"Then It Hit Me, I’ve Been Holding Back
I wasn’t too far into the walk and began praying to God. In my mind and heart, I had this sense to ‘give Him the reins’. I’ve been more aware lately about holding back. Historically, I’ve always needed to be in control of my life, very strong-willed and clear directionally. I’ve been close to the Lord but holding back at the same time due to being afraid."

Jeremiah 29:11 [NIV], ‘“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”’

The always beautiful Medallion towel. Monograms beautifully. Ships today. The elegance of the @shulerstudio ‘M’ monogram is smooth and flowing and takes one’s eyes next to the beauty of the medallion weave/design. It’s a smooth and perfect flow between the monogram and the beauty of the rest of the towel.

BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN We have all experienced brokenn

BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN
We have all experienced brokenness (even a shattering) in our lives. We may feel broken right now. This can manifest itself in so many different situations – heartache, uncertainty, great loss, hopelessness due to a personal situation, a bad job, feeling we aren’t good enough or not understanding the path forward in our lives.

Candace Cameron Bure @candacecbure does a wonderful job with this daily devotional (available at portalofhope.com). Read stories from the Bible about broken people in need of God’s healing (i.e., Hannah who suffered silently because she couldn’t have children, Moses, David, etc.). Learn how God restores when we truly seek Him and invite Him into our heart and lives.

In the Bible, Hebrews 6:18-19 encourages us that we can find hope when we flee to God “for refuge”. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. In Proverbs 13:12, hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” You don’t have to go it alone and you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.

I’ve been reflecting lately on how I always take hold of the reigns and set ‘the course’ (have always been that way). There are also important periods when it is critical that we ‘give it over to Him, be content (be still), trust and wait’.
