Why? Because you have been through some things. You have endured, persevered, and sacrificed time and money for your family, your job, and your community. Being busy made you feel like you were full and fulfilled, but perhaps in reality you were silently longing to feel alive again. Why do we do that? Why do we put everyone else before our own needs? Is it because our mothers and grandmothers put everyone else first? It is time we take our lives back and realize that SELF CARE is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When God created the heavens and earth and all that is within them, on the seventh day He rested, and we are called to do that also. REST on the Sabbath. Fifty-two days a year of solid resting! I can say the Lord started dealing with me about this a year ago because I was always working. I truly had to realize we require that day of rest. We require it for our own self care and bodies, for GOD\u2019s time, and for family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we take time to replenish ourselves and have some fun again, unexpected great things start to happen. We are not so wound up, our families feel valued, and we have time to focus on what really matters. I began to recognize how easily people-pleasing can leave us feeling empty instead of fulfilled. When we focus on pleasing God, we are working as unto the Lord, as Colossians says in chapter 3. Earnestly, we work and focus on the task at hand instead of being distracted and running here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seek God and the Holy Spirit for the best plan for YOUR life. No one compares to you. Your race is yours. As Habakkuk 2:2 tells us, \u201c\u2026write the vision and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it.\u201d The Amplified Bible says this: \u201cWrite the vision and engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets so that the one who reads it will run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you running your race today, or is it dragging you along for the ride? It is your choice. Are you choosing God\u2019s way and allowing yourself to be led by the Holy Spirit? Are you listening for His guidance and direction? I have learned that when I find myself worrying about everything, I need to leave it in God\u2019s hands and let Him do His work. My work is to BELIEVE and RECEIVE, as the Bible says in Mark 11:24. What do you believe God for today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are those experiences you have survived, overcome, and made it through? How are you flourishing now in your walk with God? Perhaps you can share (in the comments) how you made it through in a way that helps someone else move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing I learned the hard way is that you do not have to keep buying program after program to gain the knowledge and understanding you are seeking to be successful. Who is the Holy Spirit telling you to learn from in leadership, in business, or in ministry? If you listen, He will tell you. Unlike me, who took them all instead of listening for the word to move forward in FAITH! Yes, I learned a lot, and it felt good to be with like-minded people. But I also needed to listen for the one who spoke to my spirit and nourished my soul and faith walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether in leadership, business, or ministry, I recommend prayerfully considering who is speaking to your spirit and whose teaching aligns with God\u2019s Word. Learn from them, and then take action. If you are clear on your purpose, commune with the Holy Spirit and grow your faith daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you waiting for? Let\u2019s GO! Let\u2019s get going for GOD! You are here for such a time as this, and YOU MATTER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you hear the BEST plan from the Holy Spirit, write it down, anchor it in Scripture, read it out loud daily, and start executing the plan. Take action as the Spirit leads, and watch for the hand of God at work in your life. We are His workmanship, and He created us for good works. Ephesians 2:10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
