It's definitely still a struggle, but typing it out has really helped me process it all and while I still have no idea what will happen next, I can rest in the fact that He's got it all under control.

And I definitely agree, being mindful and catching myself in my fearful tendencies helps me A LOT. That, and reading blogs, digging into His Word, and listening to worship music, too. So much wisdom in those sources! :)Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-9879471822699318712013-05-08T06:48:19.037-07:002013-05-08T06:48:19.037-07:00Yes, yes, yes!

I love that the words, "Fear not" is in the Bible 365 times- the Lord knew we would need to remind ourselves every day!!! <br /><br />Are you writing those beautiful words on the paper?

It's so hard for me to do the "DO" part of that, but being reminded of His greatness and His perfect plans for me (and reading it in His Word and in blogs like yours!) is such a comfort for a worrywart like me. :)<br /><br />Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-37325150195601728192013-05-07T19:48:08.564-07:002013-05-07T19:48:08.564-07:00Don't apologize at all!

So please, keep on sharing them with me! <br /><br />Speaking of which, I LOVE your take on that verse (I also love how Bible verses can hold multiple meanings, too!) and I think I'll definitely adopt that interpretation. :) <br /><br />Amen! It is SO much less overwhelming to move in steps, not marathons. Because I can't physically or spiritually run those! <br /><br />And thank you so much for your comments--sometimes I feel like I don't have anything figured out. But I really do; especially since I know that He does have everything under control!<br />Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-81915701598468092002013-05-07T17:58:52.180-07:002013-05-07T17:58:52.180-07:00Kiki -

After about 5 years, my heart was so discontent. Not just with teaching, but because what I was learning through his word. He then took me on this amazing journey. It has been crazy, scary, humbling, challenging, and the best thing I have ever done. It far exceeds what I ever could have imagined. I know you are seeking him...continue to do that and then "DO". Have action to where you feel he is leading in even little areas, sometimes that opens a door. And have others pray...ask 5 people that are close to you to dedicate 1 week to praying for you and see if they hear anything from the Lord :) <br /><br />I know how hard it is to wait for the Lord...but has he told the Israelites, we only have to be silent :) <br /><br />Ashlee<br />http://theredeemedrunner.blogspot.comAshlee Francoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527366843424666986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-42740886199753534872013-05-07T16:26:25.100-07:002013-05-07T16:26:25.100-07:00Amen to what you said, too!

LOOOOOOVE IT!
Psalm...Fear is not worth my time.... LOOOOOOVE IT!<br /><br />Psalm 119:105 comes to mind. (Sorry! I'm one of those annoying people that has a verse for everything. :))<br /><br />Anyways... it says "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." The way I see it is that we aren't supposed to know the full plan. Instead, He gives us just enough light for the next step. Every time we take the next step we see a little farther. <br /><br />We don't have to have the entire path figured out... just the next step. (It's so much less overwhelming when I think of life like this!) And as I take each step as God directs I will find that I end up right where I was supposed to end up. <br /><br />You'll get it all figured out. And chances are it will look nothing like you imagined but in it's own way it will all be so much more amazing than you ever imagined. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347423808769328753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-46977049804189940352013-05-07T16:25:24.545-07:002013-05-07T16:25:24.545-07:00Thank YOU for this comment, friend!

But I realized last night just how much time I was wasting by worrying and thinking that I'm failing by not succeeding in society's terms. <br /><br />Fear is definitely tiring and a waste of time, don't you think? I've realized just how easily I let it consume me and how much bolder I need and want to be right now! Now I just need to act instead of simply type!<br /><br />And those irrational fears? I'm with you on BOTH of them! I'm definitely not a girl made for water or amphibians! :)Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-10743737275508802612013-05-07T15:24:41.167-07:002013-05-07T15:24:41.167-07:00amen!!! praise the Lord that He directs our steps....amen!!! praise the Lord that He directs our steps.

This is such a great post, someth...Preach it, gral! This is such a great post, something I need to be reminded of so much! My irrational fears are things like frogs and being under water...but other other fears? Like you, there's fear of failure. Fear of God allowing something bad to happen to my family. Fear of what He'll ask of me if I truly let it all go for Him. <br /><br />I've been pretty stale lately spiritually (refer to this morning's post) but I'm reaching the point where I'm just...tired of it. At least for this phase of the never ending cycle of "ups and downs" of faith. I want to be different than I am...but I'm fighting my flesh for victory, because my flesh wants to be in control and it's so easy to let my FEAR be my excuse for holding on.<br /><br />Thanks for this!! :)Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285214309808207294noreply@blogger.com
