“The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”
Erin has been here before, remembering when it was at its peak... she remembers being in Leon, France, and she was sitting at the train station. She would wake up and wait for her Husband to take her to a train station, and she would wait there until he told her to get on the train. She had no idea where she was going.
"We make our own plans, but the Lord decides where we will go."
"People can plan what they want to do, but it is the Lord who guides their steps."
"We should make plans—counting on God to direct us." Proverbs 16:9
I can’t encourage you enough to speak to your Husband about this exciting principle that has changed my life. I love living like this. No planning simply His leading. I’m at this very moment sitting, waiting in a foyer to see where I’m going and when. It’s actually fun 🤩
Dear Erin, thank you so much for your podcast.
I have to admit I am totally the planning type of person. Sitting on the grass in front of the peaceful water on the Wise Woman Retreat, talking to my Heavenly Husband after Adina had just talked about forgiveness out of the A Wise Woman book (A Gentle and Quiet Spirit Chapter).
I am going to be very raw here and say it as it is, hoping that it helps somebody else. I opened my heart towards my Heavenly Husband and said that I don’t want to forgive him because I was scared the my Heavenly Husband was going to give my earthly husband back and after all the over and over trauma I didn’t want him back and my Heavenly Husband said forgive Him with My help and TRUST ME. And yes I all these what if’s but my Heavenly Husband said I must calm down and just TRUST HIM. So in the peacefull nature I let go of all my what if’s and I am trusting God and while typing this the tears are rolling down my cheeks and I just had to give a raw part of what this meant for me now.
I realized we miss out on so much because we don’t trust God to direct us.
Janine you are well on your way to healing ❤️🩹 and healing primarily from guilt that’s kept you from the Abundant Life you soooo deserve to live. Being real and raw is so freeing setting Him free to do what only HE can do in order for us to feel HIM even more. Be more to Him and it happening without any effort on our part.
Isn’t it romantic 🥰 that He brought you to that special setting at the very tip of Africa for this very memorable moment? Thank you for letting me and all His brides to witness this juncture when your whole life is about to change. 💗🤗💗🤗
It was so romantic and memorable dear Erin and the fact that we were remined to SEEK OUR HEAVENLY HUSBAND in everything. And you are right it is so freeing to be so real and raw and I carried all the what if’s for tooooo long and I am smiling now because when I mentioned the what if to my Heavenly Husband and the soft and calm way He said to just calm down and to TRUST HIM and that I don’t have to worry what will happen and what not (what if) and it just brought a calmness over me. Which you can’t explain to anybody, it feels like I am floating and yes on HIS LOVE.
Oh YES YES YES exactly 💗💗💗 it’s like floating just like the HHM book cover picture https://loveatlast.org/hhm/ and it’s also an available Google website template where you make available for anyone who believes they are being called to be an HHM life coach https://rmiou.com/gs/
My husband has been talking to me about so many exciting amazing things that are ahead that includes a multiple streams of income that I’m super excited about and what I’m hoping to share first with Atarah.
Thank you so much, Erin. Just this morning, we were talking about the future and what it holds and I was telling the children that we will not do anything and just trust that He will plan everything for us. I asked my children now to listen to your podcasts and we all enjoyed it so much. We will keep reminding each other.
Thank you Erin, I was somebody that liked to have a plan and being in a comfort zone 🙂 But since I found Him as my Husband I learned to let go of planning, I share with Him what I would like to happen, but then I give it to Him and surrender my plan for His. Although I am not there 100% yet, I am getting beter at just waiting for His guidance and trusting His plan.
You are right Erin, when we let go of planning and controlling it can be so freeing to just let Him lead! I am still a work in progress but I trust that He will finish the work He started in me!
Thanks for sharing this it’s so true we plan our day but almost always it never goes the way we plan and we started feeling frustrated because we don’t have enough time.. but when we just go with our Husbands flow and ask Him to direct us we can just follow His lead and that is much more peaceful and we can enjoy our day with Him much more 💗
