Let's Believe

It is such a simple idea right? Yet it seems to be the hardest.  Why is that?  I think it is because it so personal.  It is stepping out and letting every one know what it is that you deeply believe in your heart to do.

But then as the decision rolls in your heart and mind you start to sift through the doubts.  If you take the step and fail then everyone knows. More then that it is the deeper issue of being scared to be vulnerable. Vulnerable not with failure necessarily but with our heart.  Does our decision, our dream, that thing we want to accomplish, will it be what others think is right?   So many of us operate from a concern of being perceived a certain way so we guard ourselves and struggle with 'what do I want to do with my life'.

Believe in that small still voice that is speaking to you. Believe in that tiny nudge that is felt so strongly yet seems to be unattainable. Believe that the Holy Spirit is talking to you. Believe. That is the first decision we must start with, just Believe.

If you do not believe in yourself then believe in that voice that is speaking to you. Hold strong and let it take over your thoughts. Tell yourself out loud what the Holy Spirit is nudging in you.  Make the decision today to Believe that God has given you that voice inside to listen.

So right at this moment we must listen and believe in our decision to try because in God we can do anything! God has a purpose for you and it is speaking to you.  Let's Believe, it will make all other steps towards our  accomplishment, our heart's dream come to life.

Heart Conversations

Last Tuesday while washing dishes for like the 20th time that day I heard a whisper in my heart.  It was so strong in my spirit that I knew it was an answer to an ongoing prayer I have had all summer! I was reminded of my dream, my vision for what I see myself serving God in.  See I have not doubted what and where I am to be, just the how.  It was like an encouraging nod that I am going in the right direction towards the how.

More then what was whispered in my heart I want share the joy that I was not 'to busy' to hear.  That I reconigezed that still small voice. I know we pray, we seek and we hear but there are times when we need to  recalculate our steps a bit.  In doing so we avoid going through the motions and can find a fresh new renewal.

The new series at church is "Conversations with God". Sitting in church the first Sunday I found myself thinking, "great message on prayer, I know this and agree" then at that same moment Pastor Ross said "even if you know this and do this you should consider a fresh look at how you are praying".   So I have been putting effort in making small adjustments to my prayer time, to my conversation with God.  As I have done that I have heard God whisper in my heart through conversations with Him and those around me.

Be encouraged to tweak, to make any small adjustments or to just sit still so that you can feel renewed in your heart.  God has great things for us in our day to day so let's have an ongoing conversation with God!
