Running from change.
'Change can be painful-
it can even seem insurmountably difficult.
But nothing is more difficult or painful than
becoming stuck where you don't want to stay.
Be open to what comes next.
Be open to new experiences and
allow yourself to grow.
It's rarely the future that causes your unwillingness
to move forward,
it's the fear of repeating the past.
Happiness comes when you decide to make changes,
and move on from the past.'
I had an unexpected turn on my path this week.
A friendly offer.
Excited by an opportunity, paired with with a massive rush of doubt & insecurities.
Over the phone....she added...
"This is a good growth opportunity for you."
She gets me.
She ,being a friend,...who has also earned her masters in psychology.
I trust her and appreciate her encouragement.
I know she's right.
The idea tugs at my heart.
I'm looking into it.
I'll know more soon.
Journaling....
Accept your circumstances just as they are.
Do not wear yourself out with analyzing and planning.
Let thankfulness and trust guide you.
The best way to get through the day is step-by-step.
Do not hesitate to ask God for help.
What He provides for you is not only ample
but is of the finest quality.
He leads you in the manner best for you.
"It's in those where-can-I-go-but-God
experiences that He gets you all to Himself and you
hear Him more clearly."
"When a God idea overrides your human thinking
& knowledge,
your faith in God releases Him to perform miracles
of all shapes and sizes."
The only thing you can grasp without damaging
your soul, is His hand.
Trust Him, or worry. You have thousands
of correct choices each day.
Don't let fear, doubt, or unbelief steal your life from you.
Throw out scary "what if's".
Keep your focus and faith in God.
Stop doubt at the thought level.
Throw it out.
"God gives you the sight, the right, and the might,
to do great things,
but you have to develop the fight."
Know the truth and don't budge from it.
Believe it. Live it. Refuse to back off.
'Courage doesn't happen without fear, doubt & unbelief.
Courage overcomes all of these and gets the job done.'
If you don't believe God will do what He says He will do,
Who do you believe?
be well...

"Do you remember the cowardly lion in the movie, The Wizard of Oz?
Everyone knew he was a lion, but he didn't have a clue
he was a lion.
He was afraid because he didn't know who he really was."
"The joy of life comes from the ways in which we live together
and the pain of life comes from the many ways we fail
to do that well."
"It is when you're going through the most difficult
chapter of your life that your hero is revealed,
and how beautiful it is when you finally realize
you have the strength to save yourself."
