God recently blessed my family with a beautiful new home for which we are very grateful. On the way home the other day I glanced through the rear view mirror and saw a vehicle from a business I used to work at several years ago. One of my responsibilities was to drive this HUGE vehicle, which I didn't particularly like to do because I'm a very small woman. However, what could I do? Duty called and I answered. Plus the job was easy and my family needed the additional salary, even though it wasn't that much.
God recently blessed my family with a beautiful new home for which we are very grateful. On the way home the other day I glanced through the rear view mirror and saw a vehicle from a business I used to work at several years ago. One of my responsibilities was to drive this HUGE vehicle, which I didn't particularly like to do because I'm a very small woman. However, what could I do? Duty called and I answered. Plus the job was easy and my family needed the additional salary, even though it wasn't that much.
As I peered through the rear view mirror the Lord began to speak, "You see that vehicle? You would still be driving that vehicle and wouldn't be where you are today if you hadn't overcome your fears and moved out in faith."
As I thought about the vehicle in my rear view mirror I began to think about how many people miss opportunities to advance and possess their next level of blessing. They settle for where they're at or become paralyzed by fear and don't move out in faith.
Although I was grateful to have my old job, at times I became so frustrated, because I knew I was capable of so much more. It was during those times of frustration that the Holy Spirit started nudging me to face my fears and inhibitions by stepping out in faith towards my dreams. As a response to the nudges, I enrolled in college to train for what I really wanted to do, and then eventually started my businesses and moved out in ministry too.
Do you know it's so easy to tolerate the frustrations of life, succumb to complacency, and settle for what's easy when fear is staring you in the face? Looking back at my experience, I want to encourage you take what may seem to be a hard step of faith and move towards your goals for every area of your life. For the remainder of 2013, and as you plan ahead for 2014, I challenge you to live life fearlessly and without any regrets. In doing so, as you look through the "rear view mirror of your life" you'll be able to see where you've come from and be encouraged to keep reaching for each new level God has in store for you in your life, ministry or business. God is calling you to occupy the new territory He has prepared for you. Can you hear Him calling? Keep moving forward by the leading of the Holy Spirit. I did it and so can you!

In spite of being childless and with no childrearing moments to celebrate, Elisabeth was faithful in her duty towards God. Both she and Zacharias, although well stricken, were well situated for God to breathe upon their lives and upon their bodies. God was going to do a new thing for this faithful, righteous, and blameless couple. God was about to shine forth his favor upon this unsuspecting couple, and grant unto them a dream come true, which they thought, was a dream deferred, and God can do the same for you!

Let me first say that it's your time and it's your turn! This is the season of the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:31), yielding forth fire, glory, greater, increase, acceleration, etc. However, it's not short of warfare… and we thank God for all of it! I say that because maybe you're like me in that this year [has yielded forth some] unexpected things of life that you had no control over. From losing my job; to my husband's health issues; to personal family matters; so far, this year has been real. And yet...read more inside...
