I’ve been away from blogging and reading blogs for years.
Reading this tonight makes me remember exactly why I read yours.
Just show up.
Exactly what I needed.
Love, Rie

I think it goes back to us being introverts and threes – who want to succeed and entering into a situation where we may not be a successful as we want. Just show up – a great one line mantra for discernment. Love your line: Maybe it’s not about me at all. Maybe it’s about God. About God wanting to show up.

lots to consider and your comment about the difference between want and wish – now that is a good question to ponder too.

wow you have my brain thinking this morning. Thanks!!

My P. Charming is losing his job and although I am retired, I am now looking for part-time work to help us through this season. One of the jobs I am applying for is online English teacher through VIPKids. Just lacking my teaching demo video. But I am so nervous about it. So worried that I will get the job…then what??? And worried that I won’t get the job…and then what?

I appreciate your encouraging post.

Just show up and He will do the rest! Perfect! I love the line “I realize God can do this work without me; he can help these beautiful hermanas without my help (Esther 4:14). But he’s inviting me to participate in what he’s doing right here.” What a perfect explanation. He invites us to participate in what he’s doing right here! What a revelation! Thank you

I love that! Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for showing up for God.

If you don’t show up it’s a certain fail. If we just show up and try there is no losing. That’s reserved for the ones that don’t show up.

I believe, as you well know by now, that perseverance is one of the greatest gifts God can give. And your self discipline is just that; perseverance.

They’ll show up because you do. It’s not a race, it’s a lesson… all the way around…

I tell God, “It seems like they are leading me, so why am I even here?”
Not in a bad way, just that they are so wise beyond their years.
I say “just show up,” too. And I do, and I struggle with grumbling to myself under my breath at times, mainly pointed toward myself which if I keep my eyes on Christ, doesn’t happen near as often (duh right? lol).
Thank you for sharing this. It shows me we all go through these times and that I am not weak when I also say, “God, you’re going to have to do this…”.
God bless you. I think it’s awesome that you are giving like this. Keep up the great work and faith my friend.

I struggle with the “just show up”. Knowing full well, if I show up God will exceed my expectation. I struggle now with making one step each day toward writing a book God clearly prompted me to write. The feelings of inadequacy, the thoughts that know one would find me credible….. Ridiculous. Thanks for the swift kick in the butt.
