As I think about moving forward, I think about a question someone asked me. Can you put "taking risks" and "walking by faith" in the same category? I don't think you can. Risk taking means you don't know if the outcome will benefit or hurt you but you are willing to try and see where things go. Walking by faith tells me I know that everything is going to turn out alright. Whatever happens, I knowing I'm going to reap the benefits of it. I'm deciding this year I am walking by faith.
Mark and I still keep in contact. It would be easy to say, "let it go and move on". But my soul is telling me not to. To others, this continued friendship is risky because there is no guarantee that I will get the results that I want. I have already handed this over to God and asked him to guide my actions and words. I am faithful in knowing that at this moment, he is ordering my steps and guiding the words that I speak. He is not putting me in any situation that he knows I can't handle.
In the year 2009, I am going to trust God more in the decisions that I make. I have to stop relying on what I see and don't see. God has worked out miracles for me that I could have never imagined before. What would make me think now that he is not continuing to watch over me?
In 2009 I am going to stop listening to my "friends" all the time and seeking their advice for every move I make. I know some of them mean well, but sometimes the words that they speak are not the ones I'm suppose to hear. I'm not going to seek out the advice so that I can hear what I want to hear. I'm going to just "walk by faith".
