My word for May 1st is STEP

My word for May 1^st is STEP

Every morning I wake up and check to make sure that I have placed my writing properly on my Facebook page.  This morning I checked and also read a post on my favorite page “Karma Without Harm”.  Patricia Menko had left this quote, “When a task seems too large, break it down.  Still too large?  Break it down further.  It’s okay to make breathing a step.”  So true.  On August 3, 2011 I began my steps to the future, to a new beginning.  Everyday was a step; every moment was a step, every minute a step, and every breath a step.  Sometimes the steps were easy, but some were difficult.  Some were large steps and some were baby steps.  Some would make me smile and others would leave me in tears.  Every step however leads me to a new day, a new me, and a new life.  These steps may seem miles apart, but I know that they lead me to a fabulous future. 

How do we make our steps easier?  This is a simple question.  Walking with God will lead you to the healing that you need.  When we are faced with a challenging situation it becomes easier when we take every step with Him.  This can be difficult.  The devil will sometimes sneak into our path and shorten our steps.  He can also make us stumble, but God is there to pick us up when we fall. 

Step through your challenges and let God lead the way.    He will help you make every step count. 

Dear Lord be with us when we take steps in this journey of 2012.  Lead our steps in the direction that you want us to go.   We know that some of our steps must be small, but it is the small steps that lead to the big ones.              We walk down this journey of 2012 finding the steps that lead to Your wisdom and peace. 

~Psalm 37:23-24 (NIV)

“If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

~Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)

“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.”
