direction

As I sit here listening to my husband play guitar, I have a feeling of genuine contentment. Is it because I'm in my pajamas on the couch with the man I love and life seems to be going well? Maybe. I also feel contentment in knowing I am exactly where God wants me.
It's not a comfortable place where my life is perfectly on track and I've found that one passion, that thing I was made to do in life- but I am okay with that. I feel my Father's presence gently guiding and surrounding me. He's trying to keep me on course and yet I keep getting distracted and making the GPS "recalculate." I'm trying to follow his whispers and subtle lights of direction but find it hard to quiet those swinging monkeys in my mind jumping from one grand idea to another. Having pride and insecurity all over myself doesn't help matters.

I have always had an innate sense God wants me to create. God is the King of artful creativity as the creator of all things- since I am created in His image- maybe this is one part of Him He wants to pass down to me- His daughter. I find joy in that. My passion is serving Jesus in whatever way I can and I believe that will lead me on the path towards oneness with Him. One of my many problems is that I'm living too much in the future and need to live in the present- where He is speaking to me now, today.

Abba Father, I praise you for making me in Your glorious image. Help me to remember that today, as your daughter, the path You have me on is perfect and timed just right. May I learn to seek, listen and keep my eyes open to your leading and not my own.
