I had a little meltdown this week. My thoughts started spinning. I needed to make a decision. It’s not a matter of great consequence. Nothing earth-shattering will happen if I say yes–or if I say no. It really wasn’t that big of a deal. It should have been easy, and in the end it was. I just had to have a little freakout minute first. My heart raced and I had trouble concentrating. It felt like a crisis. But it wasn’t.
I let “what-ifs” get the best of me. I briefly lost focus of God’s perfection in life’s details. Just for a moment I failed to consider His perfect direction at just the right time.
Fortunately I have some incredible Jesus-loving friends who will listen, and pray. I messaged one of those friends and was honest with my thoughts. She prayed for me and pointed me to the Father without expressing an opinion on my decision. God answered her prayer by reminding me how He has worked in my life.
Time after time He has worked out a plan and a timetable that are so much better than anything I could have ever imagined. He has never failed to guide and provide in ways that astonish and amaze me.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:9-11 (NIV)
Spot on! Love it! And love your “realness.” You’re a gift to all who know you! xox
