I was told in a small, loving voice just recently..... Rest, Step Aside and Let go. I haven't talked about the scenarios (issues) that have been occuring in my life lately... All because I thought to some degree things were mellowing themselves out... NOT !!!!! :) I have learned that after you have done everything you could have possibly done, after you have exhausted just about everything you have (resources, time, etc...) the best thing to do is step aside and let God have it. Now, its time for me to rest. I have tried to make sense of the things that are going on.. But, at this stage in the game, I want my Daddy to take care of it. I don't want to do anything else to cause more issues to arise.
My wonderful sister sent me something so on point this morning. I am sooo glad she is in tune with the Lord's voice. :) I love her and my sister friend for life because of that very thing. The message from what my sister sent to me was to be rest assured in Jesus. Resting is not necessarily stopping. Resting can be done while you are doing. Make the most of your time and rest.
"For all who enter God’s rest will rest from their labors just as God rested after creating the world." (Hebrews 4:10, NLT)
I think I will adhere to what has given to me by one of His children and learn that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. :)

Just a few questions..... Have you ever felt bullied into doing things you didn't want to do? Almost like someone is holding something you've done over your head and they won't let you forget it? Or how about if someone that has been in your life for a number of years often wonders why things in their life haven't changed and they state to you that they don't want to change, or want to be better for themselves....what do you do?
Psalms 139:14
I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are Thy works.....
Rest, Step Aside and Let Go...

Now u already know the deal, right? Sometimes you just gotta keep it pushin' and go on w/ya life. All them folks who bully, will at some point have to swallow the non-sense. And all the folks who judge and think they know, will be required to walk a path pretty similar, so that they truly DO know.
Square business, follow Daddy and L-I-G it (as Big Brother would tell me).They may not wanna change,but you HAVE changed. And that's precious in His Sight and mine.
Mine for yours,mama.
I love this post...I love what you said about resting and steping aside. I understand the need to do that so well. I struggle with it continually, but I keep trying, b/c it's the only way!
I keep forgetting to add you and Ro to my links...I am doing that tonight!
It's so neat to read someone's blog (that I don't know) and feel like I know them, b/c I sense the excitement of what the Lord has done for them. I think that is sooo great!!!
