I think God is trying to tell me something. It seems that whatever I do, wherever I go, and whatever I hear, I always get hit with the same thing:
“GO and do it.”“SAY it, boldly and with faith.”
“With GOD all things are POSSIBLE.”I go to church and hear a sermon on God using even the least of men, and the greatest sinners. I hear a message that stresses that we don’t have to present large and important things to God for things to happen – we present what we have and God will take it and expand it and bless it beyond our imagination. ALL things are possible with Christ. On Thursday night I went to a youth speaker evening and heard about Effectual Calling – God will never leave me or forsake me. And He CHOSE me as one of His own, not because of what I have done, but because He desires to change me and mold me into the person He desires me to be. Then I find something about going and taking up the challenge the Christ has called us to. Tonight I watch a movie [Facing the Giants, just so you know :)] and all I hear is that EVERYTHING is possible with God. NOTHING is impossible with God.
I have been a bit discouraged lately. I feel that I have taken on too many things and can’t give my all-in-all to everything anymore. And then I want to do more, but don’t know how that will ever happen. I look to the future and worry about how everything is going to work out, how I am going to get enough money to pay for school next year and pay off the debt that I owe my Dad. I worry about if I made the right decision to open the Etsy shop or start with Aloette.
But, I am now a qualified Aloette consultant. I met the deadline and sold $1.00 and a few cents more than the requirements. My deadline was Monday.
The Etsy Shop, well, that still has a long way to go. But, I have ideas and plans and I am praying that God will bless that. And I just dropped off another custom order today.
And school, well, I LOVE it. I know I am doing what is right. God has confirmed that over and over and over again.
You know what. I can do this. So can YOU!!! Our Youth Group can make a difference [fellow board members, we CAN do this!!! Pray about tomorrow and Monday nights!!!!]. Our families can make a difference. Teachers, parents, students, Opas and Omas, EVERYONE!!!!
GOD CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH YOU!!!!
What about you? Where will you start? What ideas do you have? What, big or little, do you have to serve God with? USE IT!!!
We all face giants in our lives. We all stumble and fall. We all have something that we would love to do, but don’t think we could ever do it, or make it possible.
GOD can DO IT!!! He give us the strength to stand. And to stand amazed before Him. He will not fail, and He will not leave or forsake us.
And you know what, we all have access to Him through PRAYER. Let us be a praying, trusting and dependent people. Let us put our lives in the hands of Christ and allow Him to take the lead.
How God has been calling you to serve Him? We don’t have to do this alone. We have Christ and OTHERS. Sharing with others give encouragement. Asking for prayer [I promise you, it is hard and seems weird, but do it!!!], it is a HUGE blessing!!!
Romans 8:37 – 39 – “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities not powers, not things present not things to come, nor height nor depth, not any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Praying for you ALL!!!! Have a blessed Sunday!!!
