Bridges to Light

I don’t know about you, but I have always been the type of person who has to work ahead to try to keep my busy life balanced.   It put me in a place of stress and constant worry.  I’d constantly be trying to control the outcome.  I got to the point that I couldn’t even function.  My brain literally froze.  I ended up having to take time off from work, and rest. I’d let a health condition go in the process of trying to handle everything on my own.  I slept more than I have in my whole life.  In fact, I still am – Thank you, Holy Spirit.  I can finally rest after giving it all to God and allowing Him to steer my life in the path it was destined for. 

That’s not to say that we just go to sleep and let God handle everything, because He wants us to be productive and successful. I have learned to give God the captain’s seat, and He will provide the proper guidance, steering me in the direction He already has planned for me.   

God places the sun, moon and stars in the sky each day and night with such perfection.  He paints the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Everything he touches is beautiful.  He had a vision of me in his mind before he ever created me. I was one of his masterpieces, and so are you.  God didn’t give us a heart of fear or uncertainty.   He wants us to lean on Him.  You know the saying, “Let Go and Let God”?  That is exactly what I did.

Leaning on God has definitely been a trustfall.  Not because I didn’t trust God.   It was because I didn’t trust myself.  Yet, I was relying on myself for so long, that letting go of the captain’s chair was not going to be easy.  I’d spent several years of my life in fight or flight mode.  I was making it by, but I knew I wasn’t listening to that inner voice saying, “This is your captain speaking and I am in control.”

I have learned to let go and let God.  He’s a much better captain than I am.  So, I have gladly taken the co-pilot seat.  Who better to be the captain of my ship other than the one that already knows my destiny? 

Reflection – May 13th, 2025

As I read these words again, I know without a doubt… this was handwritten by God. I had fallen asleep while making notes on my phone to write this. I may have used my fingers, but it was His mind, His heart, and His Spirit that spoke.

That day, I was willing. I stepped aside and let Him speak. And tonight, I return to this message not as the woman who wrote it, but as the woman who lived it.

Letting go of the captain’s seat was the greatest act of faith I’ve ever made. And now, I see where it’s brought me—closer to Him, cradled in peace, and walking hand in hand with the love He created just for me.

God’s still the Captain. I’m still the co-pilot. And together… we’re going exactly where we were always meant to go.

All Our Love,
A & E
