Transitions - Part 2

For the sake of an update, I have given my thirty day notice on my apartment - I will be out by the end of December. During this season in which people are generally getting into the "Holiday Cheer", I find myself kind of pulled away from the throng of noise and hustle and bustle. I am being forced to delve into a deep place in my spirit to find peace and genuine security and identity in the Lord. That is a good place to be. I am going through all my "stuff" - hehe, I just moved here 2 years ago but I seem to be quite a pack rat. I am getting rid of a lot of stuff - both physically and emotionally. I am laying down dreams, expectations, desires, even promises I believe the Lord has spoken to me. I hold it all with open hands. I am not shutting down my heart, I am simply allowing the Lord to sort through what I have. I am not trying to be content with less, I am believing for more - more of what He wants for me - something bigger than me, something with more purpose than I could come up with on my own. I don't feel very brave or very confident in the decisions I am making, but I am making them in obedience and in faith that He is leading me in the way I should go.

Psalms 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

I am taking one step at a time, one day at time. Sitting at Jesus's feet in the early morning hours, not to receive direction necessarily, but to simply draw on His presence and fellowship. I am lost without Him.

Wow, girl, you're so amazing. Sounds like a grand place to be, nevertheless.
