Hope deferred

Just thinking a lot about the verse Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” This scripture is really something to think I about. If you keep dreaming and dreaming for things and they never come about, you finally give up.

I wonder how many people that live out on the streets kept trying and trying and dreams kept falling through so they finally just stopped trying. They finally said, “Ok, I don’t even want a home anymore! I don’t care if I have to live in the cold, at least I won’t be expecting anything and won’t be let down again.”

That is sad and I could see some of that in myself. The battle would get so hard sometimes it was just easier not to expect anything or even ask for anything. The bad part about being that way is that you stagnate…your creativity starts dwindling, your passion about life starts dwindling.

We have to keep fighting for change and things to look forward to. Even if you go do anything just a little different than normal to keep moving forward!! Go to different places, different scenery, anything to bring about change in your life.

We can’t expect someone else to do it for us, we have to produce change ourselves. We have to keep ourselves (with God’s help) from falling into awful ruts. Some people have no problem taking great care of themselves but others have to fight to remember that they matter and are important and have dreams that are important and matter in this world.

I am so grateful to be getting some momentum in some of these things finally and moving forward!! We have to be grateful everyday for things in our life because it is easy for stinkin thinking to enter in and hold us back from moving into our destiny!!

Keep your eyes open, don’t get distracted!! Keep your love, joy and forgiveness going. Don’t get isolated!! There is a big world out there and many things that you can be so passionate about!! Leave your footprint wherever you go! You can change the atmosphere around you by just being you.

Keep moving forward👍🏼

Don’t stagnate❤️

Do the last thing God told you to do❤️

You aren’t a mistake❤️

You aren’t an accident ❤️

Keep on keeping on❤️

See you soon❤️

Realization

Hi… been a while…just came to a realization!! I was on vacay last week trying to get my book to a new place which did happen…Also, got to go up and visit with some friends that we got to spend a lot of time with in Texas last fall.

We also got to visit another church in Champaign/Urbana area…. awesome… the young man came up and spoke a prophecy over us right off the bat when the service was over…

He told us how we were grandparents to all these kids just like Heidi is in Mozambique…. woo hoo… it brought a revelation to me that America is a huge, huge mission field!! These kids we minister to are valuable and important and their lives matter!!

I got to hug on a 14 year old last night that has been through more that we can even imagine for a 14 year old… I am very honored for the ability and opportunity to do such a thing. She told me her whole story and didn’t want to leave my side all evening… America needs help!!! America needs love ❤️

Anyway, I knew there were lots of troubled people but I just got a HUGE reality check about it!! While America is sitting in our shiny buildings there are needy people crying and children having to be adults!!

Glad to be a part of anything that might make a difference!! And hope to be making more difference!!

Soooo, got the book to the editor this week…woo hoo!! But I have decided to make the title back to the original…”Shift Happens”…. a woman has a right to change her mind, right?😊

Yep… it’s kind of a eye catcher and I think it’s a good title!!

Hope you are all having a good life and being who you are created to be!! Keep fighting for it if you haven’t found it yet!! It will show up!!

Miss you all!! Sorry I haven’t been here for a bit!! Not because I don’t want to be, just staying  very focused!! I am going to have a launch team eventually and I will have a Facebook page and coach people how to be on there… I would love you all to be there!! I’ll keep you informed!!

Love to you all today!! Keep on pursuing your dreams and destiny!!! God gave you those dreams!! It’s His plan on the Earth!!

Keep on keeping on!!

He created you for purpose!!

Don’t let man minimize you or steal it!!

I’m praying for you!!

See you soon!!!❤️👍🏼😍
