Interesting that today is Labor Day. It has been quite a while since I wrote in my journal. Fear, anger, perseverance, trust. All words I have been dealing with. Folks at church have been thinking I am really going through something - as if I am at my wits end...I guess in a sense - that is true. I am at my own wisdom's end! It is time out for assuming/acting as if I have it all together, cause I don't.
Merciful...
Praise and Worship have been a time of me allowing the Spirit of God to remove layers from my hardened heart. One that I did not realize still had hardened areas. The way God deals with me is that I weep when I realize just how patient, kind, and merciful God has been with me. I count it an honor to be one of those one sheep that God will come after - leaving the other 99. Who am I that You are mindful of me? (Psalm 8:4)
Change...
It is inevitable whether it be for the bad or good - change IS will happen! So what do I choose? Do I continue on the road I am on for the bad...negative...death? Or do I choose to allow the Spirit of God to transform me from the inside out? It is going to take some work. It is going to take me "girding and pulling up my boot straps"...allowing the Spirit of God to work through me...and in me!
Change starts from within! How can I positively affect an environment I am in for the positive if all I have are negative vibes? I don't know if I am finally allowing the Spirit of God to take the blinders off or what? But I am beginning to see what others have seen in me for years - untapped potential yet allowing fear to keep me stagnant. It is time out for that! Red flag on the field! God has made me for much more than that!
It is time to Step out...Step up...and Step on - in Jesus name!
If God be for me, WHO can be against me? (Romans 8:31)

- Step out on faith
- Step up to who God has called me to be
- And Step on all of those lies the enemy has told me and...
