Beyond The Limits

Dear God,

Help me to reach and press beyond the limitations of MYSELF and my own way of doing things.  Help me to break routine, habits and patterns that are not allowing me to grow and go where I need to.  Your design for me has always been for more.  I see it on the tablet of Your heart which is Your Living Word. I know these inner frustrations and turmoils that are rising up within me are only because I am sticking within my own limitations when I know that there is more.  I know that I can be more and do more.  Help me to reach beyond the limits…because on my own I am going to remain the same.  AND I WANT OUT!!!!

Sincerely,

Chrizzy! Your Daughter.

“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”
Isaiah 54:2

I woke up this morning fast, frustrated, fierce! If I am going to do anything that way, I need a way better plan than what I have and what I know I can create.  Another day passes by in a rush and we are already only ten days in! I have to do something different and stick with it.  I’m just finding myself always tired and I feel like there is just not enough time.

Posted by “Facts” on Twitter today I see–“Never be afraid to try something NEW because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already knew.”

True that!!! I don’t want to remain the same but I’m the same.  I don’t want to stay within but I am within.  I don’t want to be comfortable but I am comfortable–I need my sleep.  I need my rest.  I need my work to get done and the bills to be paid. But I need to be way more creative going 42 years in now approaching the 43rd year!!!! Come on now!

LORD –ENLARGE THE PLACE OF MY TENT –STRETCH THE CURTAINS WIDE AND DON’T HOLD BACK!  RAISE THE STAKES! LET ME LIVE THE RISK-TAKING – WATER WALKING PETER LIFESTYLE THAT YOU CALLED ME INTO!!!

I’m not willing to settle–and that is why the frustration rises!!!! Let’s go!!!
