So often God gives us a vision and says go forward without providing step by step instructions. Oh yes, we are so pumped up and enthused until . . . roadblocks, detours, no’s, monkey wrenches; is it time to throw in the towel? NO and I’ll tell you why using my example from today:

I have been planning an event for a few weeks now but toying with it for longer than I can remember. Leaving your Legacy by Writing your Story—RSVP & find out more information here if you are in the HamptonRoads, VA area. One of the blessings of my life today is the remarkable people God allows me to meet and partner with to inspire and encourage others. Ever prayed that God would enlarge your territory? Good but, when He does, that means you have to USE IT and include OTHER PEOPLE—it’s not all about you! 

Anyway, featured speakers and the venue are confirmed; now comes the nerve wrecking part of tying up loose ends. One of myloose ends was an essential personal promotional piece to the event and my anticipated delivery was largely miscalculated! I learned a few hours ago that there was absolutely NO WAY it would be available in time for Saturday’s event. I refused to have this event and not have that essential piece but, my spirit immediately said: don’t panic, pray and trust God for the solution. Before I could close my eyes and go into prayer, the Holy Spirit reminded me: think of the whole reason you are doing this and the featured speakers. You have come too far to give up now and of course the Devil does not want to see this happen or for the messages of hope to be delivered.
