I Welcome Your Thoughts...




What does it mean to truly trust God? Is it the absence of all doubt? Is it to be completely void of all fear?

And how does one get to that place????????

"How does one get to that place?". One day at a time. But, the journey grows sweeter every day.

To me, truly trusting Him means: calmness & chaos all at once. Let me explain. Several times when the Holy Ghost speaks to me I have ignored Him. I haven't trusted Him...my way is better...or so I think at that time.

To trust Him means I must become completely vulernable to the unknown; to let go of the reigns and let Him lead me where He wants me to go and do. To know that it won't be easy, I won't have the answers, but I will have the BEST guide ever...if I only heed to Him first.

Once I overcome the chaos of emotions that "letting go" brings (especially when His promptings tell me the opposite of my selfish mind); it is only then can I feel the completely calmness that ONLY He can bring.

That's just my two pennies.

Truly trusting God means surrendering your will to his. It means devouring his word and believing in his promises. Doubt and fear come to us by the enemy of our souls, the devil. The best example of trusting God is found in the Book Of Job. And ask the Lord to give you faith and he will!

For me truly trusting god is just to choose the easiest way to live. It doesn't mean it's bad. I really admire people who can believe whithout knowing. It must be nice.

Trust him because he loves us and nothing can separate us the the love of God.

I trust because He is the only one you can trust. He is the only steadfast one in the universe...
His love never fails, and whenever something goes wrong, life has always taken a different road, which in the end was a blessing..
how could I not trust Him?

Whose Map?

Have you ever noticed that God's path for our journey is not the one we would have chosen for ourselves? I'm not just talking about the "big" things, either (jobs, locations, church affiliations, etc.). I'm talking about the journey : the day-to-day places of our lives. Still confused? Let me illustrate. Several years ago, while on my lunch break from work, I chose a booth away from the lunch crowd. I had been around crowds enough at work. I just needed some quiet for a few minutes. As I was finishing up the last of my fries, the Holy Spirit spoke very clearly to me: See that woman over there? The one carrying her tray away from the front counter? You need to go pray for her. My immediate reaction was: NO WAY! God, You know what a crazy morning it has been at the store. I am not going over there, disturbing some complete stranger's lunch, invading her privacy, only to look like a fool! And why does it matter what anyone in this place thinks of you? You w...

Measuring Up

I have spent my life worshipping idols. GASP! What did I just say? Okay. Take a deep breath. It's not what you think! All my life, I have looked at someone who is: older, wiser, prettier, wittier, more spiritual, more popular...you name it...I have looked at that "someone" and idolized them. Not in that, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" kind of idolatry. It was more like a, "I'll never be able to be as.....(wise, pretty, witty, spiritual, popular)...as he/she is. They are just too (wise, pretty, witty, spiritual, popular). I could never measure up to that!" You know the type, right? That person that never seems to run out of wise advice. The woman who never has a hair out of place, no matter how many children are clinging to her skirts (jeans?). The person who always has a funny line to lighten the mood. The one who seems to be friends with just everybody they meet. The hardest to deal with, though, is the person who always has the ...

The journey began as a child, in my heart desiring to "know Jesus"...it continued as I sought to know Him more, to live for Him...it went along as I followed His call on my life...as I married, and had kids...as we ministered in various ways and places... Today, our journey is leading us to a place I never thought it would take, and the path is a bit scary. (Okay, a LOT scary, at times!) These are just the thoughts of a sojourner. You're welcome to come along.
