Baby Steps

Yesterday, I went up to the altar to pray and when I got there, I didn't know what to pray for.
At a loss for words, I asked God what He wanted me there for.
As I was waiting, one of my good friends, Don Flynn, got on his knees and prayed with me.

He said " Do you feel like a hamster in a never-ending wheel? "

When he said that,I started to cry. Please understand that I don't say this to get pity, that's for another blog later.
I say this to say that God knows what our needs are before we even speak them.

God told Don what I needed to hear and he was absolutely right. I do feel like a hamster on a wheel. I feel like IT never stops. Everything!!!!!
Everyday I try and do as much as I can so I can get what I want.

Don was basically telling me to let go and Let God.

That's not an easy thing for me to do because I always thought I was in control.

So to take a thought from one of my favorite movies, I will need to take "Baby Steps"

Letting go is something I'm not used to, just ask my wife. She will tell you that I'm a pack rat. I don't like to let go of anything.

Baby Steps.

In order to walk we must crawl.

I am praying for you as you begin your 'baby steps'. Sounds to me like God is really preparing you for something, and that is often uncomfortable in the beginning. I am excited to see what He is going to do...
Love ya... Holly
