It's OK to Try...


So I just had an idea. What if we were to strive to do what we love to do and it works. Like what I mean by “and it works” is, you know when you have a super creative idea and you are so stoked about it and you’re like this is amazing… then that second thought comes in or you tell someone about it and you think, nah that’s not going to work because it’s what… IMPOSSIBLE.

That dream is too hard for me to accomplish. I don’t have enough resources to get this started. Who am I to do this? I ain’t nobody. I don’t know the right people. Umm, you don’t know my track record. Yea, sounds like a good idea, but I always have good ideas, I never follow through with them… My oh my, the list goes on of the negative thoughts we think about ourselves.

I heard not too long ago, that what if the thought to build an airplane produce the light bulb or the World Wide Web was never tried, where would we be? Like think about Moses. There wasn’t rain before the great flood, so why in the world was he building an ark?? It started with a thought and look where it got him and his family and the animals, two by two.

Every thought is not going to be practical, rational, logical or even doable (if this is a word) when we first get the download. When we take that thought back to God with a heart that says, Lord I know this is not something I thought of on my own, and it’s too big for me, so I know that you had to have something or everything to do with it… So how can I be of service to you?

Then sometimes, and this is most times, that we have to just walk out what He showed us. This is called operating by faith. When operating by faith, yes you are waiting to get instruction, but then too you are also to work at what you can do. At least until the next piece of instruction comes, you’ll be ready and not lagging behind, saying “hold up real quick, let me finish this piece”.

I’m really preaching to myself with these words I type because this is me alllll day. I am such a big procrastinator it’s not funny. I just wondered though, what if we were to actually act out on that CRAZY thought we had. Then even more, what if that CRAZY thought turned out to be something even greater than we ever imagined… you just made history!!!

One of my favorite scriptures I used to read often was Joshua 1:9… Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Although the journey will have bumps and bruises, long waiting periods, and all that good stuff we usually don’t tend to like, I think it’s worth giving it a try. You never know what great things are in store.

Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Matthew 9:37

You Can't Stop...

Last night at WNBS I just began to write this message below. Although I know this word was for me, I wanted to share it with you also, just in case you needed to hear it also… …Somewhere you have gotten tired or have grown weary with the gift God has given you. I need you to ask God to renew your strength and to revive your spirit. The gift that lies within you is not for you, but for others. You have been trusted with this gift. You have been equipped with this gift. You hold something that someone needs. I know that you are tired. I know that you feel misused, often abused and at times unappreciated. I know that you feel that you can’t give anymore of you. I know that you feel like “God, how can I give out when I am in need”? Please know that as you give, He will give to you. As you bless His house, automatically, He will bless your house. Remember that what He has given you, He knows just how much you can bare before it runs low on fuel. It’s funny that the gifts we are bless...

Work That Thing...

So, I'm sitting listening to a Youtube video on Confidence and the words below just came pouring out. I have a gift of Encouragement. I know this because this is the thing that I try to give others. Also, this is the thing that I desire most of others. So I go above and beyond to encourage the next person, no matter who they are. I just want them to feel better, because I know what it feels like to not feel like you have the ability live up to your potential. I want you to know that you can anything that you put your mind to do. There is nothing that can stop you from being you, not even you. The only thing that is standing in your way, is one: your view of yourself, and two: that belief of the word that has been spoken over your life. This is not a word that you might be able to hear verbally, but it may be a word that comes as a desire deep within you, that you are unable to shake. No matter, where you try to go. No matter how hard you try to kill the thought. No matter...

Intervention

Intervention...   I am reminded of the movie Frankie and Alice. I said that I was going to go back and watch that movie. Because Frankie has a personality disorder. Frankie had Alice, Frankie (herself) and Genius to deal with. Frankie was trying to cope with life the best way that she knew how to do so. In her regular self, Frankie was an exotic dancer and did things that comes with that lifestyle. Alice was a person Frankie had tucked away from her past and it was almost like she didn’t exist. Alice was determined to make Frankie pay for what she had done to her at such a young age. Frankie knew the events had taken place but back in that time and even still in her present time, there were many things that were left unsaid. So Frankie accepted her reality but never let the memories go. This was a place she would visit every so often but instead of her prompting the memories the memories would be triggered by a song, vision, an event or person that closely resembled anyth...
