JOURNEY BY MEGAN HORSFALL WWW.HAPPYSPLATDESIGN.COM.AU

Life is unexpected. From one day to the next, things can change. Plans that have been made at length and with detail can come undone in an instant. People that we love can be called home. Businesses can disolve and relationships can end. It can come as a shock or it can come as the last straw after many straws. How we react, can set us apart. How we handle ourselves and where we put our focus can show the true depths of who we are as a person. This last year for me hasn’t been an easy one and I was challenged to keep my focus on Jesus. In the midst of chaos, exhaustion, stress and ill-health..... I had to look to Jesus. That was the only way I could keep going.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Psalm 46:1-3 Everything in me wanted to give up, but I didn’t. I removed myself from the things in my life that weren’t essential and I rested in Him. I opened my heart at a time when it was hurting and I let Jesus in. I let Him poke around, stir things up and then He showed me how to deal with it. I started breathing again and I looked at what needed to be rebuilt and I got to work.

God was my refuge for recovery and my strength for rebuilding. When life hands you something that rocks you to the core, be it in business, health, family or relationships, set your focus on Jesus. Make time to breathe and time to hear His voice. Let His stillness calm your soul. Let His hands steady you and let Him carry you through. Take what is plaguing you and give it to Jesus. Write it all down, pray over it and ask Jesus to show you what steps you need to take next. Immerse yourself in the Word and in worship. I can tell you, that if you go looking for the Saviour, He won’t disappoint. He will show up and He will quiet your soul and then give you the strength to keep going. Be blessed!
