Helping Women Find their Identity in Christ

Permanent Break

He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak
.

Isaiah 40:29 NIV

Yes, the time has come to take a break. A permanent break.

After thirty-four years, it’s time to search for new opportunities. To knock on doors for a worthier life.

I’ve worked hard. I’ve prospered. But now there’s nothing left for me here.

It’s time to search for new horizons. For greener pastures, different pleasures.

What now?

Only God knows. He knows the desires of my heart, and I know He will bless me with something new, something good, something to bring Him glory.

He promised to strengthen me when I’m weak, weary, and worn out.

Yes, I’ll wait for Him to strengthen me. To open the door of opportunity and my purpose to enter.

Yes, it’s time for that permanent break.

  1. I pray that wherever God leads you next, it will be a place of great joy for you! His promise to meet all our needs is a good one to hold onto when it’s time to move on to new things. Visiting from FMF#13

  2. I have had a season in my life where a permanent break was needed. I pray that God gives you direction as You follow His leading on what is next. I am stopping by from Five Minute Friday.

  3. I look to the far horizon
    when the sky has cleared,
    and like shaggy-headed bison
    it’s there I go – Onweird!
    Somewhere out there lies my fate,
    most likely really strange,
    but I will not hesitate
    to trot across the open range
    and find what lies there waiting
    for my discovery.
    There’s a future worth creating,
    and the world is gonna see
    that I have in me a surprise
    to make the Lord God roll His eyes.
