mmm i don't know why, but i haven't had the mood to blog lately.
Here's something worth sharing though. It's an excerpt from a book called
'How to Succeed at Being Yourself' by Joyce Meyer. I finished it a few weeks ago, but I was flipping through it just now and I came across this part I bookmarked. Or in other words, I really liked this part because it spoke to me.
"When desires seem overwhelmingly big, and we don't see a way to accomplish them, we should remember that even though we don't know the way, we know the Waymaker!
God has a way for us to do everything He places in our heart. He does not put dreams and visions in us to frustrate us. We must keep our confidence all the way through to the end, not just for a little bit and then when it looks the mountain is too big, give up!
It is untold what people can do - people who don't appear to be able to do anything. God does not usually call people who are capable; if He did, He would not get the glory. He frequently chooses those who, in the natural, feel as if they are in completely over their heads but who are ready to
stand up on the inside and
take bold steps of faith as they get direction from God.
We usually want to wait until we 'feel ready' before we step out, but if we feel ready then we tend to lean on ourselves instead of on God.
Know your weaknesses and know God - know His strength and faithfulness. Above all else, don't be a quitter.
"1 Corinthians 1:27-30>> God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things - and the things that are not - to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
We are nothing without God. And yet God picked us to carry out his will. Amazing, isn't it? =)
