In The Blink Of An Eye

My friend, Kim's, super giant tea
roses. Oh so sweet!

Sometimes…when you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing…and you have been praying for a long time for direction…and you keep taking steps toward your dreams…and you have waited in hope for a Word from God…He will speak. In a moment. In a secret. In a whisper. Through a friend. An angel. Through a teacher. A dream. A thought. He will do it. He promises to fulfill His purpose for your life.

What you want in life - He wants even more. He put your desires in you. He gave you your imagination. Don’t stop dreaming. Declare His goodness. Remember His promises. And all of a sudden…in the blink of an eye…overnight…everything will come into focus. Permission is granted. And you are on your way!

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:4-5

Your Biggest Cheerleader!

When things seem awry; when dreams seem to fail; when relationships go south; when hope seems distant; grab ahold of this truth: God is good. An adventure isn't an adventure without a problem to overcome. Risk is required. God is your champion and biggest cheerleader. You think you don't have enough faith? That's okay because He has faith in you. Don't give up. You will prevail. And things will turn out better than you think. If that doesn't seem possible...then change the way you think.
"Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you!" (Ephesians 3:20-21, The Passion Translation)

"God made a dream and wrapped your body around it!" - Lou Engle

Faith = Empowerment!

This little cosmos has faith it
can still bloom in winter!

Rather than empowering the devil by believing his lies that make us fearful and anxious...let's determine to instead have hope, faith, and trust in our good God whose power far exceeds anything the puny enemy can wield.

Today - we tell fear to go and we intentionally, with faith, go after all that is in our heart to be and to do! Be empowered!

And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who truly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 - The Passion Translation)

2017 - A Year of Breakthrough and Promotion

Seven years ago, a woman I respect told me she felt I was on "the brink of breakthrough" and "the precipice of promotion." I took this as an inspired word -  one I should pay attention to. Years have passed, yet I believe that word has yet to happen in my life. I have a feeling 2017 will significantly activate this same word for me and for you.

We are created for purpose. We have a destiny. We are uniquely designed to do what has been placed in our hearts to do. We have passion to fuel it and God promises there will be provision to accomplish what He has asked of us.

I declare for me and for you that this is our year of breakthrough and promotion. As we enjoy His presence, listen for His voice, and are open to possibilities, we can joyfully anticipate new adventures with our good God. Let it be!

Photosyntheisis is a big word for what your Big God has done to make a beautiful world habitable and regenerating – a place for His favorite creation – you – to find health, peace, and oxygen to breathe. How thankful I am for this planet. 

Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.

Moving Forward!

It’s time to finish the task at hand so you can begin the project of your passion and your purpose. 

See Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this; that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Chris Jesus.
