“WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR 2020?”
Was the surprising question from my husband today. After thinking about it for a few seconds, I replied, “Get CLOSER to God.” And, of course, I want you here with me, enjoying the sweet life with Him as our Partner and Guide. Are you with me?
For me that will be more conversations with God about everything! In everything I say, everything I do, everywhere I go, ‘God, what would You have me to do here?’ Simply taking life one step and one moment at a time using God’s charm, wisdom, and tact. That includes holding my tongue a whole lot!
With SOOOO many balls in the air right now, I need Him more than ever to help me navigate my way through them all. With His help I can do ALL things! is my attitude. Just spoke to my sister about one of them, and I told her that I’m sure God has everything already worked out for me. I just have to keep showing up as my most excellent, loving, and kind self, listening to Him through my spirit as to which way He would have me to go. I do my best with everything He would have me to do, and I leave the rest with Him. I love this old blog post:
_“And enjoying the sweet life with God is what these posts are about! ‘Because I’m happy’ is the chorus of a song I can’t seem to get out of my mind. So even when so many people and circumstances around me try to steal my joy, I keep my focus on God and what He would have me to do from moment to moment. I’m learning to choose my battles very wisely, becoming a professional ignorer—kindly and respectfully—in lots of cases, and to LIGHTEN UP and enjoy life. _
_My Jesus Calling had the best advice for me one day: “Don’t let the impact of the world shatter your thinking or draw you away from focusing on Me. The ultimate challenge is to keep fixing your eyes on Me, no matter what is going on around you. When I am central in your thinking, you are able to view circumstances from My perspective.” _
Getting here, with my focus always on God, has been the reason why I’m feeling so happy. I’m finally learning to relax and enjoy our adventure together. So even with all the challenges ahead of me right now, I’m trusting God that there’s nothing He and I can’t handle together. I feel completely safe and secure and I’m not worried about the future, or the past, but I’m learning to enjoy all life’s moments.
Dear God, thank You for standing beside us as we journey through the difficult and good times. Amen.
