Wonderfully Directed

Isn't God's direction wonderful?

Isn't it wonderful to be directed by the one who holds the map?

I get the funnies looks from some of my family and friend when I mention that I have a blog of my own. To be honest most the time I have to explain what a blog even is. Oh yeah, that's how it is around. Up until about a year ago I was the person being dragged in the modern world, specifically technology. Also by nature I'm somewhat of a shy person, as least when it came to sharing my true feelings and thoughts. I had out grown be so shy that I could hardly speak but I really wasn't willing to share myself; unless you were very close to me.

What happened with me was that I was really quite lonely....

I was lonely but at the same time, almost consumed by my children, my job, my husband and so on and 

so on...

and...

Everything was suffering.

I had been raised in church and I still believed in Jesus but I was sorta' like a boat that had drifted away from the riverbank. I remember driving to work on New Years Eve (2011) when I passed a sign at a church that read, "I resolve to know God better" and I said to myself, "me too." I remember repeating that resolution to a friend at work and saying that was the only resolution worth making. 

Well to be quite honest, God was listening.

I made my resolution to read my Bible daily and I did. This was not something new to me but one of those things I let get pushed around in my life until it was completely pushed away. 

by and by..

My family had developed some crazy situations; my job had turn phsyco and I thought I was losing my mind.

then I kept have  this verse coming at me in many, many direction.

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God......

So I began to pray about this scripture and pray that I was doing what God wanted me to do and not just what I wanted to do. With all that being said I quit my job last October. This was a hard for me because I have always worked. Most importantly I have always needed to work; has required it to make ends meet. I was convinced that I must at least temporarily  devote myself back to my home.

Once I Put away my fear and put on FAITH my life started falling back into place.

Oh, has God blessed me!!

Through a very funny little winding path I have been lead to the community of bloggers. What I have learned is that I'm not at all alone; I'm not even alone in my belief . I'm so refreshed when I meet some new person that shares belief in God also.

Where is God leading me next? 

I don't know.

I do know He knows the direction and He holds the map.

I'm not sure what has pressed me so hard to share all this with you today. It's sorta like a 

Wednesday witness. 

I hope you've gotten something out of all this rambling I've done here.

Thanks for stopping by Southern Direction.

Be blessed!

p.s. Fear is the opposite of Faith.
