God’s Alarm Clock

by | May 5, 2010 | God, thankfulness

I am so very thankful this morning. 

Last night I set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. for this morning.  As I was last night, I could it raining outside.  The passing thought ran through my mind, “I hope we don’t lose electricity through the night…my alarm wouldn’t go off.” 
Well sure enough, that’s what happened.  But I think God’s alarm clock woke me up!  I rolled over this morning and my clock read 5:00.  I wondered why my alarm wasn’t going off.  I sat up on the edge of the bed, and grabbed my phone to see if that was the correct time.  It wasn’t.  My phone read 5:50… EXACTLY the time I was to wake up Ali for her to get to school early today.  I couldn’t believe it!  What are the chances of waking up EXACTLY at the time I was to wake up Ali?  If it would have been any later, she would have been late.  Needless to say, I thanked God right there. 

I still have time to get myself ready, and to take a few minutes to share here.  I’m looking forward to seeing what else God is going to do today.  I’m sure I’ll see Him in all sorts of ways! 🙂  I have BSF this morning, our BSF fellowship afterwards, two meetings at Mission of Hope, then will hang out at school until Zach is done with soccer practice.  It’s going to be a great day!

Turns out…
surrendering control didn’t break anything.
(Except maybe my pride. And my planner. 😬)

But peace showed up.
Clarity followed.
And I finally had room to breathe.

Letting go isn’t losing—it’s living.

Surrender isn’t about pretending it’s easy—
It’s about trusting anyway.

You don’t have to understand it all.
Just release what was never yours to carry.
That’s where peace begins.

You weren’t meant to do this on your own.
You weren’t created to be your own source.

So if life feels heavy today, come back to the One who holds it all together—and holds you.

Let Him carry what you can’t.

Some women believe surrendering is stifling, or restrictive, or demeaning. Nothing could be more untrue.

When we surrender our will and lives to Jesus, it's then when we find true, abundant life.

What's one area of life you can surrender into His capable hands today?

I used to think surrender was scary.
Now I know what’s really scary…
Me in charge of everything. 😂

Surrender isn’t giving up—it’s getting peace.
Getting direction.
Getting the abundant life I couldn’t create on my own.

Here’s your permission to stop carrying what you weren’t meant to hold. 🙌

Are we holding on tightly or letting go?

Abundant life is a free life- living, breathing, and trusting God has everything under control.

Comment AMEN if you agree.

I hear numerous women say they want to grow their relationship with God, but they aren't sure where to begin.

Sound familiar? 

It's not complicated or difficult. Try these rhythms for yourself and watch your relationship with God grow.

Which one speaks the most to you?

Control was never meant to be our burden. 😬

We'll allow God to be in charge instead. (Because really, who are we fooling thinking we're in control, anyway?) 😉
