New and Greater Things

     What do you aspire to do in life, is there anything or things that you want and wanted to do but have not found the time or money to do those things you have envisioned for yourself?  Perhaps you don't know how to begin or think that people will tell you that is impossible or you are not qualified to do the very thing you desire do. Ask yourself what's holding me back or stopping me from what it is that I have always wanted to do.

     It's time for you and I to re-evaluate what and who we have around us.  Are the people and things around us encouragers, motivators, influencers, or haters?  Once you become conscious of your surroundings you will discover why it is you are not doing what you have been purposed to do in life.  When you have pinned pointed what it is that's holding you down you will be ready to receive new and greater things to get you to where you want to be.

     For the past 4 years I have always wanted to open a Christian Store. I had the vision but didn't write it down until a year later.  When I did I write it down I wasn't serious about it. I let people talk me out of it and put the vision on the back burner.  I began to become consumed with helping others and trying to encourage them to do what it was that they were going through and not realizing that I was neglecting what I wanted to do for myself.  If we are not careful we can easily get wrapped up into other people's affairs and  start to believing that this is what you were called to do which is help others.

     We all have a purpose in life. Not only do we all have a purpose, we have a destination. You and I are not on this earth to be big dreamers and wishers, we are given the authority and power to go after what it is in life we desire.  I don't know about you but I want all that I can ever imagine or think about having.  The biggest person that can get in the way of your dreams is YOU.  I made up in my mind that I'm going to start looking after me.  No longer am I going to get wrapped up in what someone else is doing it's time for me to encourage myself and start listening to that still voice asking me when are you going to "do you"?

     I'm proud to share with you that I have rewritten my vision, I made it plain and waited on it.  Although, it tarried in due season it did come to past.  Once we make up in our minds that we will be obedient and stop listening to what others are telling us what we can and cannot do we can accomplish anything.  I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur but I didn't believe that it would happen.  I've had this voice telling me that you have big dreams but you don't know how to get there.  When I put that voice to rest once and for all then did I begin to experience doors opening up for me.  Wake up those dreams that are lying dormant it's time for "New and Greater Things" and it's yours for the taken.  God Bless You All...

Scripture:  For the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it shall speak, and
                  not lie: though it tarry, wait for it: because it will surely come, it will not
                 tarry.  (Habakkuk 2:3) KJV
