My Path...His Light


My path in life appears to be on a change of course. 
A directional shift....
An uprooting of the familiar and a journey of the unknown.....
Removal from where I am to positioning me where I need to be.....
Emotionally and physically.

I did not anticipate or see the impending changes and to be honest I did not ask for them. 
I have been pretty content in my little happy place, why change it?
The irony of it all is our daddy God never leaves us where we are in life, including our content little happy places. 
It is there we become complacent and stagnant.
When our growing stops and our lives become dry.

And then there are those times when all hell breaks loose and our path becomes covered in darkness....
When everything that was so right becomes a storm right in front of your eyes.
A storm sent  to blind our vision....
To batter our hearts.....
To break our spirit......
And shake us to our core.
I don't know about you, but I do not like being blind sided in life.
I am ok with change as long as it's a change I am well prepared for.
I want to know when , how and the reasoning for such changes. 
That's the human side of me.

As I traveled over the weekend to my home church in Texas, I had several hours  for just me and my daddy God to have a conversation. 
Pouring out my heart to him concerning this new storm, this bump in my path .....
Telling him how hurt, broken and tired I had become.....
Asking him "why" and "how come".....
Questions after questions rolling from my heart to his ears....
Tear after tear.......
Mile after mile......
Sharing my most heartfelt emotions, I look up and the sun has broke through the clouds, gleaming over the road , lighting my path.

 It was  then and there I was reminded I am not alone.
 He is my light and my lamp.
He is there to guide me.
Heal me.....
Restore me......
Hold me up........
And love me through it all never to leave nor forsake me. 
I am never truly alone....
And neither are you.

 I do not know where this new path will take me. 
Or all the changes that will take place along the way.
Nor do I know it's purpose.
But what I do know.....
It is speaking His word in and over my circumstances that brings light in the darkness.....
 His word is the lamp that shines under my feet for each step I take.

If you are on a new uncharted path....
A path that you can not see the end....
You are not alone and there is always a light to guide you....
The light of our daddy God.

 My Path.....His Light~

    Wow Stacey, I just found your blog a few minutes ago and subscribed to it. This posting is so beautifully written and so timely for me because my husband's sister has a son who is in his mid-to-late 40's and he is suffering with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He is going down fast and his parents are devout believers in Christ. They have been hit hard with this and so many other things here lately. They are in their 70's. I send them cards to try to encourage them and lift them up. Your posting here is just perfect--may I please include it with their next card? I promise to give you credit. Thank you for your consideration.

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet"......
