Well...now, that's a deep subject.

Its 6:30 here in TN, and I already feel like i need to go back to bed; after last nights post, I was emotionally & physically drained... But; the most important part of me "escaping" to TN was to focus on God's plan, to clear away as many distractions as possible and as I started looking for verses to help me understand His plan for my life; I remembered these verses from 1 Thessalonians, he gives us 3 verses that state explicitly His will for our lives.

"Rejoice always. pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV)

It's funny how when you dissect promises from God. You're never off the hook. He tells us we must DO. He gives us three commands before he finally states that in doing these things we will be in his will. ( verb, what he intends, desires, expects from our lives)

Rejoice: VERB: to feel or show great delight...

Pray: VERB: To wish or hope earnestly as you communicate with God in reverence.

Give Thanks: VERB: to express gratitude.

Without ceasing, always, in everything: ADVERB: at all times, in all occasions.

Well... Now, that seems pretty easy. And to be honest, If I had followed those three simples steps, I know. I wouldn't have half the problems I do now.

So here's to starting over. To relinquishing control, Giving all we've got from here on out to remain in the Will of God.

Be blessed
Much love
