Jumping

Its hard to believe January, 2017 is quickly coming to an end. The start of a new year that will be over in the blink of an eye, as God permits. What will your testimony be? I learned long ago not to make resolutions because when I don't achieve them, feelings of failure can be so overwhelming. So, 2017 brings a new approach. The theme for this year appears to be transitioning; taking a risk, making a change, leaping or "Jumping" into your future; into the unknown of God's destiny for you. As a Christian, I view this as following the direction of the Holy Spirit. God has deposited in each of us gifts and talents yet it is up to us to wait, listen, prepare, and move when its time. As my Pastor shared with our congregation, the windows of opportunity are open for a short period of time. When they close, the opportunity closes with them. Now is my time to move. Challenges at every hand have caused me to stop, detour, wait. Now I see it as God's Divine intervention. God has been preparing me for my destiny. When you're in a state of preparation, its always best to move with caution and not heed to your own limited understanding. As you become more prepared, your vision is more focused, your energies are in alignment with your passions, and you find yourself in the starting block. On your mark, get set, GO! Run with me.
