Recently, I lack the ability to arrange my words. Instead, I
seem to hear my brother’s statement ring in my ear, “keep it simple, keep it raw…”
So, the simple part: I am in a stage of transition and change. The raw portion: it’s filled with endless unknown. As a result, I seem to listen to “Farther
Along” on repeat by Josh Garrels.
Truthfully, I think in time I’ll understand why I am entering
into another transition; another collection of changes; and another season of
such unknown.
In the meantime, it’s like God is boldly whispering in my
ear, “Oh
Charlene, remove any limits or expectations that you’ve place upon me. I desire
to surprise you with my goodness. Furthermore, I will not only meet your daily
needs, rather I will take it one step further, as I give you the desires of
your heart.”
It’s a new year. Hence, 2014 is guaranteed to be full of
transition, change and unknown. So, maybe
you, just like me, need to be okay with the transition, the change, and even
the unknown. Because as the song states,
“farther along we’ll know all
about it. Farther along we’ll understand why. So, much more to life than we’ve
been told. It’s full of beauty that will unfold…”
I
choose to see BEAUTY in the transition,
the change, and the unknown.

Charlene,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the 'simple and raw'! Speaking volumes to my heart and soul right now. I, too, am in a transition. The last few months have quite possibly been some of the most difficult of my life. Full of worry, doubt, and fear... Yet I know that God is there and I beat myself up for not trusting Him. My word for this year is 'TRUST'. Although these next words were spoken to you I am receiving them for me too, "remove any limits or expectations that you’ve place upon me. I desire to surprise you with my goodness. Furthermore, I will not only meet your daily needs, rather I will take it one step further, as I give you the desires of your heart.” What a confirmation to me of God's whisperings to me lately. I will be praying for you through this transition.
Thank you again for sharing your heart and being authentic!
I hope you don't mind, I shared the link to this post on my blog. http://www.ramblingsofajesuslover.com/2014/01/trust.html
