Don’t ask me no more questions! Don’t give me no more assignments! Don’t even look my way! This is how I have been feeling lately. It’s like I woke up one day and realized that I’m so tired of putting my life on hold, because of what I feel or think someone else may feel or think about me. When God saved me from breast cancer thirty-four years ago, He did not do that so that I would operate from a place of fear. Every day that He wakes me up is another opportunity to get it right and be a blessing to people who cross my pathway. When I operate in fear the world does not get my best gift. If I allow what others feel or think to dictate my moves, then I have given them control of my destiny. The same thing is true for you and your dreams.
There are people waiting for you to show up and bring what God has placed inside you to help them reach their fullest potential in life. But you can’t do that if your device (mind, body, spirit) is cluttered with unnecessary documents (other people’s problems, pain, dysfunctions). Don’t allow anyone to stifle your flame or water down the little spark that continues to pop up. You know the moment that you start to slack off. There is something deep down in your spirit that doesn’t feel right. That’s your internal warning signal! Suddenly you catch yourself and get back in gear just as the adrenaline takes over and you feel your momentum kick in. It feels good now that unnecessary stuff has been removed from your device. You have found your safe place and is now flowing in God’s goodness as though you are watching your life on a movie screen. Slowly you feel the Lord’s breath take over and His guidance becomes ever so clear as you surrender to His voice. This familiar space feels good and life is back to some form of normalcy. Your storage device has been cleared! Go be great and create the life that God has ordained for you!
