“Some days I am a Princess; some days I am a Warrior (choose wisely)” – my favorite coffee mug
Our life is full of choices!! On average an adult makes 35,000 conscious decisions a day. And my latest choice is radically life-changing. I have chosen to follow the dreams of my heart and walk with God to encounter His people. I have taken another step in my journey of becoming a powerful person with God.
I was strongly encouraged the other night by a live teaching I attended via the internet (isn’t that cool? That we can reach each other in different parts of the world in seconds so it feels like we are a touch away? I love it!). It was all about becoming a powerful person in a demanding world. I realized that a powerful life is what God is calling me to.
Powerful people are powerful because they have discovered the unique calling and heart that they have and are living fully from it. It is only by becoming fully alive in who God created you to be that you can influence the world. And the only way you can become fully alive is by making the choices every day that bring you closer in relationship with Him.
What choice have you made? Have you chosen to be the best YOU you can be today? Because that is all that He is asking of us.
I still have 6 months of choosing to be the best me in Tallahassee before I launch into this new season. I know that my choices during this time of transition are going to be key. I will be spending 11 months visiting 11 countries across the globe to share the love of God. There will be times when it is easy and I will be overflowing with the grace, mercy and comfort of the Holy Spirit. And there will be times when it is all I can do to cry out to Him. There will be times when the people will be receptive and joyful and there will be times when my heart is broken. I can already see how God has prepared and is preparing my heart for the journey.
So this is my choice. God brought me to a crossroad and I chose to step out and follow Him to the ends of the earth. Backpacking through 11 countries in 11 months! I am rejoicing! I am excited! And yes, I realize that this journey is going to have its struggles and dark moments but through it all God will be with me and I will grow. I will grow in Him and in the Power of the Holy Spirit!
