As for me, I know without any doubt that my Lord called me nearly 3 years ago to my work, my incredible "ministry-business" blessing from above. And I know that He not only called me to this undertaking, but that He has also given me every "GIFT" I have ever needed so far to succeed ...
My "WHY" ~ So I'm anchored without a "Plan B" backup
My Anointing ~ For Him arranging for my friend Jim to pray over me
My Passion ~ My fuel to press forward day by day in my work pursuit
My Vision ~ So I do not perish but instead press forward toward the prize
My Plans ~ Otherwise, failure to plan would be planning to fail
My Conviction ~ That "I know that I know" so I can weather the coming storms
My Understanding ~ So I can in return teach others
My Work Ethic ~ So I do my part faithfully and honestly
My Conduct ~ So that I'm pleasing to Him
My Talents ~ So I can give back what has been given to me
My Tools ~ So that I'm properly equipped to be about doing
My Experiences ~ Simply an amazing journey so far
My Stories ~ Incredible artifacts from my journey
My Patience ~ So I can truly appreciate this journey and His blessings
My Perseverance ~ So I can stay the course, never giving in to giving up
My Encouragement ~ From my sacred memories and other's kindness
My Compassion ~ So I desire to freely give to others
My Divine Appointments ~ So exciting to see them unfold
My Humility ~ So I can learn from Him and from others
My Harvest ~ He is best at orchestrating my success
My Gratitude ~ Soooo! thankful for His awesome blessings
My Joy ~ Never dreamed before how work could be so "cool"
Please do not misunderstand what I saying. On my own, I'm not humble, compassionate, talented, etc. but though HIM,
"nothing is impossible for God." [Luke 1:37] And it is not always going to be "blue skies and clear sailing". So let's stay balanced in our hopes & thoughts as best expressed by Eugene Peterson: "
Real faith cannot be reduced to spiritual bromides and merchandised in success stories. It is refined in the fires and storms of our pain and struggles.” Therefore, let's always stay mindful to "
consider it joy whenever we face such trials." [James 1:2]
My prayer for you ... "May you experience His gracious blessings, one after another. " ~ John1:16 (artwork by my gifted "love of my life" Cathi)
