Comfort (FMF)
It has been a few weeks since I have participated in a Five Minute Friday. I’ve been thinking more than writing. I’ve been cooking more than writing. I’ve discovered that creating a really good cookbook–takes hours and hours of work. I’m also taking video, it just helps to SEE how things happen. I’ve been busy . . . just not posting.
So here is my FMF with Lisa-Jo Baker.
Go:
Uggh. Comfort. What a hard word on my first day back to FMF.
Comfort food, yes! oh wait, I’ve lost 10 pounds–not comfort food just yet.
I’ll just say it–I’m not in a place of comfort right now. I’m in turmoil. I’m in a mental and spiritual storm. Not in a drama way . . . where I feel the need to bring attention to myself. But in a deep down sort of “I think I know what my purpose is, now what do I do?”
I’m feeling the need to quiet myself so that I can find comfort in knowing that
I AM ON THE RIGHT PATH!
When I get busy–it seems like I immediately forget where I’m going, what is important, and the plan of how I will get there . . . Lord, show me the path, keep showing me my purpose, and Lord, I know it is hard with me but continue to lead me. Be Blessed.
STOP
I love this. Being on the right path (even if you’re not far along it!) is comfort indeed. :) Thank you for this thought, Renee. x
Adele,
I just want someone to tell me what I’m doing and where I’m going–oh, and that it is the right thing to do!
Be Blessed.
I really get this….when you feel on the edge…like something huge is about to happen or change–and you’re ready and willing but not quite sure where/who/when…peace to you as you figure out what is next!
Lisa,
Thanks for your wishes of peace! I wish I could just MapQuest my life and see the quickest route!
Be Blessed.
Hi Renee, I linked up after you in FMF today :-) What a fantastically honest post. I know that feeling so well – the turmoil that comes with not being certain of the next steps. But you’re so right, that we just need to keep asking God to lead us down that path and trust Him with our steps. Love this post!
Ruth,
Turmoil–that is a good word. Trust–another good word. It is like the chicken and the egg . . . which comes first Trust or Turmoil?
Be Blessed.
What a great comfort it is to be in God’s will! Bless you.
Kathleen,
I love that! What a great way to think of where I am right now!
Be Blessed.
Welcome back! Keep on ‘doing the next thing’ as you figure out what’s next! You’re headed there, girl!
I appreciate your honest heart. Congrats on your weight loss. Praying for you.
Knowing you are on the right path is such a comfort so you will be ale to endure the discomfort:)
I think my heart is with you at the moment — caught in the middle of turmoil. Oh it’s not a bad turmoil — it’s a turmoil of the Lord. I’m learning to let His lead, but my goal setting personality is trying to take over. Oh yeah I’ve got some turmoil among the fact that I know God is leading which brings comfort. So as I write in riddles and rambles, may you have a blessed weekend!
Alene,
I can see the prize! I know what I have to do! I’m just stumbling as I find my way! It is so nice to know that I have company along the way.
Be Blessed.
I especially loved the part “and Lord, I know it is hard with me but continue to lead me,” because that’s me, too. I never make it easy on Him. But He’s always faithful. Good post! Thanks for sharing this piece of your heart.
Susan,
I always joke that I’m training practice for Guardian Angels–if they can make it more than a few days . . . they might stand a chance–although, sometimes I think I hear wings flying away in a grumbling voice saying “why me?”
Be Blessed.
