Lean into it

















I could hear the wind whipping against the siding last nite, thought it was going to go flying off it was hitting it so hard! We, however, were safe inside. I felt, no matter what happened, we weren't going off with the wind as in the Wizard of Oz.
It was LOUD and I thought for sure it would do some damage, but I was content, at peace. I'm a light sleeper though, so obviously didn't sleep much! That's okay. I was able to contemplate and recognize how much at peace I truly was.
There were adverse conditions all around me, but I knew I was in the right place at the right time and I was safe. If something were to happen to me, well, that was up to God, but I just knew He would keep me safe.
One of the things I've (reluctantly) learned in this life is that you may be forced up against a wall time and time again and forced to make decisions that don't make any sense to anyone, least of all to you. None of the choices before you may even seem right, but not making a move is making a choice too and you still have to deal with the consequences with that as well.
I've finally decided, the longer I resist the "seeming" inevitable, the longer I wait to walk into my destiny. For whatever reason, God has put me on this path, I didn't choose it, He chose it for me when I chose Him because the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.
No one else has to agree with or understand, they may some day, they may not, but you have to be true to Christ, to who Christ is in you, and to yourself, first and foremost. When you are content that you are doing that, let the chips fall where they may. Leaning on the everlasting arms.
He who began a good work in you is faithful and just to complete that work.
Lean into it, the storm, instead of trying to run away, hinder or block it. Go with the decisions that you know are right, even (and often especially) if they seem foolish, will likely have poor consequences, etc. If you are confident He is leading you in that direction, go full force!
Be blessed! :)
