Word prompt--TWO
Five minutes to free-write about it
-------------------------------------------------------
The number two has played a very prominent part in my life these last several weeks.
I won't go into any great detail because after much frustration, I distinctly sensed the Lord telling me to let a certain situation go. I did, and instantly and miraculously, all the turmoil churning inside of me was replaced by a great peace that I do not wish to forfeit.
In brief though, it all centered around the number two. Two little paint pots in a paint by number kit I had ordered that were not the color code they were supposed to be, and my numerous and futile attempts to get the company I purchased the kit from to replace them.
This week's FMF prompt, coming just a day after my decision to let it go gave me a good chuckle.
Foe sure, sometimes letting it go can be the best thing to do!

ReplyDeleteThese are sunshine words. Well, Sonshine.
I love that this was your prompt after dealing with it for some time.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that the Lord cares about all aspects of our lives.
Sometimes its the tiniest of things that can throw me into a tizzy. Good for you to let the 2 things go. God Prompts are always the best for us.

And there were go, two by two.
ReplyDeleteIt’s often the smallest things that can really get us worked up. Kudos to you for letting those two things go! God’s prompts are always so beneficial for us.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Sandra

DeleteGood of you!
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes we need to take a moment to reflect on the things we worry so much about. To then realize that we can also let it go because it's not worthwhile.
Regularly, when I am so worked up, I force myself to think: Is it for God's glory? Or is it because I think it's so important? That makes it a bit easier to let go...
Of course you can share the quote from my blog.
ReplyDeleteI "borrowed" it from someone unknown too. (:0)

Hi Great Granny, God speaks to us in amazing ways, and I believe He was telling you to be anxious for nothing. God bless you with all He has for us in Jesus.
ReplyDeleteGood advice to us all, let it go :) Thank you for the reminder.
