Press. Push. Pursue.

I  look around and see people filled with potential.

Their eyes light up with dreams of greatness.
Their mouth speaks of destiny.
    but they  are waiting.

Waiting for something big to happen
      that big break that will somehow launch them into the future and let them know they have arrived.

So in the meantime they do nothing.

They have not yet learned that victory comes through the journey.
God's requirement of faithfulness has not been replaced by talent or charisma. 

Victory comes through the pressing, pushing and pursuing.
Pressing towards the mark faithfully
Pushing every day past discouragements, disappointments and pain
Pursuing God and His call on your life in spite of the temptation to quit.

Even when life is hard.

It is in these choices that we prove God faithful and that we honor Him.

Thanks for the encouraging words. Lord, help me to press, push and pursue until all you have promised comes to past.

Be careful who you tell your dreams to!

I went with my son recently to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Coat at a local community college. As I sat in the dark theater and watched the young men in the production, one of the lessons in the first part of the story hit me fresh and clear. Joseph told his dream to the wrong people at the wrong time. In his naivity, he thought his brothers would rejoice with him when he shared his dreams with them. Instead, it caused their jealous to turn to hatred of him and the favor of the father on his life. Many times in my own life, I have been too quick to share what God is showing me about the future with others. The truth is not everyone is called to share your dreams. There are circumstances and life issues people deal with that get in the way of their ability to 'rejoice with those who rejoice'. Just because you are there for other people does not mean they are capable of being there for you. Wisdom teaches us to wait and be careful about our conversation and 'the...

Loving You

Today is my awesome Husband's 49th birthday!! We have been together forever! He has been with me through my very worst and is truly God's greatest gift to my life.  He LOVES when I write him poetry. Below is his birthday poem! Before I knew what love was,                                       You saw me. Before we ever held hands,                                       You knew me. My soul- Your soul  forming together So near, completely unaware…. Unaware that God had a master plan.           In shaping me, He thought of you…. He gave me eye...

A Cry for our Prodigals

  When we see those that we love wandering into the path of destruction, we want so badly to stop them. We want to grab them, shake them, wake them up. But God has given each of His children a free will. He is watching. He is interceding. He won’t leave us alone in our worry.   He offers each of us the peace of God in the middle of each mess. He knows the helplessness we feel. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the peace that passes understanding.   Holy Spirit, move today. Come and fill each parent who is suffering for their wayward child. Breath peace upon each husband pleading for a prodigal wife.  Pour in the oil for each grandma hurting for the straying grandchild.  Hold the wife worn out from crying for the lost husband.  We need you.    Your word teaches us that you bring the Prodigal home. Today, we bring our prodigals to you.  We trust You with them in the mess. Even as the father in Luke 15 allowed his son to leave, we know he wat...
