'Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting- but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised'

for i know my God is faithful.

Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you. - Job 22:21

I need to give EVERYTHING to God. Everything. So that I can have peace. Let go and let God. Such a simple phrase but how I've undermined it's meaning. Things will go well for me when I submit to God. So I submit to you Lord. Gracious almighty.

Have your way. Let me take delight in you and look up to YOU, not to myself anymore. (22:26) Helpme to clean up my life. To listen to your instructions, and store them in my heart. Help me Papa, to look to your word. To search for your heart. For your will.

You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. - Job 22:28

I will succeed because you are the light. You are the light that will shine ahead of me, and I just need to follow it. I just need to keep walking in the light because how foolish would it be to walk in the darkness? How foolish would it be to find my way on my own when my vision can only go so far.

Pastor Kei, Pastor Billy, Pastor Camille, everyone - literally everyone is always telling you to just follow the light. To take the little steps in obedience to God and you will reap blessings. They always always always say that. But I guess I've gotten to the point where I've heard it so much that I have made my ears deaf to it because I think I already know. When I have not even begun to comprehend the simplicity but greatness of merely taking little steps into faith.

Lately, I've learned to really take those little steps in obedience and faith. To do things against emotions. To go on faith. Run on faith. To know that God is working in me, through me, and most importantly -with me. Those little steps? Seem to be going pretty far. To keep serving behind the scenes because God rewards that. I dont need praise from others, just God. And to know that in the end - He makes all things work out for the greater good. I've seen the harvest of my serving go throughh recently, in small but such loud ways - through the girls in my victory club, through my girls, through my family, through my encouraging boyfriend, and through the people I have always looked up to. (:

For if we obey him, everything will turn out well for us - Jeremiah 4:26
how could i have forgotten?
