know, I’ll know later or I have already prayed about it and this is the answer.
