"You may not remember what I say, but you will remember how I make you feel." Now that, is influence....... or insanity.
I shake my head many days as I survey my life; at times it feels out of control, but I know there is a season under heaven and a purpose for everything. I can see my present leading into my future, and yet I wonder how the heck it is going to happen without supernatural intervention, lol.
I think of the story of Gideon again, who seemed comfortable with where he was at, but responded appropriately to this call for courage. He had just gathered an army of thousands to fight an enemy, but even that was whittled down to 300. So much for security and support......... seriously.
When taking definitive action in your life, it isn't about the one step. It is about the subsequent steps that need to follow to continue to enact your plan. You may start out with lots of friends, family, and supporters; however, you may find when you move forward, they stay behind..........
There are many things I can say on that subject to make it all better, but in actuality, it sucks. What I focus on is the future, the present, and knowing I will not lose anything, or anyone, without God providing me with something better ahead. It is a road paved by loss..... but growing in love.
I, in the meantime, become the person I am looking for in another.......... who I am, need, and want are becoming more crystal to me, which is a revelation. I have always been made to feel I need to adapt, adjust, and change for another, which some may call trying to please.
When one steps into my life, they feel the acceleration....... so I wonder just who can keep up with me.
Perhaps it is a matter of perfect timing, and possible the right person smile emoticon I may have found a match.......
