Get Uncomfortable

Many times we want to go through life and everyone wants to live a "comfortable" life.  We want to have a job that we are "comfortable" with, friends that we are "comfortable" enough to be ourselves with. We want our beds, our clothes, and sometimes even our destiny and call in life to be comfortable.  Well I have been that person most of my life.  I went to school but did not follow my passion because I needed to have a job that secure so I would be....(you got it) comfortable. Well what I am learning, through this process called life, is that sometimes, life isn't meant for us to be comfortable.  We have to learn to listen to that still voice(the good one, not the bad one) that says to try something new, to follow a dream, to take a risk.  Choosing to go down this road will probably be uncomfortable. We may fall and we may fall hard but I am a believer that when God gives us dreams and visions, and we put his SUPER with our NATURAL that he can give us the avenues and the proper directions to make those dreams come true and the visions that we may only see in our dreams, he will allow us to one day see them with our natural eyes, but first we have to get UNCOMFORTABLE.
I was sitting the other day realizing that I have gotten into "the rut". On Monday I feel like " Uggggg its Monday" and then Wednesday it's "Oooh only 2 more days til Friday". On Friday "TGIF".  Saturday, Sunday, then back to Monday.  IDK about you, but I'm tired of just existing through this life of mine. I want to live and live out loud.  If you don't like your job and it isn't fulfilling, send out those resumes, network until you get the job in your field that you want.  We can't continue to allow ourselves to stay stagnant.  (Not to get churchy but hey it's kinda who I am) When we think about how uncomfortable Christ was when he died on the cross we have to remember her did that for us.  No one could see with their natural eye how anyone could take such a beating as he did would ever be able to live again.  But it happened.  So if we just trust God (even just a little bit), and we move do something, take a step.  Write the song, apply for the job, start that business. What are you waiting for? This weekend I started writing my one woman show that has been on my heart for a few years now. (I am pretty proud of myself for that.  Sometimes we do have to take baby steps but goodness gracious, TAKE THE STEP! The way I see it, there are things that I have to accomplish and things God has called me to do.  I have no choice but to get uncomfortable and jump.  Even if I fall... at least I moved.

Weather Report

As I looked at my "Timehop" I saw a post I  wrote a year ago. The post was written as I watched the news, specifically the weather. It made me think, how many of us plan our day, waredrobe, etc around what the weatherman "predicts"? He says "a chance of rain" we take our umbrella. He says, "1-3 inches of snow" we wear boots. Even if when we look outside and there is NO sign of what the weatherman has predicted, we believe and carry out our day accordingly. What if we had the same faith in God, his promises and his word as we do the weatherman. Would we believe that "by his stripes we are healed" even when the dr report says differently? Will we believe that when we're in trouble "God will part the heavens and come down and grab hold of us" when we are in trouble regardless if there APPEARS to be no way out? Will we believe? When we look at our situations, bills, finances, life, and what we see doesn't match what God ha

Today I Pray

Today I pray against the spiriting depression! I pray that fir every negative thought, God replaces them with 5 positive, building, encouraging thoughts. I pray that when the spirit of loneliness creeps up, you feel Gods spirit of love. I pray that when the spirit of defeat creeps in, God overwhelms you with the spirit and the fighting warrior! I pray that when you feel like no one loves or appreciates you, god reminds you that I do. Sometime we may not get the love appreciation as WE would like but if we take THAT moment to think about how God feels we we don't love and appreciate him, our worries don't seem that significant.

Work It

Do the best that you can with what you've got. It may be a little, may be a lot. Regardless of the measure, we are all blessed with SOMETHING. The key is not to worry about what someone else has. If we constantly measure ourselves to others we may feel that we always fall short. When really we only know what people allow us to know. For instance, you may see a woman that is beautiful, with a georgeous husband, big house, expensive car. That same woman may have tons of weave, makeup covering up bruises from being abused from her hunk of a man. The point, live out YOUR destiny not someone else's. Be tue to God, yourself and those that love you. Seek and use he gifts and talents God gave YOU! Follow YOUR dreams and reach YOUR goals! What are YOU working with? Work it!
