One Week Left

One week left - little scary, little crazy, little excited, whole bunch of feelings.

Feelings that I realized I have not laid at God's feet lately.  I have been keeping it all inside and to myself.  How can I do this at such a time!? At such a time when I really can let God show off. . .and have His peace about me - I decided to suddenly take over.  Whoops. Big whoops.

I think that God finds our "whoops"es to be okay. He is not a huge fan.  But the moment we say "whoops" is the minute, as His children, remember that we can rely on Him. That is when I think He smiles at me. It is then that the "whoops" becomes an "Ahhhh" of relaxation. Remembering "I" am not in control - but "He is in control". Ahhh...so much better.

Today was a little stressful (*last post if you want details) and as I was just writing my last blog entry - I realized how much I said the word "I" and how little I said God. Today was about me.  Today was about what I could do to make MY life easier when I move to Mexico.  But now I am ashamed at how many times I said the word I/me/my/mine. Ugghhh.  "WHOOPS!"  I ended my last blog entry saying He is in control.  Funny how "my" own words had to remind me what I allowed myself to forget.

He has brought me here.  He has brought me there to this place. I leave in one week.  I leave my American life here.  God is taking me to Mexico in one week.  He is going to make my new home in Mexico.  I have to trust in Him to comfort me and to get me there with everything I NEED.  He is my ultimate provider.  It is time to step back again, be humbled by His love, grace, and mercy to surrender-even the little issues-all to Him.  Lay them at His feet and regain my peace - regain HIS peace again.  "Ahhhhh" = ]

He has been good to me.  He is good to me.

I read in "Fearless" by Max Lucado: "Putting your worries into words disrobes them.  They look silly standing there naked." *I'm smiling right now behind my computer screen.  After writing all of my worries down in a simple blog - now I realize how silly they seem. All my "fears"...gone because of Him as of this very second.


Another fear has fallen victim to trust. = ]
Love you!
