But here’s the thing – in this new season, we have a chance to know God in a new way. Maybe you’ve never known Him as provider because you’re really good at providing for yourself! Maybe you’ve never know Him as dependable because you’ve always just depended on yourself and your friends. Maybe you’ve never heard Him whisper to you because you’re busy doing all the talking (I feel you sister)!
In this season you have the choice to make. You can chose to live in the present and experience peace, or you can try and figure out the future, which is where all the stress comes from.
One thing I’ve learned from touring with my husband and two little boys is that the only way to experience peace and really thrive in real time, is to be perfect. Baha! Kidding!! Take it from me, you gotta let that go! The way to live life to the full even when it’s full of challenge is to welcome Holy Spirit, be present to Him and trust Him with the future.
Pay attention this week as you go through the day. When do you feel anxious? I bet it’s when you’re worrying ahead, and not trusting God with it. Don’t guilt yourself for it, just pause, give it to Him, and pray something simple like ‘God I know you’re good and I can trust you right now’.
This season gives all of us the chance to pause for His perspective, to grow in the fruits of the spirit, and come out of this changed and renewed. Let’s not waste our energy on fear, let’s lean into the Father and get to know him in a new way.
Jodi and her husband Chris currently live in Nashville, Tennessee. Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, Jodi and Chris sold their condo, lived out of their Jetta and decided to listen to their hearts. They packed up all of their belongings in Winnipeg and headed to Nashville, to pursue music and faith.
