“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whoever cursed the forties and made me fear this coming of age should be ashamed. As I approach my 41st birthday I am more alive than ever. The things that did not make sense to me before now make perfect sense.
What once seemed dark is now a tremendous beacon of light shining in my path. I have learned to be still and allow the LORD to guide me and my hands in how he would have me work. I still work for others, but even that work has taking on new meaning.
It seems as if the LORD is blessing my opportunity to start fresh. He has removed all of the things, which I once viewed as obstacles, and replaced them with resources, strength, and stamina to push ahead.
He will also bless YOUR chance to start fresh as well. Don’t wait until New Years, do it now. Below are some steps to get you started, and once you are started, don’t you dare stop. Move ahead and refuse to look back. Forget the past and work to build the brightest future you can imagine. Refuse to take your dreams and talents with you to the grave. They won’t benefit the next generation there. They won’t benefit you there!
- 1. Pray and Meditate daily on your dream; allow God to bless your dream even as you give thanks for what he has already provided.
- 2. Take steps daily towards your dream; step out on the faith of God and get moving.
- 3. Tell others about your plan to start fresh and ask for help.
- 4. Remove all doubt and past memories; push past those things that don’t seem possible.
- 5. Love yourself and encourage YOU. Don’t for a moment believe that what you have set out to do is not possible.
Remember all things our possible through our Lord and savior Jesus Christ who strengthens us; and a little bit of Girl! Power on the side doesn’t hurt!
