April 2023 Week 1

Another month, another intention!!!! “Everything is unfolding exactly as it should.” Lets let this intention slide us into the renewal of springtime.
On Monday I referenced excerpts from Joyce Meyer’s Battlefield of the Mind devotional. “For a long time I wanted to explain and reason out everything, but when that didn’t work, I ended up feeling miserable.” Does this resonate with you? She continues…..”I’ve always been curious, always wanted to know, and always wanted to figure out the answer. Then God began to work in my life. He showed me that my constant drive to figure it out caused me confusion and prevented me from receiving many of the things HE wanted me to have.” Can I/We trust this? She continues….”I didn’t like loose ends, so I felt more secure when I figured things out. I wanted to be in control of every detail of every situation. When I didn’t understand or was unable to figure things out, I felt out of control. I was troubled and had no peace of mind. It was a long battle for me because I finally admitted something to myself (God knew it all along): I was addicted to reasoning. It was more than a tendency or desire to figure out things. It was a compulsion. I had to have answers - and had to have them right now. It wasn’t easy giving this up, I felt lost, frightened, alone. I had always depended on my ability to figure things out.” Can you identify with this? The holding on, the control, the thinking, thinking, thinking to figure it out is all exhausting and a complete waste of time!!!! Today I am shifting into - Everything is unfolding exactly as it should - I will get out of the way and enjoy these beautiful days!!!! Together lets TRUST, it truly always goes back to trust!
