Never underestimate the power of initiative! It isn’t the best, most talented, or fastest that wins, but the one with initiative and starts first.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
4 Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
Stop waiting for all the conditions to be perfect. Start, begin, initiate! “Someday” might be the most dangerous word in the English language.
The most productive, fulfilling life you can live will be one where you change before you have to. Where you purposefully make changes to live the God-honoring life you were created for.
2 Corinthians 3:18 New Living Translation (NLT)
18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
We have to become more and more like Him and less and less like ourselves.
Some times in life change is forced – you have to change. Other times you don’t have to, but you should. When you’re in the woods of shoulds – change is always optional and it’s always beneficial.
We fight change – Change can be scary.
We keep what we don’t like out of fear of the unknown. When was the last time you tried something new? Be bold – Be daring
Isaiah 43:19 New Living Translation (NLT)
19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
A life of possibilities is waiting for you on the other side of change.
You have everything you need to initiate change.
This is the time we collectively celebrate one of the most monumental events of history that changed the playing field for all of humanity.
An event that split time. Where every year before it counted down to it and every year after it looks back to it as the beginning.
The whole season and night of Jesus’ birth is full of turmoil. It was a time of chaos. Traveling by donkey to pay taxes. No room in the Inn. And it was in this moment when God’s power is revealed and Jesus is born.
What do you do when what you have been waiting for – a dream, a desire, and it doesn’t seem like it is ever going to happen?
When God makes a promise, we may not know when, we may not know how, but we do know it will come to pass.
Guess Speaker: Terri Savelle Foy
Terri has learned firsthand that it’s not until we truly get a revelation of who we are in Christ and apply it to our lives, that our past can be erased and our dreams can become real again. As an author and speaker, Terri shows how we can let go of our past, change our self image and confidently move into a future with hope.
You can’t do everything but you can do something. A passionate cause is about doing something about one thing!
There is a hero inside each of us. You are capable of doing something with the resources you have that will make an impact in the lives of those around you.
We refer to police, firefighters, medical workers, and servicemen as heroes, because they protect and save the lives of others. As Christians, our goal is (should be) to save and protect the lives of others.
JESUS didn’t come to this Earth to save himself or become famous. He came to save us!
