Pick up: Its JESUS!

WHAT IS GOD CALLING YOU TO DO TODAY? WHAT HAS HE PLACED IN YOUR SPIRIT? WHAT HAS HE SHOWN & TOLD YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING? Those are questions I often have to ask myself, and truthfully speaking, I already KNOW the answers. God has placed so many life-changing visions in my spirit, not only for myself but for others as well, and I have yet to completely surrender all & avail myself to what he's shown me. Fear, laziness, procrastination, and more are some of the reasons....but the MAIN reason that is stopping me from progressing further is.......... "ME".

Does this sound familiar? Ladies, we MUST answer the call God has on our lives. I know it may sound difficult or "too much", but if God said it, then that should SETTLE IT! His plans for our lives are much bigger than we could ever fathom, and I truly believe that is one reason why many of us are afraid to move forward because we feel overwhelmed by what he's showing us. We know we can, but we don't. We know we should, but we won't! God says, "For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). THAT'S THE WORD and if he said that "he" knows what's best, then that ought to make us run, jump, and hop on the calls he has placed on our lives.

Don't let money, lack of resources, skills, education, the opinions & criticisms of others, or even your current state of mind prevent you from leaping into your destiny. God will have it to where education will never be a factor & you'll be doing & making more than the person who has 3 degrees and 10+ years of experience. God is not a God of confusion or fear. FEAR is- False Evidence Appearing Real. If we continue to allow fear to stop us, then we will never live! God knows what's best, and you can rest assured that if he has shown or told you to do something, then there is treasure. His ways are not our ways and he believes in & thinks so highly of you that he specifically gave YOU the call and no one else. No, it won't come easy & yes, you may even feel like giving up, BUT if you can just be obedient, practice patience, & continue trusting him, then it will ALL be worthwhile!

There is too much greatness inside of you to remain silent. You have something to contribute to the world that others do not, so use that to change lives. We can't be selfish & only think of self due to being afraid of our own strength! Someone is counting on YOU to take a step of faith & accomplish your goals. Remember, its NOT about us!!!!! Someone may be saved, healed, empowers/encouraged to keep going on just by your obedience {sound familiar? That's our mission here, lol! :-) } So go ahead, start that non-profit organization, start that mentoring program for young girls, start that shelter for battered women & children, go back to school to get your degree, finish that GED, start that business, forgive those that hurt you, release the pain & anger, start that ministry......and whatever you do, just trust God & ANSWER THE CALL! ---Shenina
