Possibilities and Positivity

The Honeymoon is over. 

The thrill of moving and getting settled in a new routine, well I'm over it. I'm over the unscheduled days and my empty wallet. It's easy to be open to possibility and be positive- Initially. But what about over the long haul? 

I am realizing the greater need for my time in the Word and in prayer. It has become an essential part of my sanity. In a time when uncertainty is in every second, the Lord provides peace. There becomes less worry- of which I am known for. In every second, I sit and write and read, a peace essentially laid upon me. I am in my zone. This is a constant practice though, not one that my earthly spirit is akin to and its a second by second battle. 

Today, I read my Joyce Meyer devotional and it focused on our need to carry burdens or to do lots of "work". The verse was from Numbers and God is speaking to Moses about letting Him share the burden:

" I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Power of the Spirit that is on You and out it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that  you will not carry it alone." -Numbers 11:17

God can carry our burdens, but we have to release them to Him. That for me is the very struggle that God is taking me through. So, since my head knowledge became heart knowledge, His truth is taking root. The truth about appreciating the person God made me to be and the grace to make mistakes. 

On the job front, lots of doors opening to possibilities. Please pray for peace in each step and the Will of God to become evident to me. Thank you for sharing in my journey.

Aside:

I might just turn into a blogging queen. Well, maybe not queen, but princess status for sure. During a relaxing weekend in the mountains, my brother and I came up with an idea for another blog about hiking. Now, I, being the writer and a fairly novice outdoorsman  wanted to funnel my brother's extensive hiking knowledge and passion into a service of some kind for other hikers. 

Like I said, I am not the outdoorsman that I would like to be, but my brother and I enjoy exploring the North Georgia Mountains together when we can. When I suggested the blog, he instantly became excited about it. We spent the better part of our Saturday hike on Big Cedar Mountain discussing titles and names, as well as discussing what we would include on it. 

Now, I won't abandon my current blog, but I am excited about my new endeavor with my brother. Stay tuned for information about that. Well, that being said I guess I better get my hiking shoes on!
