I have to be honest…the secret and darkness is very comfortable for me.

That statement holds a lot of things….it keeps me hidden in sin. it keeps me from being honest with the people around me.

Now, before you think that i am in some crazy “secret sin” i am not. But i have been thinking about how often we try and hide the things in our life and in our past because it is easier if it is your little secret.

But if we’re going to get all Biblical……

James 5:16 clearly says that there is healing in sharing your sins with others.

But why is it so hard to just put it all on the table. it is uncomfortable…..but on the other side of putting it all out there there is healing and freedom.

But, why is it so hard?

When i was in 24/7 we had scripture memory…each week we had to memorize a different scripture.  It was challenging, but as my life has progressed over the years i have gone back to those scriptures and held onto them…at the time i thought it was meaningless, but now, there is so much value.

This Isaiah 30:21 verse is one that i have been meditating on the last few days.  As Chad and I are in the transition phase and waiting on God to move and speak and show us what may be next.

I have to be honest in the fact that i have been a little stressed about what is next.  what is next for Chad, for me, for the Stevens’….but God reminded me that we will hear a voice behind us…IF we are listening.

So i am focusing on silencing out some other voices and noise to listen for THAT VOICE. I have to work on it…to hear THAT VOICE…

Do you have to work at hearing the voice of God or do you hear it easily?

And that…my friends…is what makes me smile. besides Jesus and Chad…social media lights my fire.

This is a great picture of Chad and I if i do say so myself. When i see this picture i am really proud of myself. When you see this picture you probably just see a crazy bald man and his wife.

But you may not know the whole story. Because of a lot of my past and a lot of the things i have been through i have always been super control freak. I didnt like to be picked up because i felt like i wasnt in control. I cared waaaaay too much of what people thought about me. and in that i was not living true to me. I was a reserved, scared and in control person.

And slowly i am learning to let go.

I am learning that i dont have to be in total control all the time. I am learning that I can trust Chad, who i gave my life to…He is trustworthy from little things like picking me up for a picture to taking care of me as his wife. and because i am a control freak i feel like i may have missed some of his shining moments…

i know that is a small little thing but it is monumental in my life. I am learning to let go and falling in love with life and the world around me. I am seeing the fun and beauty in everything.

Life is good. Just wanted to share this little milestone in my life.
