Worthy of Greatness

“When the pain of staying  the same outweighs the pain of change – you’ll change!” ~Author unknown

There is never a dull moment on the journey of transformation when you’re hand in hand with the Creator of the universe.  I believe that in order to truly change we need God’s power combined with our faith.  There’s so much information available to us that tells us that we hold the power within ourselves, but faith apart from God is insufficient.  Hence the Scriptures that tells us that “[we] can do all things THROUGH CHRIST who strengthens [us]” and that “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world”.

I am on a journey towards living the life of my dreams with God – the dream giver Himself!  My Hero has rescued me and has set me on the path of freedom to becoming who He created me to be – He created you and I to be GREAT! Did you know that you are created for greatness? Have you ever let lies that you believe to be true about yourself get in the way of believing that you are truly great?  I certainly have and was faced with one today.  I believed that I was not worthy of greatness or success! How sad is that… brought me to tears.

I realize that while the choices I made in the past may have been messed up, I am not the sum of my past mistakes.  I am no longer who I was and not because of anything I’ve done, but because of what Jesus did for me.  When He rescued me, he washed me clean of my sin and shame.  The Bible says that all who are in Christ are a new creation.  The work has already been done for me, now I just have to be transformed by the renewing of my mind.  That is done by believing truth instead of the lies that try to keep us enslaved to the circumstances of our past.

Part of my journey involves healing and in doing so to discover my true worth.  I’m excited to share this journey with you and hope that you may be inspired to allow God to lead you on your very own adventurous journey with Him on the path to greatness and living your dreams!

Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You so much for Your awesome power and truth that enables us to move the mountains in our lives that try to get in the way on our path to achieving our dreams.  Thank You that in You our true worth is found.  And thank You for everyone who reads this post. I pray especially for those that are hurting and in need of rescuing, please draw them close to You Lord where they can find strength and healing for their hearts.  Make us humble Lord and help us to understand what it truly means to be great.  We are created in Your image – what an honor.  Thank You God 🙂 I pray that You would be glorified.  In Jesus name, Amen ❤

Dreaming Even When The Going Gets Tough

Have you ever been in the way of achieving your dreams? Have you tried to drive full speed ahead to realizing your dream only to be stopped by the car in front of you and you think its a roadblock but when you take a harder look its actually a mirror in the road and the car you are seeing is really yours?  If you’ve answered YES, then you are certainly not alone! I’m right there with you.

Recently, before beginning this blog, I was inspired to make the choice to dream again.  Dreaming is great, but achieving those dreams is awesome! I’ve come to realize however that on the road to making those dreams happen I need to make some personal changes otherwise my dreams will not be realized and they will just fade away into the darkness where nobody would’ve known that they even existed but me and God.  I don’t know about you, but I want to do my part in making my dreams become reality.  I’ve also realized it’s not going to be an easy ride, there are going to be obstacles along the way, and right now I’m the biggest one.

One of my dreams is to be a great person of influence – a leader!  I desire to be able to practice what I preach and preach what I practice especially if my desire is to help others live the best life that they possibly can.  In achieving this dream it’s apparent to me that before I can be used to help anyone, I need to be helped first.  My heart needs changing, my mind needs to be renewed and I need to be stripped away of old habits. I’m overwhelmed and overtired, but I’ve resolved not to give up!  I’m going to start by reading a book I recently purchased called Confidence of a Champion by Tim Marks. It a book that is aimed at helping you become who you were created to be by letting go of lies from the past.  I’ve included a link to where you can purchase the book in case you maybe interested in joining me on this journey 🙂  Confidence of a Champion

I’m excited for the journey ahead and my prayer is that God will prepare you and me to receive and make use of every tool that He provides for my success and yours on this journey to achieving our God-given dreams.  May His will be done in the name of Jesus. Amen ❤
