Embracing.

Embracing. What do you think of when you hear the word? Most of us think of the physical touch, type of embrace. 
The next stage of a barren fruit is embracing, which is only fulfilled by letting go and letting God. Only once you've learned to let go may you learn to embrace.
Embracing can be just as intimidating as letting go. Since God's plans are greater than ours, embracing His plan may make you shake in your boots. What is expected of you is suddenly larger than you believe you can conquer. 
Don't be afraid to embrace God's will in your life. In the bible the words, "don't be afraid," appears 365 times. God is literally giving us the power to be FEARLESS every day of the year. We should live fearless. We have the Almighty on our side and the Holy Spirit living inside each of us believers. There is no reason to fear. 
Sometimes we let the world's fear control us. The fear of rejection, the fear of isolation and the fear of abandonment. Focus on God and what His will is for you.
If you listen to what God is telling you, He won't steer you wrong. God is the light in the cruel world. 
Now there is discernment to be used. Not discernment from what God is telling you but discernment in what God's voice sounds like to you. There are many snares set before our feet dear Christians and our job is to be wise in where we place our feet. The only way to know God's voice is by reading in His word, meditating and praying. Then we may find God's will for each of us and embrace it wholeheartedly.

Ruling.

Today I needed a little more encouragement than usual. I thought I would share what I found with you.  "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." Proverbs 25:28 It's true. I read this yesterday and I chewed on it for a while. What does ruling your spirit means? I believe it goes along with my last post of guarding your heart. I'll give you a little more insight of my life to maybe help.  I'm a redhead. Yup. Full blown ginger with green eyes. Nearly everyone will say the usual, 'bad tempers' and 'bad attitudes'. In reality, I've calmed down quite a bit in life and cut me some slack I have the odds against me. :)  It's very easy for me to get carried away with, well, anything. Although my temper isn't flaming hot all the time, its easy when something does make me mad to dwell on it. At this point many things make a situation worse and very few make it right.  Should I let thin

Faint.

My Dearest Barren, Isaiah 40:29-31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. [30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: [31] But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.    This is my scripture for today. On a day I needed it. On a day, that I've feared would come. On a day unspoken thoughts were given to mouth. "We might accept that he will probably be an only child." Those words have haunted since April, my last miscarriage. Only they weren't spoken by me. They were from my husband. He's a realist. He's just being honest and helping me face the hard truth; our wonderful toddler may be our only earthly child. It hurts in more places than one. As you well know and I'm not ready to 'give up'. It doesn't feel   right. But when I

Content.

My Dearest Barren, If you read my last post you know how being content for me in this moment is a struggle. (Nearly everything Barren related is a struggle.) I can't shake this feeling of wanting  another baby. Many of us Barren get comments by unknowing strangers and this is where God's word comes into our lives. Let your conversation be without covetousness ; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  Hebrews 13:5    Because we have Christ in our lives and He will never FORSAKE us, we should be content. He has plans to prosper us and not harm us. He, in His infinite wisdom, knows why. He has chosen you to bear this barren cross. Further yet, He expects us to guard ourselves from covetousness. He expects us to take rest in Him and be content with His hands in our lives. Let me tell you this verse really hit me today. The good Lord knew I would need it. So I pray for you, all Barren, and myself that the Lo
