It’s Ok to Smile!

“Good morning Lord, I love you!” Good morning, my love!”, was his reply. “What do you have for the day?” The answer came in quiet stillness, it was just to be with him.

“I submit my heart to you today.” “Thank you Krista.”

Our conversation extended through the morning. “Is there something you need me to face today Lord?” “No, just pray, and it’s ok to smile,” he said lovingly. “Ok, Lord-Yes!” and I do smile!

As it is well into the afternoon now, I turn and look to him for anything further. “I will actively trust you Lord and follow your lead. I no longer will be lead by urgency, but by your Spirit, help me!” “I am.” “Thank you!” And I am truly grateful for today I have realized that chaos and urgency will not be my masters, but the Master Gardener! I am free! It is a strange feeling to have quiet and resolve with clarity and calmness. I believe, in the past, I allowed things to get remuddled because it didn’t feel safe or normal. But it is and this time, I am willing to pay the cost for my freedom and to remain so. I can not do this on my own, but it was only ever an illusion and feeling of being alone. I have never been alone, nor have I ever been expected, by God, to just figure everything out. Unfortunately that was the games people played to keep me grounded. No more!!!
