Abram and Devine Appointments
Today we heard about Abram in church. God said GO and he did. He didn’t say what would happen, or even where they were going, he just said go and Abram obeyed.
Oh God how I wish I had faith like that… or do I? I have gone so much… Abram got stopped on his journey, it took him a while… He lied and lingered where he shouldn’t have. He wasn’t perfect.
God wants us to aim for perfection, but he does NOT expect us to be perfect. He desires it, but does not expect it. He remembers we are only dust. So why oh why do we expect the same for ourselves?
Because sometimes the devil knows our weaknesses. He knows what buttons to push and he keeps on pushing them. Of course I don’t want to give him too much credit, because I let him.
Oh, and God sets appointments for me. Apparently the one I set was not meant to be. I was supposed to meet a friend after church. Couldn’t find her. I did find that I had 3 very dramatic life-altering conversations. The type that things change after our talk. Mostly God needed me to inspire, but also to be inspired. “You know what you are doing,” He says, like a dad reassuring me while I try riding my bike without training wheels. “Even if you lose your balance, I am right here.”
3. One, two, three. I spoke to them. God spoke to me.
One, don’t lose faith. Your finances will work out. Remember how I am going to be enough for you?
Two, you inspire people and love people, and you do it well. S, when you take the time to actually build a relationship with someone you can really affect them.
Three, you are not alone. Others battle depression the way you do. Band together, for there is strength in numbers. There are others who feel lonely who need community the way that you do. Hold fast, help is on the way. Love and inspiration will lead to some awesome collaboration.
Oh, not to mention that you help to inspire leaders. That’s like a bonus nugget. You are becoming a connector you know. You are getting it.
Oh, and S, “ITS ALL HAPPENING!”
Don’t forget you are called….
Today the Holy Spirit called a meeting.
My friend and mentor called together wonderful women and cast vision. Vision.
All of the sudden, she was speaking and it hit me. How could I be so blind? Did I forget the Endure House? Did I forget that I was called?
Not only am I called for this, because I am to only be the catalyst for these houses, but I will speak… I will teach… I will share the hope of the Lord with those who have no hope.
God you have called me here, with these women. You keep pursuing me. Don’t ever give up, don’t ever let me forget.
I need to share some scripture here, as a way to document it: Revelations 3: to the church in Philadelphia, Psalm 66, Genesis 50:20, Numbers 3o, Isaiah 61, Ester: for such a time as this, and the JOY of the Lord is my strength!
I know, you told me how you put me through things lord so that I may use my experience to help others.
God all I want is to Glorify your name! All I want is to serve you my God. All I want is to share your hope with the hopeless.
Just you wait until you see, you of little faith. Keep your eyes on the Lord and there is no limit to where you will go. No limit.
