God is preparing you for the very thing he has prepared for you.
He has not forsaken you.
He has not forgotten you.
He has not tricked you.
He has not lied to you.
Donât give in.
Donât give up.
Donât step back.
Donât drop out.
Keep on pressing. Itâs coming.
Sometimes the promise we heard from God does not come overnight, which is why the waiting period is so important. It is not a time to be discouraged, rather a time to lean in more to who He is. We can put our hope and faith in the One who loves us and has a plan for our lives.
âThatâs what love does. It pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. When you go after something you love, youâll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything.â

Jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself. This means youâre to love all people, of all ethnicities, of all backgrounds, of all nations.
You either love all or you donât love at all.
(See Matthew 22:39)
Empathy:âLet me hold the door for you. I may have never walked in your shoes, but I can see your soles are worn, your strength is torn under the weight of burdens Iâve never known. Let me hold the door for you. After all youâve been through itâs the least I can do.â #electionday
âLiving your passion means you get up for work every morning and you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the worldâ - @garyvee
You can have 12 LEADERS look at EXACTLY the same thing, and see two entirely different things. The minority will see through the lens of faith, âwe are well able.â The majority, through the lens of fear, âwe were like grasshoppers.â Which one are you? (Numbers 13)
Trusting the Lord to be our Shepherd can be hard. We want control. We want answers. And we most certainly do not want to follow Him through hard places.
But the Good Shepherd has good plans for His sheep. And we can trust the One who willingly laid down His life for His sheep.
Be careful that you donât let offense or distraction take you away from your God ordained assignment. When you abdicate your place, you leave a door wide open for the enemy to get in and potentially derail the very ones you should be protecting. The enemy is cunning. I hate him.
