I have found through this year long journey that Jesus not only taught me how to trust Him on a deeper level but that through true obedience comes His power. My life is so simple and uncomplicated now. No more hustle and bustle and running myself ragged. Peace, tranquility and simplicity are how I would describe our life now. God turns off the lights of doubt, the pangs of fear and the shadows of the unknown. When you dwell in His presence and turn to Him completely, He comforts you in a way no other could ever. I truly believe in my heart than when we experience the valleys that the Lord wants to use them in some way for someone else. I am very open and honest about my life and the vast change it has taken in the last 12 months. I love to share my faith and my trust and my love for God through these passages because He has done amazing things for me and He wants to for you too. I have learned that in order for us to fully receive His power we must surrender truly and completely. I call it the "nestea plunge" where you fold your arms and close your eyes and fall back into some one's arms without hesitation or reservation. When you submit yourself to Him and walk away from what you know, you will experience the miraculous ways of Him. I know what it is like to hold on to something, to keep control, to rationalize why we have to do what we are doing. Basically we justify why we give God this much but hold on to the rest. We all have our "thing" that God wants us to let go of. Just be alone with Him and ask Him to reveal what it is He wants from you. And when He speaks it, listen and obey. I hold you in my prayers and know that if you reading this right now, that He is already moving in your life. Let go and trust Him.
Matthew 10:39
