Do you remember why you started?

It's too easy to give up. That's taking the easy way out. There are people out there that are waiting for you because they need you to speak life to them.

You know what I mean. They are waiting for you to encourage them.

Every time you want to give up you must encourage yourself. How? Think back to why you started. Your why is the key to your journey. Your why will push you, your why will get you back focus on the plan and purpose for your life.

Yes, I know you thought it was going to be easy, you thought that you would have the support of the people closest to you. So you slowed down and you are hurt and disappointed. Ok, get over yourself!

Get up, pick up your mat, dust yourself off and get back on board with what you are supposed to be doing in life.

You have had a lot of experiences in life that taught you a lesson on what to do or what not to do. Life has thrown you some curveballs and it is ok. Throw them back into the sea and get focused. Renew your mind with the Truth of who God says you are.

It is so convenient to believe everyone else but God. But it is vital for your life and the lives of others that you trust and have faith in Him. Trust Him for what? You must trust in Him in all things. You must trust Him in every area of your life.

Take some time to sit down and reflect on your why. Remember who called you, remember who picked you out, remember who anointed you, and remember who saved you. Stop having a pity party because things are not going as planned. You have the Master Planner living on the inside of you. Now What?

It's time to get back focused. It's time to say yes to His Will. It is time to stop being selfish and help those you have been assigned to. It's time to love and encourage everyone that you come in contact with. It's time to stop allowing your hurt to hinder you.

Are you ready? Let's do this. We can do all things through Christ that gives us strength.

Now rise and let your light shine beautiful!
