I almost never do this, but this really spoke to me and so I thought I would repost it here. I hope it blesses and encourages you as it did me!

Hey gorgeous ones,

Wow – it’s been a while since I blogged anything – which is neither by design nor intention. Anyway, trust you are well, trust you’ve had an amazing New Year period, trust your heart is feeling confident about the new decade before us.

Sometimes we can look at people who we admire or perceive as being on the forefront – and think that they are so amazing, so incredible. We can think that they never feel inadequate or incapable of the task before them. We can think that they “wake up” with profound twitter thoughts resounding in their spirits, that then to your amazement, get posted hours before you’ve even surfaced (let alone had a coherent thought for the day). Sometimes we can think that THEIR CONFIDENCE is never challenged.

Well, I’m going to let you in on a little secret – there isn’t one who feels like this. We’re all human and we’re all facing the same reality of living our individual lives to the best of our convictions. There are times when it’s easy and there are times when it’s a walk of faith.

This morning I read (and twittered, ha) about the simplicity of faith! Paul says in (1 Timothy 1:19) to “Hold fast to faith”… and then the Amplified Bible enlarges the meaning of faith as being “that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence”.

I’m a simple girl. By nature I grew up shy and not overly confident about my contribution to anything… but many years now with Jesus and many years that have proven Him and His Word TRUSTWORTHY in my life, positions me differently when it comes to confidence.

When your confidence wanes, do what the Bible says again and again and again and again… LEAN IN!!! Lean your ENTIRE HUMAN PERSONALITY into Jesus. If it helps, physically imagine yourself leaning, resting, taking a deep breath. Imagine yourself cuddling up with God, with your BIG heavenly Father, with a God who has been around the block a few times and then some! Cuddle up in a way where you DRAW STRENGTH from simply being near to someone much stronger than you.

Hey, I’m leaning in today. God’s got a big chest… and if all of humanity leant in, He could handle it. And not only handle it, but LOVE IT !!!

Take care,
Bobbie
