Following Your Heart

I haven't written in quite a few days as I have been out of town attending a funeral. Just haven't felt like doing the blog but am trying to get back at it. Sitting here this morning I was at a loss on what to blog about and have settled on the topic of following your heart. Ever since late 2007 I have been following my heart more closely than I ever have in my life. I finally, after many years, completely surrendered the direction of my life to God and am now allowing him to direct my path. Being a songwriter I can't help but think of Carrie Underwood's song "Jesus Take the Wheel" since that title really sums up my current situation.

Everything I was afraid of has turned out to be nothing to fear - a simple lie. I have spent too many years fearing things that were nothing to fear in the first place. Now I am on an absolutely incredible journey filled with excitement and fun. I realize that this path will not be a total bed of roses and will have disappointment and tough times, but I was going to have those anyway.

My devotion this morning was 1 Samuel 10: 3-9 and the message is basically God is with us and can be trusted to guide our paths. If you are still struggling with letting go of the steering wheel of your life, let me assure you Jesus is a very good driver! Let him have it...

Have a blessed day!
