The military moved my family to the Emerald Coast 26 years ago & we have never left! We love the coastal life, warm sunshine, fresh seafood, and miles upon miles of blue sky, teal water and white sugar soft sand. My Jesus, hubby, family, and friends are my joy!

Reflecting back on this busy year, God has been ta

Reflecting back on this busy year, God has been talking to me about my need to ‘release’ before I’m able to 'receive' from Him.

Why do we wrestle with surrendering and letting go? Fear of loss, lack, or missing out on something or someone? We forget we can’t outgive God. When He asks us to release (fill in the blank), it’s because He has something even better to put into our now open hands.

Creatures big and small respond when it’s time to prepare for hibernation but what if they couldn’t settle down because they were concerned about missing out on something? What if all the trees shook a branch at God, refusing to release their grip and surrender their leaves to Him? The weight of newly fallen snow could snap that branch in two. The tree instinctively knows it needs to release to receive.

We can choose to see the beautiful leaves blanketing the earth as dead and useless or we can see them as partaking in the beautiful circle of life, a catalyst for new growth, giving nourishment back to the soil in preparation for Spring. This is all part of God’s good plan. Creation trusts its Maker.

Reflecting on this process, what might you need to release in this season of life so you can receive God’s good plan for you? Harmful habits? Leaning on your own understanding? The clutter in your soul? Fear? A toxic relationship?

Is God is asking you to release something (or someone) so you can find and receive rest and renewal in Him? Or maybe you need to release your grip on an over-packed schedule so you can return to your first love (God)? When the Lord calls us to rest, it isn’t always because we just went through a tough season. This rest could be to conserve our energy, in preparation for what is up ahead.

If your opportunity to rest and re-charge is right now, will you overlook it and miss out on what the Lord wants to deposit into you? We all seek renewal, but a lack of surrender or release will never lead to restoration, healing or wholeness.

I pray you and your family will enjoy a blessed season of heightened gratitude and a harvest of blessings that can only come from God. He will make everything beautiful in His perfect timing.

Love and prayers,
Donna xx
