yes.
there is a lot of uncertainty in life, but that doesn't mean that it's okay
for me to say no to what He has called me to do.
commanded me to do.
and when i say yes?
it's not about blessing me, but it does.
most importantly, i hope & pray that saying yes
glorifies God.
is He calling you,
commanding you...
to downsize your house?
to upsize your house and fill it?
to answer an orphan's cry for a family?
to simplify?
to spend more time investing in someone's heart?
to stop doing and start resting in His love?
to stop working so much & spend more time on the eternal?
to play more?
to love better?
to stop all your questioning and just go?
to stop all your wondering and just say yes?
[my answer is yes. to a lot of these.]
thank you for this, Love. I've really been worrying over something that would be a BIG deal and a big change for our family. Thank you for this reminder to rest in whatever God has called us to do.

ReplyDeleteas always...a wise word
ReplyDeleteWow. This was so good.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good.
Thank you for listening.
The answer is yes for me and mine too! Destiny
ReplyDeleteThis really spoke to me. We are in a season where we need to be saying YESYESYES and obeying and moving forward. Thank you. <3
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier to say YES when God prods you...otherwise, He just keeps prodding you and then all you get is bruised. :) Thanks for reminding us that we should listen to His directions.
ReplyDeletelove the post my friend! it is so easy for our heads & "logic" to get in the way of our hearts and the Father heart of God. so want to live a life that makes sense to Him, even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else. =) we support you in your answers to the questions too!!
ReplyDeletethanks for this post! sometimes things really are simple...
ReplyDeleteThe scary questions are always the best questions!
ReplyDeleteIf only more people understood that it's in obedience, the blessing comes! It's not always easy obedience...I think of Abraham with his son on a mountain...but the blessing came, a replacement for sacrifice. Abraham named that place "The Lord Will Provide" and it's when we step out in faith/obedience, that He provides in miraculous ways!
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding us again! We love what you stand for!!

Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a gift, Miss Love. Thank you for allowing yourself to BE a gift in this world.
ReplyDeleteMy answer is YES to some of those things.
Love, this post hit me hard. There have been some things weighing on my mind lately about what I desire and what God desires for me. They clash all too often, and more often than not I choose me, me, me. I'm a work in progress for sure. I need to learn to say yes more without questioning why so much.
