follow.

I am done asking why. 
I've been asking the Lord that question for too long. 
And attempting to make sense of things that probably aren't meant to make sense.


So often I question what I think the Lord might be saying to me instead of just doing it. 
And you know what? its not too often that I get an answer. 
All it does it create stress and really the hated word, confusion. 
Why would I create something I hate? 
Thats why I'm done asking why. 

Its time to just act on what I feel the Lord is saying. 
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. 
Holy Spirit will show me if its displeasing to Him.
If I am right and it simply makes no sense, chances are, it will in the future. and if not, so what. its not my will I am after anyways. If He wants me to do something for no reason at all, I'll still do it- just to please my Father. 

And the 'What ifs' and regrets are just dumb. 
I'm over that too. It gets me nowhere. 

So for everyone who wants to know what in the world I'm doing, 
I've been saying, I don't know, but really, I do know. 
Following the cloud and the fire. And gathering stones on the journey.

faithful.

Hebrews 3:1-3 (The Message)
1 So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe,2 faithful in everything God gave him to do. Moses was also faithful, 3 but Jesus gets far more honor. A builder is more valuable than a building any day.


God I pray that we have the revelation of how faithful You are.
When we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, let us remember that its only a shadow.
Let us take comfort in your faithfulness. For Your love never fails. 
By You, O God, I stay amazed.

Faithful Lord, when You get the greatest Glory, I get the greatest good.
When I am hurting, You are faithful to mend my brokenness.
When I am dry, You are faithful to wash me in Your cleansing flood.
When I am weak, I am so very strong. For Your faithfulness remains- its  my weakness that perfects Your power.
Thank You Lord for being faithful and just to forgive my sins.

You never leave me or forsake me.

God You are the faithful God-
The one who keeps Your covenant of love to a thousand generations to those who love You and keep Your commands.
The one who does no wrong, You are upright, and just.
The one who shows Yourself faithful to the faithful.
The one who keeps us strong.
The one who protects, cleanses, and forgives.
The Creator who cannot deny Himself, thus remains faithful even in our faithlessness.
You are Faithful in all You do.
You are the rider on the white horse, called Faithful, and True. In righteousness You judge and make war.

Your faithfulness makes it so easy to trust You.
May I learn to be faithful to You, Jesus, just as You have been faithful to the Father.
Faithful and True, I honor You today.
Selah.
