Get Your Legs in Motion

1 Corinthians 9:26

So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.
027forward
Life crawling  by too slowly?  Are you waiting to move forward?  Do you maybe not feel like you have a purpose?  Are you too afraid to put your first foot forward?  These are some legitimate questions to be asking oneself when it comes to what exactly are we doing with this life we have been given.  Are we not able to move simply because we lack the motivation that catapults us into what God has next for our lives?
We all need a kick in the pants sometimes to get us going when we are stuck in same place for too long.  Maybe we have given up on a dream we had because things we not moving at the pace we desired.  Perhaps we just got lazy and did not want to put forth the effort it took to move our destiny forward.  Whatever the reasons, it is time to pick it back up, go back to the promise from God and put legs to our dreams.
I myself have been in this funk about not moving fast enough.  I want to be a published author and things are just not falling into place.  I had even stopped working on the third book because I did not see the sense in it.  After some recent prayer with a friend, she said we should always go back to the promise God gave us or the next step He said to do.  If we trust in God for all things then we need to know that He is at work on His promises to us.  Yes, hard to wrap our minds around sometimes but is true.
What if we were to miss out on the opportunity of a life time because we just decided to stop moving forward?  What if we did not wait long enough and our blessing was just around the corner?  So many things can happen in such a short time.  Blessings can come out of nowhere, like when someone paid for me to get my dentures when I had given up on how to pay for them.
I encourage you, that if you have a dream and God has shown you that it is possible to keep moving towards it.  Forget what Satan is whispering in your ear.  Don’t listen to the voices that tell you it’s impossible….if it is God then It IS possible, we just have to  believe and sometimes remind God of His promises to us.  So let’s put legs to our dreams and get out of our shells, move forward and enjoy what God has in store for us right around the corner!

All Things New

1 Peter 1:12
They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this GoodNews has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

Alrighty!  I have always promised to keep my blog real and about matters of the heart.  This one might be a little open but here it goes.  If you know me at all or are Facebook friends with me you will notice I never really openly smile.  Those who know me at work, also know that I do not open mouth smile very often.  Well, reason being my front teeth are broken and I am embarrassed to smile.  As I spent most of my marriage focused on many other things, not myself I let me go.  Now that God has turned my life into a tale of prosper and blessing, I am able to regain what I had lost.  I truly feel like a princess!

Some of you know I have been blessed with someone paying for me to get dentures.  Someone from my church donated the $5,000 it is costing to get all of the work done and tomorrow I go for the final step of the process.  As I was praying last night and thinking on all the things God has done for me, I just began to weep.  When God reached down and pulled me from my pit, I never dreamed of all the things He would begin to do in my life.  I have been blessed with Godly friends and revivals.  Prospects of a new home are just around the corner.  I am being restored physically.  I have two books waiting to be published and I know God has the provision for those right around the corner.

So many blessings I cannot count them!  I cannot pretend to say I know the answers to why God is blessing me, however, for sure it begins with faith.  When I began to truly trust in God to take care of my many needs, He started right in.  Yup, been low on finances in the last three years, yet I have not gone hungry or without a place to live or a car to drive.  I thought I was done at McDonalds  and then I was promoted.  So many different things in my life that God has just turned into blessings.  Even the fact of my husband being in jail is and act of God.

Surrendering it all is the key for me.  I just wake up in the morning, talk to God, give Him my day and watch Him work on my behalf.  Even today at work when a customer literally YELLED at me at the top of his lungs, I did not retaliate, I just pressed on knowing God had my back.  Someone in lobby even stood up for me and that was really awesome.  Six months ago I am not sure I would have handled that situation the same.  When I surrender my day to God, I just have this peace that passes all understanding and I know that whatever comes my way, God is in it!

So I might not blog for a bit, just depends on how I feel.  It is gonna take some getting used to and there might be more pain then when I just had a few teeth pulled.  Just know that I have not disappeared, I am just seeking God and keeping busy!  Be Blessed!!!
