I gotta tell ya... One of the things I'm contending for right now is building the business/ministry/career that God birthed in my spirit before I was even old enough to consider my life's direction. It's a battle, I've admittedly forfeited numerous times over the years, because I didn't know what I was doing - I was terrified of being rejected - and I had no one willing to help me go any farther than they thought I should... Funny how people think they KNOW the station you are capable of holding in life and funnier still it's nearly always somewhere beneath the station they have perceived for themselves. Watch out for these unwitting dream thieves!
Anyhow, I really DON'T know what I'm doing... Seriously! The things in my heart and my head, that I know God wants to do through my life are so far beyond my ability to do on my own and I NEED the wisdom of God. The last part of that verse really speaks to me... the phrase: "keeping all your options open." I love how The Message Bible phrases that! You see, I am SO good at keeping my options open! Are you? I mean, for real... so, if this doesn't exactly work out, I can always do this... and then I know good and well that no other option is acceptable, but fear caused me to leave it open and then when nothing works out, my disappointment starts to build and if there's no shift, it becomes more of a lifestyle and then bitterness moves in and one day I look in the mirror and I've become a cynic! Sound familiar?
I am at a point in my life where other "options" are no longer an option. I'm going to deliver this dream no matter how many hours of labor it requires! Not only that, but I am not going to be anesthetized by distractions and things that remove me from the process. I can pretty much ensure it's going to be a messy process... it will require me to push past some stuff... but, in the end - I am going to deliver this dream - I don't have any other option open... What about you? Are you out of options? Someone once said: "The only way to see the hand of God is to eliminate the alternative." I can tell you that has been my story... some of the biggest moments of my life have been when there was no other way, But God... It's dangerous and requires that you take risks the world and much of the church may even say are foolish, however... I personally am out of options, so here I go... Saying all the way - "God, I have no idea what I'm doing! Please help!" And I trust Him to help me... Come on - what's stirring in your heart that seems ridiculous that you could ever accomplish it? Are you out of options? I'd love to hear! We can do this together... There's something powerful in accountability - that is... Giving an account for your Ability! :) God's got more in store for us than our wildest imagination could ever conceive and I believe with all my heart it's time to Do IT! Come on - Nothing Missing! Nothing Broken! Let's do this!!! And if you care to join me, would you mind leaving a comment below, so I can pray for you? I believe THIS is the moment - step out of the boat and do something EXTRAORDINARY with this moment we're here on our tiny little planet! Ready... Set...
