Today, several developments made us feel like we suddenly have more options for purchasing a property. I felt excited and motivated again, and my mind immediately jumped into “Doing Mode.” However, I decided to hold back on all the actions my mind was urging me to take. I’ve been learning that many things I believed were the result of my efforts are actually not. It is God who makes everything happen the way it does in my life.
Doing more or doing it faster is not the way to make things happen, it usually only triggers more anxiety. Today, I heard a clear voice in my heart say, “Leave it to me.” On the way home, I surrendered everything into God’s hands and felt so free. When my mind isn’t racing with a million thoughts, I can pay more attention to what’s happening around me. The perfect summer is here—trees, grass, and farm fields are blooming with life. The vibrant green, gently touched by the breeze, dances under the blue sky. Life is truly beautiful, and it’s right in front of me.
At that moment, I heard God say, “This is how I want you to live. Focus only on the things you can control and enjoy. Leave the rest to me. Imagine immersing yourself in what you love, and when you’re done with your work, coming home to find everything you need ready and waiting for you. This is the kind of life I designed you to live.”
I am so grateful to have a mighty Father like You—to care for, protect, and provide for me in this way. Focusing on the present moment often seems like the hardest thing in life, but I know it is the way He wants me to live, not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. So, I will strive to live as my Father desires. So, I will fight for what my Father wants for me.
