I have been thinking about writing this post for a
few days now but when I sat down at the computer to share my thoughts...they
escaped me. I knew in my heart what it was I wanted to share but putting
it into meaningful sentences was proving to be harder then anticipated. I
sat and watched the curser blink...blink...blink. I walked away got a
drink came back and still the curser blink...blink…blink. I sat frustrated in the fact that I
wasn't able to translate my thought to the screen so I walked away again and
prayed and then the words just flooded my mind, my poor little fingers couldn't
keep up.
Earlier this year I wrote a post about 2013 being
the year for change. What I didn't realize at that time was how much
might actually be changing this year. So much has happened in the few
weeks since I wrote that post.
There have been so many exciting changes for me personally, for my hubby
for us as a family (no we aren't announcing a pregnancy). I have had some
spiritual revelations that I'm super excited about and I hope to share but for
today I want to rejoice in the feeling...the feeling of peace!

Typically in times of change, times of uncertainty, when I'm not in
control I feel a lot of stress. Normally, there’s this cloud of anxiety
that looms over my head but for some reason, with life changing decisions
ahead, I have an overwhelming sense of peace. Don't get me wrong there are
moments where the anxiety creeps in but overall I feel at peace.
In the past it hasn’t been easy for me to fully surrender control to Him,
I’ve always wanted to have my hand on the steering wheel. It normally takes a
conscious effort to surrender to His plan rather then my own but again there is
something different about these possible changes that lie ahead of us. I haven’t
had a desire to be in control, it seems natural to lift it up to Him and pray
for His will in all the different areas.
Christina, thanks for sharing! I feel like the past couple years have taught me a lot about letting go of control and letting Jesus take over. It's not easy to do! It's so much easier to worry and try to do things ourselves. Anyway, I was encouraged by this!

I love this post, Christina! So good! :) I am in a similar place this year. I have some pretty huge hopes and dreams on my heart, but I also feel content and at peace, knowing He holds all of them in His hands. I know He hears me and knows the desires in my heart, because He's placed Him there, and I can rest in the knowledge that He will orchestrate everything according to His perfect plan for my life and in His perfect timing. Surrendering can be so hard, so what a wonderful and birthday way for you to begin 2013! :)
