Thinking of my King. And a rocking chair.

A few weeks ago I closed my eyes and thought about my God.

My Father.

His love for me and me being with Him.

And what did I see?

This big huge rocking chair at Country's Barbecue:

When I was a little kid we would go to this restaurant and climb up into the chair.

It was fun, of course and I enjoyed it.

I remember climbing from the ground, up the side of the chair,

all the way into the seat - it was SO high!

Well, as I closed my eyes and just thought of God's love for me,

I pictured Him as big as this chair.

He was sitting and I was climbing up His leg, into His lap,

just like I did on that chair at Country's Barbecue.

And when I got into His lap, I was so little,

I could just sit there in perfect peace,

knowing that I was fully loved

and completely protected

by the God Who made me and loves me.

That's where I always want to be.

A child of the King, rocking in the arms of my Daddy.

Become a fan of Country's Barbecue here. Which is where I found the picture : )

Change of Faith Week 1 Review

So, this is the end of the week of my new plan to walk in faith.

It wasn't too bad *smile*

On Tuesday I was called about a possible temporary job offer and I had to let them know for sure by Wednesday morning. I thought about it, prayed about it, tried to figure out what to do, and then decided I'd tell them what dates I was available and see if that worked for them. Well, Wednesday morning rolled around, I told them when I could work, they said my dates didn't work for them, so, end of story. When I hung up the phone I realized that I had been stressing over that whole job issue since the day before. Not good. If I trust God to direct and guide my steps, if I really trust Him, then there is no place for worry.

Fears may come and go, but I will not live my life out of a place of fear. Life is too short to be held back by lies. I will walk ahead in truth and joy and peace!
