Encouragement for the day

So, my day was anointed-I guess if you are more purposeful and focused than I, then everyday is anointed. However, for me....I am coming out of a dessert place named LoDubar in my heart and God declared me fair game today.  I am kind of excited because, I know my Father -and if He is anything, He is purposeful.
Part of my desert place relocation has been disobedience and part lost purpose. God really does have a sense of humor. The lengths He will go to to regain our attention are endless but, when He is so obvious and almost going "ha ha told you so...." It's a bit more personal.

I have known for a very long time that I am to share all that God has done to teach, refine,  restore and create in me for His glory. However, I have been cloudy as to what that looks like so, I have not  done  much to  be obedient  to that  purpose.  Really, I know that I am not  the only one he is  doing such works in (I see the inspiring miracles of His touch everyday) but, I do know I am called to "shout from the rooftops what He whispers in my ear". I think, maybe some of what I communicate can  help someone not feel as alone and encourage them to keep seeking.

So, my first very scary step was to make my blog public (I did years ago) but, only to the unknown and the few people that my very sneaky but, always supportive husband leaked the link to. So, just recently I published a link on my FB page. Oh, how anxious I was, so fearful that people would judge me or criticize me. Then I just put it in perspective....it is NOT ABOUT ME! That truth was so freeing!

There is so much truth out  there but, our biggest disease as people is...we believe the lies first. I have wasted so much time believing that I have nothing to say and that I am not worthy to share. God says, I have am worthy and calls me to share not MY story but His story in me. It changes the whole perspective when you take "you" out of it and make it His.

No matter what it is, fear can corrode our passion if we continue to be victims of the lies and waste precious time being stagnate. A dear friend passed on this quote to me "anyone can die, it takes courage to live". I believe that with all my heart, I know that we have instances of the most courageous and harrowing deaths and I can not ignore that it takes some courage to die with grace but, can't we LIVE courageous and harrowing also?

Do not let fear or lies rob you of your passion and your purpose. LIVE the life you deserve and share who you are, what you love and your dreams. We need a world full of passionate people fighting for the good things. Won't you step out and help inspire others to live harrowing and courageous lives too?
