Hey Guys a little late with my post life has been super busy for me! Currently on vacation but like always there's a lesson too be learned. So I am on vacation with my husband visiting some family eating way too much seeing a different type of life. I'm a city girl to my heart I love side walks and corners stores and the fact that things close at 1am instead of 9pm! We're currently south and it's a whole different tempo here I sure many of you can relate if you have been between the two. My post this week is about control we often use control as a way of protecting ourselves from hurt harm or danger. I myself am a very structured person and when things tend to get out of the box I can begin to feel some type of way. My husband is the direct opposite he's the go with the flow type of guy he and it seems to just work out. Weeks building up preparing for this trip I was so stressed about where we were going to stay what's the agenda etc. My husband on the other hand was laxidasiy telling me "don't worry things will work out". I'm in my head like is he serious? All the way up until the day we left I was concerned and a little agitated that I didn't have a plan. We hopped on the road started traveling still no plan that I knew of. So I finally decided the heck with it were out here now! I'm just gonna go with it and let my husband lead. Can I just tell you how that was the best decision I could have made! We arrived at our destination ended up getting a great deal. I ate some of the most delicious food met some of the most amazing people. I know God was teaching me a lesson within my self. (It's important to remain teachable) We often want a blessing but at the same time won't allow it because we're afraid of the unknown. (I'm guilty) We put up the wall of control, feeling more comfortable when the situation is able to be manipulated by self. God can't function in your life when your functioning in self. I personally didn't see my wanting to have a plan as a control issue. Which having a plan isn't but, it's how you react when your plan isnt executed! Can you just throw your hands up and say "Lord if it's your will"? Or are you silently panicking inside ? Once I opened up to allow life too flow I was able to experience another level of peace and gratification I'd never experience. Let Go let God may sound cliche but it's definitely worth a try! I have removed the stress and anxiety of the unfamiliar and understand that sometimes the plan changes. It's for good reason. Loose Control! Be free !
The word Empty is a small word but it holds much power. Too be empty is too not be full ... Empty also can mean to be filled with. Opening my eyes doesn't seem to feel the same anymore, the dread of the unknown almost makes me want to stay asleep. I never thought that I could ever be this low. I never thought the the insecurity and the feeling of never fitting in would creep up on me in my adult life. You see things in life that are meant to bring you down will tap on you discreetly almost subliminally. They continue to hit you in the same spot over and over again, just like a construction worker who needs to break down a wall. The construction worker will target the weakest point to gain access, and begin there demolition focused on that point. So here I am empty, like a car that has run out of gas (which ironically enough recently happened too me lol ugh ). If you have ever ran out of gas you know that the vehicle is at its low point and is unable to function. It has pulled o...
