Little by Little
Little by little.
Oftentimes when your world flips upside down, it make take a while to steady your boat.
That’s okay. The dizzying effect of events can create a swirl that defies the calm waters of yesterday.
Staying ‘present’ in those moments isn’t easy, but it’s the antidote to resistance. Deal with one thing at a time, one day at a time and one decision at a time.
When faced with new life realities, prioritize the decisions, the moments and the day.
Your footing will come. The sands WILL stop shifting, and you’ll gain the sure-footedness you once new.
Little by little.
Take the care you need to regain your composure and stride. Those relentless crashing waves of emotions will calm, as you purpose to take the best possible care of yourself during the upheaval. They will calm as well.
Little by little.
Ask for, expect and be willing to receive ALL of the help you need. However little or much help comes — be willing to receive it.
And if you find you are simply worn thin, overshadowed by hurt, disappointment, sadness or fear, give Grace a chance to quiet the heart.
Grace is a powerful antidote on every level, helping you make decisions, do the seemingly impossible and get back on track.
And then, little by little, you can see yourself expecting the best for yourself, your loved ones and your life.
You’ll find yourself raising the bar of expectation to be in line with your best possible life for the season you are in.
You’re worth it.

Trusting God
I posted this on Facebook in March of 2013 — I love the ‘memories’ that are shared on our timelines. Why are they always so appropriate again on a brand new day, and a brand new life point. At the end of this post, spend a moment with the affirmation — let it sink in and apply it to whatever is on your plate today.
When we need a reminder that we might be holding on a tad too tight to the reins in one or more life areas, that awareness can lead to an encouragement to loosen our grip — just a bit.
As you enjoy this
visual see what comes to mind when you take that moment to ponder what you see. What pops into your mind? You may not realize you are holding too tightly. It may even have surprised you.God is willing and well able to lead you in fresh new ways, head you in a better direction and layout a plan for an easier, smoother transition to a change in your life.
Today’s Affirmation:
I let go and trust God to showcase all right action on my part. There will be a knowing and confirmation within me.
With childlike trust, I move forward. I let go, and I trust God.

Spinning Perfectly
It’s a spring-like Saturday, and my opinion personally?
I’m grateful, glad and nicely satisfied when I ponder all I don’t have to be responsible for. The planet is indeed spinning perfectly in orbit at the hand of our Creator.
The stars are aligned and perfectly shining in the night sky. And when we are privileged to catch the unexpected glimpse of the occasional falling star, our heart stirs and a smile arises with the knowing we are not alone and the loving, living sovereign magistrate of the universe has His eye on it all. How wonderfully soothing & calming.
As you mind wanders back to all that’s on your personal plate, those life areas that are directly ours to care for, let the thoughts be easy today.
Rest in the palm of a loving, caring providential source, our Father God. Those thoughts and responsibilities are much more easily handled when we acknowledge we don’t have to handle it all, not right now, and maybe not even today.
Affirmation: Today I am grateful for that all that my Creator so effortlessly handles. In my mind’s eye when tempted to be unsettled I visualize the planet flawlessly spinning in place. I am grateful for the love and safely that is mine.
