One Step at a Time

Today, I took another step. I took a step up. In all my years, it seems I've always tried to take at least two steps at a time to ry to make it to my destination. In doing so, I found I have become winded, had blurre vision when I reached my destination and sometimes forgot why my mission.

Slowing down has been something I always thought I could do on my own but the Lord God Almighty had to show me that I wasn't doing it right. He had to knock my flat on my back to really get my attention and to be able to show me that I need only to take one step at atime.

WIthin the recent months, I have been humbled more. I have found that my health was not where I thought it was and it was needing to be dealth with quickly. I have found that some people in my life in 2009 are not/will not go into 2010 in my life (this was very difficult to come to grips with). I have found there really is no need to rush through life to try to reach certain areas that have not been completed and made ready for the new events.

If I just learn to take one step at a time, this enables me to be able to firmly plant my feet on one step before trying to do a balancing act and trying to have my feet in two places at one time. God has no rush timing; only humans do that.

In 2010, I want to be sure my steps are with the Lord. I want to be sure I'm not trying either consciously or unconsciously to rush Him and His timing or my own. I want to be more focused and set realistic goals. I want to see new potential and growth spiritually, physically, financially, relationally, mentally and any other way the Lord would have it.

There is something stirring up within me that I cannot fully explain. I just know that it makes me excited. I know that it makes me happy and I know that it will help me make it through. I know it is the Lord and I know it is Him working on and in me. But, I don't know fully what it all means. I know what I believe and I believe that if I just take it one step at at time, He is right here with me, leading an guiding me, helping me, comforting me.

Some big changes are coming into my life in 2010. Some big changes are coming into just about everyone's life in 2010. I don't mean to sound cliche'. That's just life. However, I am excited about becoming focused, more dependent and trusting on the Lord and followig Him, one step at a time.
