Letting Go

Letting go can be one of the hardest things you ever do. When life knocks you on your feet and you are in the midst of trials and tribulations, it is so easy to start doubting and worrying. You often find yourself in such a dark deep pit of fear because you have no power or control over what you are dealing with. It’s then that you truly need to turn to God and release those fears knowing that He alone is in control. He alone can alter an outcome. It may not be what we want and we may never understand His Will, but we have to trust and believe the outcome is what’s best for all concerned. One day we will see the big picture and realize that His plan was best. Some days, if we are lucky, we look back and see some of the puzzle pieces of our lives come together and are so thankful that God was in control. When we can recognize those memories, it gives us peace knowing that He truly is in control.

The next time you feel yourself climbing that mountain of doubt and fear, remember to just let go and let God take control. When you do this, and truly let go, you will feel His peace instantly enter your soul. That deep breathe in after you give it to God is so comforting. You are giving Him the power to work on your behalf. All you have to do is believe, sit back and let God work His Miracles.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

~ Proverbs 3: 5-6

Coming Out The Other Side

Life isn’t always easy. God’s Will is not clear to us all the time, and it’s hard to see through those dark clouds that drift in and out of our lives. Yet, when we believe with our hearts that the sun will shine again and that God has a plan, it’s easier to see through the rain and fog. Like a blizzard, our problems can mount up when the wind blows, but when the sun comes out all of our problems melt away. You just have to believe that the sun will come out again; and when it does, things will be brighter than you ever imagined – just like the sun shining on a fresh snow fall.

All we have to do is listen in the silence to God’s soft voice. Keep our minds and hearts open to how He speaks to us. He speaks to each of us how we need to hear Him, and for each of us it can be different. Follow His lead as His Plan is the best for us. Should you make the wrong turn, He will find another way to get you back on the right path so that you do follow His Will for you.

Some people are strong-willed, and while they know in their heart that what they want is not God’s Will, they follow their own path and find themselves stuck or delayed in receiving all the blessings that God has stored up just waiting for them! Don’t be that person. Be the person God created you to be!

“Anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand” ~ Matthew 7:26

Being Bold

The day of my heart attack is the day I cried out to God that I was not ready to die! I had no voice or strength at that moment, so all I could do was yell in my mind over and over again that I was not ready to die! I will never forget the feeling of sensation that I felt come over my body and then watching the numbers and lines on the EKG monitor start to fade away. I screamed so loud in my head until I wasn’t able to any longer. I was ready to put up a fight but didn’t have the strength, so being Bold was my only option.

Ever since that day, God has challenged me in so many ways and I continue to challenge God as well. My recovery took six months, but my transformation lasted two to three years. The self-development I went through during my recovery period and after literally made me the person I am today.

A couple years after my recovery and as a result of my self-development and personal transformation , I found myself going through a divorce. Something I never thought would happen. God had different plans for me and my life I guess, because I realized how I was being held back. I realized that I am enough and my life matters. More importantly, I learned that I can’t change anyone except myself; and that’s where the transformation began.

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” ~ Psalm 138:3

I grew closer to God it seemed every day through my daily devotional time. I began journalling to God daily as well; and I challenged Him to send me signs. Hearts and crosses were something I always looked for or gravitated to. So one day when I was walking in the woods to get away from all the noise in my head, I was looking for some signs from God that I was on the right path when I stumbled upon a heart-shaped rock, or so I thought. I wasn’t sure though if that was a true sign from God because the rock wasn’t clearly in the shape of a heart. So I again challenged God and literally asked Him out loud if that was the best He could do. Immediately, I thought to myself, ‘How dare I ask that of God’. Then, within thirty seconds later, He sent me a Sign that was obviously His amazing work, because only God could have pulled that off! From that day forward, He continually sends me His Best and I’m not afraid to ask for what I want.

I challenge you now to Be Bold! Be confident in expecting God’s abundance and be grateful for everything He has given you. As He continues to bless you, He gives you strength as you draw closer still to Him knowing that He is always with you, for you, and is leading you on His path for His Will to be done through you. Again, I say, Be Bold! Let His Light shine through you and bless others!
