Hats

I wish I was brave.  Change is inevitable in life.  I get that.  

Several years ago, a couple of my close friends encouraged me to make a kinda drastic change in my life...I wasn't ready but now I am.  The Lord has been nudging and nudging and maybe He was nudging me back then but I was soo consumed with myself and my comfort that I didn't want to acknowledge His nudging.  Or maybe I just needed to come to THIS place...a place where I know this is what I need to do and now I am willing.  

I wear so many hats that have to be removed...and I'm praying replaced with different hats.  I know the Lord will give me those new hats and He will guide me to what He wants me to do.  He will light the way.

In the meantime, I need to lay down these comfy hats that I really do like but they aren't the hats I need right now.

I am ready, Lord.  Please help me put 

down these hats and follow your path.  

When it seems lonely, help me to trust YOU 

and nothing else.  Help me to lean on YOU and 

nothing else.  Help me to not pick-up hats that 

I'm not meant to wear.  Help me to remove hats 

with grace.  Help the keepers of those hats to understand and 

extend grace to me.  I would ask that You would bring 

other individuals to pick up my hats and wear 

them.  Enthusiastically wear them!   

In YOUR Son's beautiful name - Amen.
