There is so much you still don't know about me and my testimony with God. But I am sure in the months and years to come you will see what God has done in my life because I simply cannot contain it. I have made up my mind today that not only do I want to see change happen in my life, but I desire to see change in your life. I desire for you to be set free! Sometimes I do think wow, if only I had known and acted on the Word of God but I know He is using all things for His glory.
Last night I was at a birthday party of a good friend of mine and I could not help but ask others what they define success to be or what their vision is. I heard many great answers and some didn't know at all what to say. For instance some had received their calling at an early age, while others received it in their early twenties and other still had no clue. That night I was so excited as I got the book " Grooming the Next Generation for Success" by Dani Johnson before I left for the party. And I am so impressed! One thing I made up in my mind last night as my sister drove us home was that I will not settle for a life of mediocrity but I will live a life of greatness and an extraordinary life!
I thank God for the desires He's placed in my heart. I felt a certain level of pressure that I could not explain. It was almost becoming a frustration and regret and I was consumed with a sense of urgency. Then this morning as I was listening to Joel Osteen and his message on " Sunday is Coming", I was reminded that God has my competion date of the dreams and desires He has placed in my heart to occur at the RIGHT time; the time that is best for me to paraphrase Mr. Osteen. This certainly did take the pressure off as Mr. Osteen suggested. Early this morning I read about Dani Johnson's daughter of faith and I was crying as I read about what she had to go through at such a young age, but I was even more challenged by her faith. She had seen the purpose of her trial and did not waver in her faith but decided to be the type of Christian who would praise God even in the midst of her suffering! Wow!
