"Preparing For The Harvest"




Have you ever thought that God has forgotten your prayer request from years ago?  Over the years I have strived to find my place.  I would always start somewhere, but find that God would used me to assist others, but it never felt like I had a home of my own.   The preparation came through me never giving up, and sharing the love of God wherever He placed me.  My understanding of ministry, and helping others has changed over the years in that I myself must be healthy, seek God personally, and believe in what God is doing in my life.  I have traveled, worked many places, but have always felt in my heart that God was developing me for a greater purpose.  I realize now that many of the challenges that I have faced God has used to develop and mature me.  This month God has moved in a remarkable way through me interacting with Pastor Denise Minyard of Spiritual Awakening Ministries.  She has offered me the opportunity to partake in her ministry as Pastor.  It comes with great responsibility, but the blessing of being able to share the love of God on a greater platform has touched my heart.  My heart and desire is that the people are able to discover the love of God.  If I can play a small part in equipping people, and building people up in God it would be an honor and privilege.  One thing I have realized today is that God will take the mess, teach us through it, and us it to reveal to us His love, and divinity.  My prayer today is that when people interact with me that they see the love of God shinning through.

"Climbing The Mountain Of Success"

Where does the struggle comes when striving to achieve any goal in life?  The struggle is what is in the heart -vs- what's in your head.  The heart tells us to move forward, but our head wants to stay where we are because of what's in our head.  When I look at my personal life today I believe in my heart that God's calling me to continue moving forward with the blueprint God has placed in my heart, but my head at times is filled with discomfort, and fears.  Relationships, business deals, obtaining new clients, dealing with finances, and this is to name a few can present some challenges.  How have I managed to continue to move forward - it's faith.  One of the greatest revelations that I have discovered is that if I want to go to new places, or reach my goals I have to put my faith in God.  Where my faith lies determines how I will deal with the inward battlees that goes on inside of me daily.  God at times does not give me all the details of where He is taking me.  He gives me what is needed for only today.  It has taugh me that I don't need to worry myself with tomarrow, but just work in faith with what goes has given me today.  Climbing the mountain at times can be painful, tiresome, and frustrating, but I am finding that if I place my faith in God I can make it just for today.

"The Next Great Bargain"

All my life I've wanted to discover myself, find my passion, and that special place.  It has been a journey of constant determination, uphill battles, and times of exuberance.  2013 is in full swing, and I am believing God for some great things this year.  I have taken the time to write down my goals for the year, and have to make a commitment within my heart that whatever comes my way that I have to be willing to trust God through, and pay my dues.  I have learned, and continue to learn that you can't get everything at a bargain price in life.  If I want a successful business, and a healthier life I must be willing to trust God, and realize that all the shortcuts lead nowhere.  No bargain deals for success, and a healthier life.  I think one of the greatest mistakes that I have made is in life is substituting things in life that I thought would bring me joy, peace, love, or success only to discover that I settled for a cheap imitation.  If I want love I must be willing to love.  If I want joy I must become joyful.  If I want peace I have to have peace myself.  So many times I have wanted something that I haven't been willing to sacrifice myself.  Today I realize that it doesn't work that way.  I love deals, and bargains, but God wants trust, and commitment.  2013 here we go.  The motto for this year is "Reaching New Heights"
