Another New Beginning

After some physical, mental and emotional struggles last week, I felt nudged to begin asking God for an overhaul in my inner world.  My mind needs major renewing in order to accept who I really am...and in order to walk out what God has next for me.  

I have spent such a long time pinched in by circumstances I could NOT control, learning how to live life leveraging everything I could get my hands on so to speak.  What I've been doing/thinking has been fine...but I can tell I really need to position myself to think completely different than I have been about me, my future, possibilities, using my gifts and talents, etc.

I wondered what it would look like if I ever got to this point.  I'm not sure yet because I cannot yet feel/see/sense it, but have a very clear idea that I need God to give me vision and purpose for the next season of my life.  I am pretty sure He's given me the "good and faithful servant - well done!" sticker on the season I am nearly done with.

It's exciting.  At the same time I feel pretty worn out.  I am blessed to be able to spend some time soon just pampering myself- away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  I really NEED a break and God has rigged it so I can take one.  I have a hunch He will be nudging me more often.

I have the idea this break will be to rest and re-callibrate...to let Him pour into me a new vision, understanding and perspective of where I am and where I'm headed.  I have some lofty ideas which will need to be wrestled back into their proper places...

I need a time of surrendering again everything I am and have to Him.  I feel like nearly two decades of excruciating labor are over...and I don't really have any idea what's next but I know it's going to be very different in possibly every way (I wasn't going to add "possibly" but then my fingers snuck it in at the request of my tempted-to-limit-myself brain.)

Anyway, I figured I'm not only one who could use some comprehensive good news.  I nearly called this website Compressive Connections rather than Exuberant for Life.  Soo...Dr. Caroline's Leaf good news today really started to water my dry places this morning as I dozed in a later than usual.

I really hope you enjoy this...it's phenomenal on so many levels.  I am honored to be co-heirs with you and her.  Christ's inheritance is ours and I am coming into agreement with everything that means for me.  Period.

Blessings as you walk out wherever you are on your life's journey.
