I am excited because I'm beginning to trust ME! How can I solely rely on others who have never done what I'm thinking about, but have an opinion as to how I might execute? In all honesty, it's not really about what others have said, it's more about the little voice that plays in my head that projects my own insecurities onto the situation. They NEVER said that I couldn't do it or won't achieve it, but that voice of #littlemissinsecure has a funny way of showing up, which makes me talk myself out of the situation, based on the idea of what someone else might say. Isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard? Just foolishness! (Afraid of a might....HA!)
You're shaking your head because you know what I'm talking about!!! You've been afraid to move because you're waiting for "all the stars to line up" or waiting to "get all your ducks in a row". Well SugarPlum....it's time to let that mess go. I'm about to share an excerpt of my sermon that I preached 3 weeks ago. Here it goes...
~We’ve
been stuck in a precarious situation because we expected someone else to get
something accomplished for us.
~We
have been caught waiting on a person to act, when we carry the responsibility
to do it ourselves.
~We
have been left on the side of the road, watching others pass us by because we
weren’t prepared to go any further.
Not prepared to write the book…waiting
on someone else
Not prepared to start that
business…waiting on someone else
Not enjoying your single life… waiting
on someone else
Not experiencing joy in your marriage…
waiting on someone else
Not applying for a new position, when
you know you hate the job… waiting on someone else
Not going back to school to finish your
degree… waiting on someone else
Sitting on the side lines complaining, & not jumping in the arena….waiting on someone else
Not ready to market your own ideas…
waiting on someone else
Someone
else to make us happy
Someone
else to bring us joy
Someone
else to help us out of our financial
situation
Someone
else to raise how kids
Someone
else to motivate us
Someone
else to cheer us to greatness
Someone
else to drop everything to tend to our
needs
Honey,
there is no “someone else”…GOD IS WAITING ON YOU!
(GOD IS WAITING ON ME)
(GOD IS WAITING ON ME)
God is so funny, because I really thought I was given that word to bless the people, but I was really preaching to myself the entire time. When I went back and listened to the sermon on Youtube, I realized that I was preaching myself into a frenzy, speaking my way into my NEXT and preparing myself to walk through the many doors that God has with MY name on it. God be praised!
I am really learning to trust God with whatever is to come next. I'm not rushing anything or trying to please anyone. I simply want to move and watch God unfold the path direction with every step that I take, without even knowing where the step is. (I'm envisioning Micheal Jackson in The Wiz, when he is traversing the yellow brick road and the cobblestone blocks light up as he steps on them.) Yeah, just like that!
The path won't light up unless YOU MOVE. The path won't light up unless I MOVE! Let me just sprinkle a little word on it.....Joshua 1:3 says "EVERY place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses". Or like Martin would say, while stomping his feet around in a circular pattern, "GET TO STEPPIN' ". (Y'all sometimes I crack myself up. Ha!)
Anyway, let's go through this season of shifting and just be FEARLESS. Your knees might be knocking as you move, but do it anyway afraid and watch God translate that into Fearlessness. Let's stay committed to the process as we advance for the Kingdom. God will get the glory and he'll just give us the opportunity to tell the story. I'm excited, aren't you?!
So get to stepping and "Walk it Out"..........God's been waiting on you!
