Stop sittin' and get to doin'!

I'll admit...this “doing you well” kick I’ve been on has made me go back and review some old post I wrote when I first started blogging. As I observe women I come across every day, these old post are more relevant now than ever before. If you’re in that place in your life where God is tugging you to move forward, but your fear of failing or doubt and unbelief that God will actually use you has stopped you from pursuing your dreams; I encourage you to read on.

We have spent most of our lives not being able to venture out of our boxes; you know, the pretty LITTLE gift boxes we put ourselves into 

- the ones we think will be just enough to
allow us to sit prettily on the shelf, not to be used, but to be admired! Afraid of who God has made us and what He has placed within us, because we’ve been told what we can and cannot do or say, but never given instructions on how to walk out our Kingdom assignment, how to be supportive of each other as women and how to be a “good" team player. Far too long we have lived our lives like a dog chasing his tail well below what God intended it to be. Many of us have been taught that we are to BE, DO and HAVE JUST ENOUGH…when God has clearly taught us in His Word that “He came that we might have life and that MORE ABUNDANTLY(to the FULL, until it OVERFLOWS)”John 10:10B! 

I believe wholeheartedly if we’re focused on being SUCCESSFUL at who God called US to be…EVERYTHING we put our hands to do, will be successful as well! We all can attest to the fact that we have a LONG laundry list of why we can’t do this or that. Guess what? That list will still be there – more than likely getting longer as each day goes by – while we sit back and wait. If it’s something God has asked you to do - don’t you know that He’ll show you HOW to do it…step by step! Ladies, if we DON’T do it, more than likely He’ll find someone else to carry out the assignment and we have to wait on yet another opportunity to come our way. Believe me when I say, there’s nothing worse than that "sinking feeling" you get when you see or hear of someone else doing what God told YOU to do! 

Whatever it is; that book, that witty idea, that business…there’s NO TIME like the present! Stop sittin' and get to doin! So go ahead girlfriends, take that leap of faith…you can do it! ;-))
