Calling Out

The moment I called out, you stepped in;
you made my life large with strength.
PSALM 138:3

I love that verse. I have it on my frig. My life has changed so much in the last couple of months. I find myself in complete awe of life itself.


I told my best friend a couple of months ago that I had finally decided to let The Lord drive. I sat in my car one morning before heading out for the day and said a simple prayer. OK Lord, I am sorry for being bossy and I want you to take control of my life. I told Him that I trusted Him completely and I was willing to go where ever he wanted me to go and do what ever he wanted me to do. I was at a dead end and did not see any of my stepping stones in front of me and I was scared.

I have always had my faith. Always believed in and loved The Lord. I always asked for help when I needed it and said thank you a few times. But I cannot look back in my life and see a place where I felt my heart swell with LOVE for my Jesus. I cannot remember a specific moment where I felt a calming PEACE come over me like a warm blanket out of the dryer. I cannot grasp a glimpse of my EXCITEMENT for the future.


Until now. Why the change? Because I called out. And now I am large with strength.


My heart is so full of LOVE, PEACE and EXCITEMENT that a simple thank you seems insufficient. I wish that I could put these feelings in a canning jar and pass them out to every person I come in contact with. Wouldn't that be neat?
Here you go...here is a little peace. Hey, mister, would you like a little love?

I am praying that all of you have bundles of LOVE, PEACE and EXCITEMENT in your heart and in your life.
