Step Back and Sit Down!

My wife has been worried about when I would cook us some of those delicious fluffy pancakes. She tried to take matters in her own hands in cooking them herself. They turned out okay but she still wasn't satisfied. She keep trying but could not cook them the way I usually cook them. I would try to step in but she wanted to do them on her own because some mornings, that's just want she wanted at the time. So I would step back and wait for her to finally give up before I stepped in. It wasn't only till she let it go that I decided to cook some of those thick fluffy pancakes for her birthday. I cooked so much that there was left overs for the next day. She was happy that I finally came through even though I knew I would cook them for her birthday.

God is awesome! He will always come through! Sometimes God has to step back and sit down and wait for you to stop doing and trusting in other people and things before He steps in. He realizes that you will not be thankful nor will you give Him the praise. So when you finally give up and step back and take a seat, God will stand up and say, "Now let me show you how much I love you!" If you are struggling with something or someone, just Step back and Take A Seat and Let God just work it out for you!

I DREAM

When pastors preach, When professors teach, When speakers speak, I dream! I dream! I dream about how He could change the world through the voice I speak. Through the windows I see, I breathe, I dream! Visions become overwhelming. And I black out into this perfect me that God wants me to be. But I don't believe I can.

I mean, I want to but they may laugh. They may joke. They may say I'm not so but I dream! I get nervous when it's my time. Birds in my gut but my rib cage is cut. Afraid of mindset fear that I could never be what this dream ask of me! I compare myself to the greats! I get weary of my successors. How can run with the dinosaurs when I was only born an ant.

I dream that I can be great! I dream that I can inspire! I dream that I can bring smiles and laughter but I worry and drown myself in fear! The fear that I created that turns me away from purpose! That turns me away from His voice because I've taught it to embrace fear instead of embracing faith!

I dream!

I dream that greatness is upon me not because of who I am nor my title but because of His Resume! White can be orange and grass can be bread and ants can be dinosaurs. All because of the thought of who He is!

I dream.

I dream I can be the best Speaker, dancer, nurse, photographer, social worker, dad, lawyer, instructor, teacher, spouse, leader, or worshiper! Why God do you give me these big ideas and missions? Why do you stress the impossibilities? I ask God why...

"I sat on my thrown knowing what had to be done. It was within me to do and apart of me to fulfill. I don't know the meaning of fear and failure isn't apart of my vocabulary. Don't Mistake Fear for Pain because pain was before me! Risk is what I took and faith is what I used! If you want to really know what you ask then stop your dreaming, for you have dreamt a great deal and start loving! After you do that, then turn your love into action! I'm only tell you what is true because, I Dream!"

A New Journey Begins

Today is the New Year and it's time to let go of the past! 2012 was a productive year but it also had some bad memories that come along with it! I know it's hard to forgive and let go of the past but you must in order to move forward. When bad things happen or people do you wrong it's hard channel that energy into a positive force. Sometimes your soul feels dark and lonely and the easiest thing to do is to quit on life. Removing yourself from life will only make you regret your decisions when you awake.

Let go of the people who did you wrong and forgive them for their mistakes. Let go of the people who didn't support you. Let go of the spouse that didn't meet your expectations. Let go of the child who stressed you out. Let go of that boss who does not care. Let go of worrying about bills. Let go of the stress in your life! Let Go of 2012 and forgive so that YOU can be productive in 2013. Don't carry new baggage into this year. Let it GO!

It's time to start on a new Journey! We all have dreams and Ideas and this is the year to stop talking about them, and start taking action. It's time for you to get your gear together and start your new journey. I don't care how cold it gets or how long it takes, you need to get up off you bottom and Start something. Start that dream! Start that Idea! Follow you Heart! It's time for you to start YOUR JOURNEY! You may not know how long it will take nor will you see the end. But the only thing you need to know is that God sees the end. If your on God's path, He will Get you there!

Let Go of the past so you can move on with the Future. Make the rest of your life, The Best of your Life!
