A life that mirrors your innermost desires…because you fully understand your passions and purposes. Is that a life you desire? Well, you can have this type of life…if you take the time to create and build it.

Nothing happens by chance. We cannot wish these things into existence. We must plan accordingly and put forth a real effort. We fail when we do not put things in the correct order. We cannot wing it; because although spontaneity is awesome, it will not work when working towards a goal and or business. We must plan, and plan with intention.
More importantly, please focus on the ideas, goals, and passions that God has given you. Those things that keep you awake at night. That idea which is not easily crushed by others’ opinions and unwelcome negative comments. That is God’s way of drawing you to Him, because He knows you very well. “O, Lord you have searched me and known me. You know when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You are acquainted with all my ways.” (Psalm 139: 1-4)
Resist the urge to shrink back and hide. Learn to silence your inner critic. Remember that there is a unique place for YOU. You are powerful. Even when no one knows your name…yet…remember the end goal. I understand the frustrations. The fear of missing out. The loss of relationships because you have to prioritize your time. It’s exhausting! That is sometimes part of the process. Some dreams require months and years of planning…because they are that big and detailed. Bigger than you have ever imagined!
Make time to pray.
Study the Bible.
Make a detailed plan.
Establish your goals.
Discover your passions.
Find a friend, associate, or mentor to assist.
You can do this!

Hello Tenia,
Thank you for inspiring us with these words. I especially like it when you said “ Resist the urge to shrink back and hide”. God gives us power to DO. There is no power in wishing. Great reminder.
Be blessed,
Yes, Brenda! I agree. I like that statement too. By the way, your hair is beautiful!
This was short, sweet, and powerful. Thank you!

Very “hands on”, thanks Brenda!
I was also struck by your statement, “Resist the urge to shrink back and hide.” I don’t think that thought will ever become old or stale. This was another sigh of relief, thank you.
Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed, “We must plan, and plan with intention” because at the start of the year, God told me that we must be intentional this year. I told our outreach and bible study that we are going to be intentional; so we are having more meetings this year, and planning with intention. This was definitely confirmation. Thank you so much for your obedience.
I love how this post reminded me of God’s love and guidance and that with planning and great effort, I will succeed in fulfilling God’s purpose for me.
Wow! That was short but very sweet! Thank you for sharing. We have to PLAN and plan with INTENTION! That statement struck me!
