I'm joining the Five Minute Friday writers this week. Our prompt: DWELL
The first thing that popped into my mind when I thought of this word was this verse:
"Forget the former things; do not DWELL on the past." Isaiah 43:18
The former Me - in 2013:
Since I started my business Live Courageous Coaching on the first of October this year, I have been challenged to walk the new path set before me. Self-employed life gives me regular opportunities to doubt my calling and retreat in my mind back to past misfires in my past. Then He beckons me to come into His presence and trust Him to give me the courage to stand in all He has provided in and through me for this new adventure.
For the first time in my life I am living fully in my original design, conquering my long time battle with clinical depression, and meeting the temptation to DWELL on the past with fresh vision for the future not only for myself but for those I am coaching.
The next verse says, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
Many of my past experiences have left me feeling stuck in the wilderness or thirsty in the wasteland.
Now, I am able to live the NEW thing where He is making a way.
The new me - DWELLing in 2015:
You look awesome and healthy and happy. Good job.
