Stop Looking In the Rear View Mirror

I had a great weekend. After my breakthrough last week I was wondering what I would be blogging next. Because I don't want to go back to the past any longer. I've defeated that battle. I'm moving past it and forward. No more looking in the rear view mirror for me. I am looking straight ahead to what God has in store. No veering off to the left or right. I want a solid path to the exciting things I've waited my entire life for.
Here's the thing. I know I will have a few road blocks here and there but I also know they can be very temporary. They are not places I want to camp out at for very long. Because let's face it. Satan would love for us to camp out each and every day at a place that distracts us from what we are called to do. He'll send us into a tailspin so that we camp out at shame, guilt and anger to just to mention a few. I need to stay focused on God. If I do that it doesn't matter what is thrown my way, I can continue onward and not make any pit(y) stops.
I was reading in my bible this morning and God took me to Exodus 14:14. It says "The Lord himself will fight for you. You won't have to lift a finger in your defense." I am going to stand on that this week. We may not be chased by an Army like Moses and the slaves of Egypt were in this scripture but we may feel trapped sometimes. Instead of giving in to any despair I will choose to stand where I am and watch the Lord rescue me whenever I need it. I will not try to do any of it on my own. Why would I want to when I have a Heavenly Father that has my back. I have the biggest and best bodyguard a woman could ask for and so do you.
Do not live your life in fear. Allow yourself to take steps forward. Please do not look in your rear view mirror today. It only causes regrets, and stops you from living in the present. And the present that you live today will have effects on the future to come. So don't you want to move on? Move towards fullness of life? And if you do have to make any pit stops along the way, make sure they are in the right places. Ones that will help with your healing, not ones that will destroy it. Have a blessed day! I know I will. Not because I'm perfect, but because I choose it!
