I have missed my tribe. Lately, things have compelled me to write on
Thursday and as a result, I’ve given myself Fridays off. However, as an emerging writer, I greatly
appreciate the discipline that FMFs offer.
So, hello, my peeps. I am back if you will have me. Welcome to Five Minute Friday.
1. Write for 5
minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking (harder than it
sounds)
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments.

OK, are you ready? Come on and join the fun!
In all your
ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV)

Path…
GO:
It’s not that I was going the wrong way….I just chose to walk the way I thought I should, in a Godly fashion. Lately, I’ve yielded. It’s not that I didn’t understand Proverbs 3:6 (my Gayle’s favorite scripture, the one on her vanity license plate…), I just wasn’t ready to truly be directed on the Path.

Interesting
that today’s FMF prompt is Path. Here is
how I know I’m now being led…that I have finally yielded (it’s an ongoing
struggle, but I fight less…) everything I’ve written or done lately affirms
(confirms) to me that letting go is the most powerful act of worship I can
offer.
I’m
not a pushover. I’m not easily
persuaded, however, I am not obstinate, just clear. When I say yes, I am committed. When I say no, there is no debate (I do not
often say “No” choosing rather to say “what you ask cannot be done, but let’s
explore other options. Because I take saying “no” so seriously, I try to
reserve it for the time’s its absolutely necessary.
Lately,
I’ve been saying “Yes.” “Yes, I will be still.”
“Yes I will yield.” “Yes, I trust
You, differently than I ever have before, and I yield to Your direction along
my path.” I have not change
direction. I have simply chosen not to
affirmatively choose on my own anymore.
My path has not changed at all. I have.
