Kicking and Screaming on the Inside

    Do you ever make progress in an area of your life and feel more freedom, more joy, and then just get comfortable there? Obviously I do. In fact, I've been stuck at my presesnt "joy level" for some time...on this recent leg of the journey. I received some healing from a very old wound, and felt so good. Then I became satisfied with that. "Enough, Lord...that's good. Let's stop there."
    This morning He seemed to be telling me, "I can't leave you there. We're not done yet."
    So in a week I'm going to join 4 other women and possibly 2 men studying about Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You, in order to lead other small groups. As I worked on the first assignment, I saw why I need to do this. It is humbling and frightening. I am doing this kicking and screaming on the inside, but knowing it's His plan for me.
    But the Lord let me know it is His love that won't let me sit back and be stuck where I am. He loves me too much for that. He also let me know that there's so much MORE JOY ahead for me...and more freedom.
    Okay, Lord, here we go again.
