“When we submit to God’s plans, we can trust our desires. Our assignment is found at the intersection of God’s plan and our pleasures. Each of us has been made to serve God in a unique way. The longings of your heart, then, are not incidental; they are critical messages. The desires of your heart are not to be ignored; they are to be consulted. As the wind turns the weather vane, so God uses your passions to turn your life. God is too gracious to ask you to do something you hate.”
Max Lucado
Countless events, scenarios, progressions and regressions … have called me to become Awake. And I am at a place where I understand this is not the time nor the season to return to sleeping. The remainder of my time here, in this space and time continuum, must be spent Awake. There is beauty and power in being Awake. All of the fear and dread I held so closely and believed were a part of waking… all were lies. Not being Awake is the source of chronic fear. Being awake casts out fear.
My desires? Minimalism of property. Helping other women. Release of attachment to the things of this world. Courage. Integrity. Slowing down. Thinking before speaking or acting. The desires of my heart are to answer my Higher Power’s call. Daily. Moment by moment. To live fully in the blessings and trials and realities that are inseparable in this human life. I can rest assured that the God of my understanding will provide and care for the desires of my heart and will bring me to their fruition.
