What Have You Laid to Rest For Too Long?

Happy Fall Y'all 

(welcome to our front porch- I love that truck! )

I am not sure
 if many read blogs much any longer,

now with Instagram being the  

"go to" most often.  

(And I do love Instagram)

But I  truly have missed writing and promised myself 

this past weekend that I would write a blog post.  It's a way of jump starting myself

even if no one reads it! 

Keeping promises to yourself is kind of

 important!

 Since moving three years ago, I kind of dropped out of the writing world

because I needed the time to get our new home in order.  

Isn't it something how 

when we forget to be "intentional" 

about picking something back up, how it can easily become lost?

(whatever that something might be in your life) 

Life happens to all of us, 

and includes needed times of stepping back,

 resting, rearranging schedules, grief & losses, 

illness, celebrations, new homes, new babies etc.... etc....

I am so thankful, that God already knows what

 we will go through before it happens.

  He has had our path planned for us, from the beginning.

And it is always paved and ready waiting for us to travel upon again.

That is...once we remember it is

HE who is truly the one in control 

and not us ourselves!

We can sure get in the way sometimes!!

"He begins to unfold His dreams for us 

 and moves those dreams forward 

 as we settle into a rhythm of PRAYER." 

~Mary Beth Marr

 

How often do we go through a journey alone?  

When all along, GOD is wanting to help us through, if only

we will ask HIM.

 "The Lord your God is with you;

 his power gives you victory.

 The Lord will take delight in you, 

and in his love he will give you new life.

 He will sing and be joyful over you."

`Zephaniah 3:17



( one of my journal creations)

I remember when going through Beth Moore's Bible Study, The Quest, a few years ago
 and her saying something like this that I have paraphrased in my own words:

You know, I bet God loves it when we inquire and ask questions of Him 

and search HIS Word for HIS answers.  

I imagine HIM

C H E E R I N G for us 

as He jumps up from HIS royalty seat clapping HIS hands 

and giving high fives to all the angels when we search and find the answers in HIS WORD!  😃

 ♥ I  LOVE  THAT  THOUGHT ♥

So my friend, if you
have laid something away to rest
much longer than you planned, I hope
you will ask God to help you to find COURAGE to pick it up again
and let HIM cheer and sing over you with JOY. ♪ღ♪
