I know I’m making a lot of lifestyle changes. And I am enjoying them. Really, I am. But there are some days that the weight of all the changes, plus everything else just weighs heavy on me.
I was walking the other day, with all these things running through my head. I was overwhelmed with all the new things in my life that feel like “must-do’s” and I was starting to get really stressed out. And a little depressed.
All I could think about was…I am going to be trying to do ‘all these things’ and struggle to stay well for the rest of my life.
It was a lot to take in. And it sounded so much like the truth. Isn’t the enemy brilliant at making things sound so *right* inside our heads?
But thankfully there was another Voice not far behind that one. Saying “no daughter, all you need to do is love Me for the rest of your life and I will take care of you.”
*tears*
So that is where I am today. At times in both places. The place where I am stressed out. And the place where I am resting in the Love of my Father. Hopefully in the coming days the Truth will be more alive to me and the “other voice” will be drowned out by His Love.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Amen, Amen, Amen!! I was going through the same thing at the start of the year!! I wanted/needed to make all these changes and feeling overwhelmed to do them, so much so I wasn't doing ANYTHING!! I took a deep breath and said, "Father, lead me. I will follow. I can't and do not want to do this alone."
Oh Kay, He loves us so much!!! Lots of exclamation points today : )
So thankful the Lord whispered His loving care to you! He reminded me of His care for me the other day through the old hymn "God Will Take Care of You". So thankful for a loving Father!
Your instinct to rest in His love will help you through everything. He is holding us closer than we know, in His infinite Love, every moment. I know that you "know" this, and I pray that He will help you to keep it in the forefront of your mind and heart. Sending warm cyber {{{HUGS}}} to you from snowy, icy Washington.
i'm so thankful the answer is so easy, if we pause long enough to listen to it. breathe, and fall into His grace. xoxo
You have great intuition Kay...and you have a great being beside you on this path!

Matthew 6:33 is my life verse. I didn't grow up in a christian home so seeking Him first is a learning process for me that I hope to continue each day of my life. Thanks for sharing and letting us in your heart.
