Arriving

I don't know where to start but I will simply begin.
I will simply  place my feet in the water of the unknown
Simply allow my faith, the room to grow
I will start something new
 I will bloom
I am blooming

Simply
It is in the simplicity of life,
that the pearls are hidden
See, I will miss them if I allow myself to get lost in the 'same old same old',
blinded to the treasure deep within my soul.
The treasure was placed by the Great Treasure Bearer.
It is up to me to take hold and then let go.
To use what I have for the glory of the King
and then release it back to Him
He is The source, the Living Spring
He asks me to take my cup and drink
 I obey, simply

I am beholding a different me
A woman who  is confident in the plans of her Redeemer
A woman who knows that she is loved and valued by her Creator
The knowledge of His love crowns me triumphantly
So wherever He takes me, I trust  and believe
that  He forges paths out of frightful seas
He whispers  new mercies and gives me faith to receive
How great Your plans are for me
I  will simply begin.

Just start.



All God wants from us is  simple obedience
Simple trust
A simple
 'yes I will listen to Your voice
yes, I will go where You send me
 yes, I will do what You say'



And then
Listen.
Go.
Do.

Live the life that He has called you to

Reminders

 His plans for us are better than the plans we have for ourselves.
He knows us better than we could ever know ourselves.
He is better.


 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 
Psalm 34:8 NIV

                                                    He sees us


                                                                       He loves us.
                                                                                                    He is good.

                                                                                                                   We can trust Him.


Meditations

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

    I will be exalted among the nations,

    I will be exalted in the earth.”Psalm 46:10

Teach me your way, Lord,

    that I may rely on your faithfulness;

give me an undivided heart,

    that I may fear your name.

I will praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart;

    I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me;

    you have delivered me from the depths,

    from the realm of the dead. Psalm 86:11-13

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,

    for his compassions never fail.

 They are new every morning;

    great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23

You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.” Luke 1:45

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin...

Zechariah 4:10 NLT

Simple Prayer

Father God, help me to be aware of Your voice.
Silence my doubts with Your truth.
Help me to simply obey You.
I confess that it feels comfortable to  stay where I always have been
 in the familiar
but God, increase my faith.
Ascend my perception.
Fix my eyes on You and the reality of Your great love for me.
Your love makes me fearless.
Help me to trust  You with my whole life.
Let the treasures You have placed within me, be released for Your glory.
Thank You, that your grace makes it possible for me to begin again.
Thank You for what You have done.
Thank You for what You are doing.
Thank You for what You are going to do.
Please have Your way in me.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen
