Is it time?
Am I ready for transformation?
To come out of a cocoon,
To burst forth into the light?
Sometimes the thought scares me
I want to just stay hidden
Sheltered within the wrapping I have created
But God has other plans
He wants to
Shine His light
through His children
Show His glory
with magnificently colored wings
Am I ready to see myself
how God sees me?
Am I ready to transform?
Is it time?

I can change things about me
about how I interact
about how I process
about how I re-act
But if I am going to make any changes
I have to do it for me
because I want to
not for you
not because
you think I should
not because
you think
life would be
easier, better, happier
for me
(or maybe just you)
That’s your opinion
and unless I agree
and decide to make changes FOR me…
neither one of us will like me very much.

What do I do?
What comes next?
How do I handle it?
What do I do?
What’s my next step?
What’s the right thing to do?
What do I do?
What if it goes wrong?
What if I make a bad decision?
F R O Z E N
Frozen
in indecision
in wanting to know certainty
before stepping out
in wanting my decisions to
always be perfect and right
Frozen
in wanting perfection and control.
But I don’t have to be in control
I give my fears over to the Lord
He will guide my path
He doesn’t care if I end up making the “wrong” choice
and as long as I am resting in Him,
no decision will be wrong –
except to wait
for perfect control.
~ Let the thaw begin ~

Thank you for joining me this month for the celebration of
i AM complete
as the month comes to a close, i want to remember:
no man, woman or child is needed to make me whole
no romantic comedy, or fairy tale, paints the real picture for me
i do not need to be rescued for a happily ever after
real love is kind, sincere, patient, never resents, and always apologizes
the roles i have in my life, no matter how well i do them, do not complete me
and God love me more than i can imagine, no matter what i do
i don’t need to be anything different
i don’t need to have anything different
i don’t need to do anything differently
because of God’s grace
i am a beautiful image of Him
just as i am.
i rest
and know
i am complete.

all that I experience
all that I do
all that I have been through
creates who I am
God knows
each event in my life
each experience I have
each moment I live
and all of it
is what helps me
be who I am
and know who He is
I am exactly who
who I was created to be
who I need to be
in this moment
today

Am I kind to myself?
Or am I harsh with the words I repeat in my head?
Am I critical of me?
Or can I be gentle when I fail?
Plant
Kindness
Grow
Love
Being able to love myself for who I am starts with kindness to myself

There is freedom in His grace
it covers all that I am
all the mistakes that I make
all the wounds that I wear
When I actually stop
trying to do it all myself
and allow brokenness to bubble up
He handles everything
Lord, help me to remember
today and every day
I am complete
I am free
in you.

I do not need someone to rescue me
I am capable of
making sure I am cared for and loved
making sure I am safe and secure
in fact – here I am 🙂
I can charge ahead on my own majestic horse
lift my own circumstances
free myself from negative influences
connect with the power of God
in me
and rescue myself
I deserve it and I can do it

Another romantic comedy
flits to my mind
the idea that someone would “See me as perfect”
creates fear of it’s own kind
It’s not endearing
to see a false version of me
It makes me feel pressure
and wonder who you want me to be
I am me
Perfection only in God’s eyes
let’s keep it real between us
no romanticized lies
Know My Worth
