We are soooo very driven by what we see and what we feel, and sometimes those two things are what gets us in trouble...I am sooooo very tired of waiting, waiting on this, waiting on that...I'm thinking to myself it's almost February (yeah, a whole 4 weeks into 2012, lol) I have been diligently working on achieving my goals, getting some issues removed in my life and still, there is NOTHING!!! I'm thinking I have my plans for this year...Lord, I'm finally trying to go all the way on my goals, and yet nothing is happening! What's really going on? I don't see it, I don't feel it...I haven't even had the motivation to do a blog post or a video post or a Facebook post for my business I haven't had any ideas coming to me...Lord, about my goals, my needs, my desires, the needs of those around me, I've been speaking, decreeing it, declaring it, praying agreeing with others...Lord I finally know all the terminology, I've looked into the Word and I've prayed your Word back to you, but I DON'T SEEEEEEE IT and I DON'T FEEEEEL IT! What is it? It is the car I'm in need of, it is the new job I'm in need of, it is deliverance from the wrong mindset, it is victory over the flesh, it is the ability to go from being a borrower to a lender, it is to see the promises of God go forth in my life, the lives of my friends, within my church, in my community, in my family...BUT I DOOOOON'TTTTT SEEEEE ITTTTT and I sure DON'T FEEEEEEL ITTTTT! Doesn't He want us to have an expectant heart? Welllllll, I'm expecting and I still haven't seen it!!! I'm expecting miracles, signs, and wonders....hmph! Because guess what? I have a couple of situations that need a miracle...some situations that God's favor is going to have to be over so that they can be resolved.....Lord, you gave me a vision, but now the vision is foggy, what happened??? I'm about to get upset (Some of y'all don't know about getting upset with God, so look over me, but for those of you that do, you know how it is when you pitch that fit and get upset with God...still doesn't do you any good except now in addition to your issues, you now have to ask for forgiveness for what you 've done...been there, done that, got the tshirt).....Anyway, after all of my "Don't see it, don't feel it" He brought one word back to my mind...the very word that gave birth to this blog
TRUST.... We trust our family, our friends, our doctors to figure out what's wrong with us, our mailman to deliver the mail, our garbage man to pick up our garbage, our bankers to not steal our money, our employers to pay us our money MORE than we trust God...it's simply crazy and the moment God doesn't give us what we want at the exact time we want, we start thinking and acting like a NUT...and if you read this and you tell yourself "I've never done that", you need to quit lying to yourself ... So to answer the question what happened? The answer is I've never actually put my trust in God and really developed a TRUE relationship with Him until the last year or so...and now that I'm finally in a mode that I'm not trying to conjure up something, I'm freaking out...I've always made things happen and so that's where that I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING comes from...God wants us to know and believe He's God so that after our waiting and our obedience, the promise comes and others will know that God did and we ourselves didn't do it...Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean he wants you to sit around and twiddle your thumbs and look in the sky...When He gives you a vision, he gives you instructions and resources, it's up to you to TRUST and DO...even when you don't feel like it or you don't see the fruit of your labor...JUST "DO"!!! Don't over analyze, JUST "DO"!! You can't afford to stop trusting and doing, because that's where you'll end up in a rut and start looking for what your physical eyes cannot see and what you cannot feel...Let your life operate the vision He gives you, not the vision you think you should see and let it operate on FAITH, not on feelings...Everything He has given me to DO, I will DO...and I look forward to when I can tell you guys the great things TRUSTING and DOING produced in my life as well as what TRUSTING AND DOING produced in your lives....Phillipians 4:9 "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
DO: and the God of peace shall be with you P.S. I didn't feel like doing this blog post...at all...but I DID it...
