Just Breathe

So far today the comment that keeps running through my head is: Just breathe, it will be okay, just breathe. And it is true, the best thing that I can do is breathe, take things one at a time, and give everything over to God. Although it is something I have learned about a million times, I continue to have to re-discover that I can do nothing on my own, but only through total reliance on God.
After a few days of hectic running around, I am almost all packed up and in the process of moving it down to the basement/into the van... and tomorrow I sign a lease. Kinda crazy how fast things are moving and changing. It is good, but again that phrase it one I keep coming back to: Just Breathe. Trust God and Breathe.
That is my motto and probably will be forever.
So often I want to stress and try to get things done... but I try in my own strength, and I fail, or complete what I was doing, but at the price of my sanity.
Again and again I will remind myself: I am going to the next step in life, and this step (all all those to come) is not something that I can accomplish on my own. I am moving in faith and relying on God.
I have tried already the living of life in a "safe way" in a way that I can meet all my needs and not risk anything. But nothing is gained. Only dread dreams and complacency.
No, I have decided in life, I am going to risk it all to follow my God, my dear Jesus that I love. I will follow His voice where ever it leads and trust His to supply for all my needs. And thankfully, God knowns my weaknesses and tendency to doubt, so I have these times of preparation--Where it is my choice if I will trust and see Him come through. He is preparing me, and I am so thankful. Thankful to have a God like Him, and thankful He does not just throw me in the deep end and leave me to my own devices. He is a loving God who is with me always, waiting for me to ask for help so that He can step in and bless my socks off. Which He does constantly!
