I am attending my first writer's conference this week. Where did this all come from? I never thought that I would take writing so seriously that I would actually pay someone to help with my writing, I hired a writing coach. I never thought I would pay to attend a writing conference, I leave on Wednesday. I never thought I would write a book and pitch the idea to publishers, I have two meeting this week with two publishers. What was I thinking??? I want to run!
Thank God I stopped thinking and started hoping, hoping in the plan God has, hoping in the Will of God not mine, hoping in His Strength not in my own. I stopped thinking of the failures of the past, the hurtful words of the past and started looking forward to the path that God has laid ahead of me, the one where he renews my strength, the one where I will soar and not grow weary. I will walk and not be faint because I am relying on Him, my hope is in the Lord.
Change is not a bad thing. It is an invitation to hang onto the Lord, to live on His strength not our own. New circumstances give us the opportunity to show His greatness in our lives. We don't need to run away!
However, God does want us to run and never look back. He wants us to run to Him, never looking back to where we have come from but toward His open arms!
Are there circumstances in your life where you need your strength to be renewed? Are there things that make you want to run away from God and not toward Him? How can I pray for you?
