Remember a time when you didn’t know what to do? Right now, I’m in that position related to our son. I’ll spare you the gritty details, but Ray has special needs and lives in a supported setting some 45 minutes away, just far enough to keep me from being a mother hen. I want what’s best for him, yet I see him continuing to struggle despite support systems being in place. Lord, I need Your direction.

My book, A Goldilocks Life: Not Perfect, but Just Right” is finally finished (praise the Lord!) and I’m preparing to submit it to a publisher. There are expected requirements, and I am trying to decide whether I should put all the information in the email I use to submit it, or if I may attach documents. Little things, but I don’t want to make anything but a great first impression. Father, show me Your way.

Today I read these comforting verses:

Philippians 2:5-7 “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”

Our Savior Jesus Christ chose an attitude of dependent humility in relation to His Father, to the point of dying on the cross. And so too must we submit ourselves, knowing that the Holy Spirit will show us God’s way, one humble step at a time.
