Day 14: Grateful for Value in Transition

Day 14: I am grateful to know that my value is not defined by my possessions or what others think of me. But, I did not always know this because I fell into the trap of what our culture defines as valuable. And, it can be easy to get caught up even now, but when you take inventory on what is most important, your thinking changes. I simply had to change my mindset and choose to do and be different. I no longer wait for the approval of others to determine if and/or when I should launch out into the deep. Of course, timing is everything; however, my focus is on what God says and His strategic timing more than anything else in this world. One time, when I was debating a choice, my daughter said, "Don't let anyone cause you to change what you are going to do when you already decided what you were going to do." That was simply amazing, but it lets me know that my blessings are watching everything that I do and taking good notes by the way. That is called good pressure. I Will NOT Lose! That is a promise.

I am in transition at the moment from one opportunity to the next; so, the question that I encounter from others, "What are you going to do next?" My confident response is, "I am trusting God that He has already provided for me." Now, I am wise enough to do my part/due diligence, but I am certain that the Word will make you walk on water. I am daily meditating on Proverbs 3:5-6 (much love to you for being obedient and sharing, Yakinea) that trusting God in ALL things in life is the ONLY way to go. There is NO plan B! Period! The testimony will come soon. Believe that!

I saw the Rocky 6 movie a while back and this one scene with him and his son was priceless; so, I wanted to share.

"...Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!..." #rocky6

May each of you only look to God for your value and worth. No one else is qualified to define you.

Much Love,
