Bread crumbs with God's Guidance

I struggle with feeling anxious and overwhelmed at times when it comes to making decisions on what opportunities to take and what ones to decline. It’s a good problem to have too many opportunities to choose from. But it’s not so great when you are someone like me who happens to have some form of ongoing and chronic anxiety when it comes to decision making.

So, the other day, I was sorta asking God about what to do. I currently work at 3 different work locations and often find myself wondering if I am spreading myself thin or doing too much.

Yet the opportunities keep coming, and I tend to be driven by compassion. But compassion without capacity like Jim Wilder says, becomes a hot mess. I need God’s guidance, I really do.

So i’ve been pondering lately, wondering. what is God’s guidance here?

Then in the past day or two, I had a thought that came to mind “follow the bread crumb trail”

Ask yourself, “Does this opportunity line up with the bread crumbs God has you on?”

It Brough me peace, joy, and satisfaction when this thought came to mind. Now I just need to find out what those bread crumbs are. I want to ask God where he is leading me.

The first thought that comes to mind is he is leading me into greater movement with the life model. That I should be focusing my growth and professional development into being able to help implement the life model. It is such a purposeful way of life, way of living, way of being the church and I truly believe in it.

So Lord, will you please help me to discern this life Model way moving forward? Is escape a bread crumb opportunity? I am curious what you think, my beautiful Jesus!

“I make ways when you see no ways” “where I lead you, joy shines” 

HELLO FREEDOM

It’s been a wild couple of weeks, friend. Letting go of control is one of the best feelings ever.

We were never meant to hold onto control so tightly, that’s the Lord’s job, not ours.

Over a series of events and new developments in my personal life, it seems that letting go of control and stepping into more freedom has been a common theme.

I was at a gathering about a month ago and the pastor in the room looked at me and said something along the lines of “I see an explosion of love coming like a volcano erupting in your life soon. An explosion of love like never before”

This resonated in my spirit and I believe that to be able to love without limits means I must loose the control in order to create more space for the things of God.

He is using specific people in my life to break of insecurity, to break off preconceived expectations, to break off the trying to change certain things into releasing, letting go of control, and embracing the people placed in my life. My role is not to change anyone buy myself. My role to others is to LOVE them. To encourage them, hug them, affirm them, speak life into them, pray for them, stand up for them, and to see them how God see’s them.

My mind is literally blown.

Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve been missing until you just let go.

What do you need to let go of today, friend? Freedom is waiting for you, it’s calling you by name.

With great love,
