Do you ever wonder why things are the way they are? Why all the things that are going on in your life are going on in your life? Sometimes it can be hard to cope, like all of the inner-most things you thought you possessed, all the things you were great at, all the things you could do better then anyone else and all the things that you thought made you who you were turn out to not feel substantial anymore. It's knowing you were meant to do this really great thing, this really big thing, this really astounding, life-changing, earth-shattering thing.........that you were meant to be somebody.......and instead you find yourself spending your days listening to people complain about the rotation of their contact lenses.
I said all that to say this, though you were meant to be somebody, though you were meant to change the world, though you were meant to do something so phenomenal that at times it doesn't seem plausible and you just have no idea how your going to get from point A to point B before the turn of the century, MAY I remind you that YOU don't have to figure anything out! That you serve a God that has all the plans of your destiny etched on the palm of his hand and he has no intention of blotting them out. You MUST remember that though you feel like the things that were spoken over your life are now a distant memory that feels like it could have been something you dreamed are waiting for you, they are not waiting for your plan or your agenda or even your idea of what you think things are suppose to look like, but your destiny is waiting for you to TRUST and have FAITH in the Creator, in the one true God that took one thought, YOU, and made it into a beautiful, tangible being such as yourself, now you honestly cannot tell me that the Creator of the whole universe would decide to speak you into existence and not have a destiny planned out for your life!
It all sounds so silly when you take the time to really examine your life and what you are doing and who you know you were meant to be. Yes, yes it may seem so futile and pointless what you are doing right now but I promise you He does not have you here, in this place, at this moment, in this fragment of time, doing what your doing for nothing. There is a reason, He is either helping you and teaching you something or He is using you to help and teach someone else something...wether you find out which one, or have the eyes to see which one... is entirely up to you.
Some of you may be saying "but I've been here forever! I have been in the same place in my life for so looonnnng!" And I would say to you, I KNOW, I have been there, I am currently there and I know exactly what it feels like to open a new door only to have it slammed in your face and throw you 10 steps back from where you were. It is a miserable feeling that gives little hope and can stoop you into a depressive, "what's the point" kind of state, but YOU MUST NOT LET IT! I was there stuck in the horrible frame of mind for a while and then I re-evaluated the situation and prayed and seeked the Lord and became positive and tried to be upbeat and cheery and really strived for an "out".....and I wish I could tell you the I have found one....but to put it simply, I have not, and I am not sorry, and I am not discouraged and I am not angry with God for the "hard-time" or the trials that I go through or the worse trials that sooo many others that I personally know are going through. NO I absolutely REFUSE to let the enemy win this one! I know who I am and who I was meant to be, and although I am not ready to draw the curtain yet I know that I am not far from the stage.
I really hope that this is encouraging to someone reading this and I know with out a shadow of a doubt that if you hold-fast to your destiny, to your dreams that help will swiftly arrive...it really is how bad do you want it, how fast are you willing to humble yourselves to learn it and how quickly can you become it.
I will do a final post before Monday to tell you the details of my new 12 week Body for Life Journey and I hope you will all join me for that one as well! I bid you all farewell till this weekend!
Warm Regards,
Candace
