Ya know...slowly but surely, I am in the know.

The Guide

Where am I Lord? Which way now?

My head and my heart can’t seem to agree on who is in charge.

Just when I think I know, I find out that I don’t know enough to know; you know?

What’s the next step Lord? What choices should I make?

Do I run ahead, scout things out and see what I can do on my own?

Do I sit here and stew over all the possibilities, or go with my gut?

My head and my heart and my gut won’t cooperate.

If I use my head then my gut aches. 

If I go with my heart, my head goes crazy with worry.

If I go with my gut, my heart sinks and the voices in my head scream, “Stop! You are insane girl!”

This load is too heavy Lord! I can’t lift it, drag it, or carry it any further.

I can’t sweep it under the rug nor bury it in the back of my mind,

It is just too dang big.  I’m tired 

Lord. Are you there?

Child, I’m here; stronger and bigger than you can possibly imagine.

I see what you are seeing, but I can see beyond your limited vision.

I know what you know, but I know everything there is to know.

So I really do know; you know?

Let me show you, change you, and fill you with My Spirit.

Give your head, heart and gut a rest.

Open up your soul, and trust Me as I light the way ahead.

I’ll get you there, and even further;

I can do anything you know, far more than you can ever imagine,
Or request in your wildest dreams.
I do this not by pushing you around, or leading you by the nose;
but by working within you, My Spirit deeply and gently within you.

Put the load right on me, child; quit trying to carry it alone.

Take a break, lean your back my cross;

Inhale, exhale, and just be quiet for a while.

In silent contemplation you will find Me waiting;

Waiting for you to just say “Yes Lord.”

Understand that right in the middle of your grief and sorrow

Is a blessing for which you can be grateful.

Where there is pain, there is healing.

Where there is sorrow, there is joy.

Where there mourning, there is celebration.

You are my beloved daughter; with you I am well pleased.
