Following God

I say I follow God

I say I live for an audience of One

I say He is my compass in life.

And why then am I surprised when life has moments that are...

Uncomfortable
Confusing
Lonely
Scary
Skeptical

Following god is everything but logical and safe...

I remember the day when ken and I sold our home in suburbia...it didn’t feel safe...I remember the day when Ken and I walked away from an income that was more than comfortable...it didn’t feel safe...
I remember the day I remembered I was abused...it didn’t feel safe... living my whole life for 29 years at the time completely oblivious to my abuse... my soul was getting turned inside out once again and my layers of self protection were getting exposed....

Following God is really my journey of shedding layers each day...

In each of those situations - God was showing us how His hand is what protects and guides us and it was good - and that is worth more than ever feeling safe...I love trusting in God more than myself - even at the expense of feeling uncomfortable & lonely at times.

I laugh - I say I want a life of no regrets, sharing more than taking, following God not leading God..I could go on..but when I am in those times I feel like a child having a temper tantrum with God - kicking and screaming “why, why, why” to God until I realize my heart is going through what I believe in more than anything -

Following God.

Following God - what more do I need? Anything else is a dead end.

Following God.

Flying in Freedom.

...sending smiles from my heart to yours.

sweetest blessings.
