An Encouraging Anchor for Your Week

The Real Season Shift

It's Labor Day weekend, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet.

I've been in my feelings lately. And you know, going through the proverbial motions of judging myself against what scripture states.

I read my Bible. I know God's truth. I know His promises. Yet, I seem to be going through a transition of seasons where I'm resisting what the Holy Spirit keeps pressing on me. Uggh

Don't know what it is. But, I do know that He's trying to move me into something else...something more...and because I can't see it, because I don't know what it is...I'm resisting it.

Why do I know this? After my daily time with Jesus, I would go into 'HOORAH' mode and literally feel unstoppable. I would plan my day, from pen to digital, and would feel fearless.

Yet, within two hours that 'emotional' energy would be gone and I literally pinged my girls that I was "grasping at straws."

Seriously? Who the heck am I?

Why would I admit that I'm losing ground when I KNOW I have full access to an ALL POWERFUL GOD AND SAVIOR who promised to always be our strength, the source of our wisdom, our defender, conqueror...and everything else in between?

Because I have control issues. Oh gosh, even writing that made me stop and realize my rebellion.

I pray for deeper faith, yet keep trying to figure it all out. And the result? Frustration. Anxiety. The need to "grasp at straws."

And you know what? I know that I'm stupid for struggling in this cycle. I know that I need to surrender and give the Holy Spirit full access and allow the power of God to bring my spiritual healing to full remission.

So, I'm choosing today to make a daily commitment to humbly let go and let God continue to transform and grow me into a greater inspiration of a person that moves with 'Jesus in me.'

Will you join me?

In Love and Christ,
