Have you ever ever sat there and simply needed a distinct life so badly?
It’s not that you simply’re wanting round at different folks’s lives, wanting theirs. It’s not sin.
And it’s not that you simply’re not grateful and content material with the life that you’ve, since you are, it’s simply that there’s this nagging, pounding, gut-wrenching feeling in your intestine, in your soul that claims, “I do know there’s extra to life than this.”
I do know there’s extra on the market.
I do know there’s a distinct means.
I do know there’s a greater means than…fill within the clean.
…Struggling each month for my payments.
…Making an attempt to get someplace on-line, solely to maintain having a billion doorways slam in my face.
…I do know there’s a greater means than making an attempt each possibility on the market, making an attempt each coaching on the market and it simply…doesn’t…work.
It really works for THEM, however for some odd purpose, it by no means works for ME. 🤔 And I’m left with much less cash making an attempt to higher my household and go after my goals.
…I do know there’s a greater means than working my guts out on a regular basis simply to MAKE ends meet, or worse, making nice cash and all of it flies out the window. Invoice right here, invoice there, everybody’s hand is out accumulating for SOMEthing.
…I do know there’s a greater means than continuously feeling like I’m in a rat race. Always feeling like I’ll by no means be ok to get forward. By no means be ENOUGH to do ANYTHING.
By no means quick sufficient, somebody beats me to an concept.
By no means sturdy sufficient. I lose endurance once they’re all nonetheless working.
I understand how you’re feeling.
Wanting one thing that appears like I’ll by no means get it. It’ll by no means come. I work my buns off, I sow my seeds for the precise issues, nevertheless it simply by no means appears to return and I preserve ready and ready and ready. Obeying God, being affected person, and it simply drags on endlessly. I do know what it’s like. I’ve been there.
I purchased a home there. 😂 I planted a winery there. I made a house there for a very long time. 💯 However nonetheless behind my thoughts, this nagging pressure to propel me ahead and the concept my goals WEREN’T useless spurred me on.
At occasions, I’d be working towards my goals. Different occasions, crawling. Typically, laying flat on my stomach not in a position to transfer however nonetheless FACING the precise route. That counts proper?! 😁
I saved making an attempt. I saved taking extra steps, one after the opposite. Stored making an attempt various things. I’d work a enterprise for a yr, see the way it was going then determine if I’d proceed or not, however by no means seeming to seek out the precise one.
I’ll always remember the time the place within the enterprise earlier to my beginning a weblog, I used to be making probably the most gross sales on my staff. I used to be promoting the most important packages proper and left and everybody was questioning how I used to be doing it. I had cracked the code, so to talk, and my upline was so impressed with me.
Certainly one of my greatest upline folks, a man making $14k/month on the time, I dreamed of with the ability to have one THIRD of what he was doing. Just a bit bit. I don’t want all of it, just a bit bit. A portion. So I might pay my payments and never have to fret about cash as a single woman. To have the ability to BREATHE!
Not feeling like every minute a invoice collector was gonna come and the opposite shoe would drop and I’d lose all the things. Simply peace. Stability. A future.
He pulled me apart and instructed me that I used to be headed for excellent issues and I used to be so excited. If a person like THAT noticed MY potential, certainly I’d win, proper???
And I did. I did win. I make an excellent dwelling and life has far exceeded what ANYONE ever thought I might do in my whole life. 💯
However right here’s the factor.
It wasn’t in HIS enterprise.
Wait…what?! 🤔
I attempted in his enterprise and I really feel like I reached the highest of what I might do. I used to be making good cash sure, however, it simply wasn’t ME. It wasn’t an excellent match for ME. I used to be doing nicely, profitable by their requirements. However, it simply didn’t really feel prefer it FIT.
Are you aware what I imply?
Are you in a state of affairs now the place you simply really feel prefer it’s not the precise match? Like if you attempt on a costume and it appears to be like stunning on another person nevertheless it simply doesn’t look good on YOU. It’s not the precise match.
👉 Hear, God has a function for us all. A spot by which we DO FIT. A spot by which we really feel snug, we really feel at dwelling. At peace. A spot the place we will be ourselves and be who He purposed us to be.
I can’t match of their place and so they can’t slot in mine. This place is barely meant for me. Your house is barely meant for you.
The place IS your house? Have you ever prayed about it? Have you ever sought God’s will and simply acquired on the bottom and BEGGED Him to point out you the place He desires you? Earlier than you snigger, I do that nearly DAILY!
Everybody else will get to see the highest of my desk in my dwelling, however I see the cords greater than the highest!
Why? As a result of I’m flat on the bottom in humility, no pillow, no mattress, simply carpet, flat on my face asking God to point out me what to do subsequent.
And you understand what?
He DOES!!!
He’s not a shy God. He’s not a quiet God you may stick in some closet and pull out if you need. He desires to be a part of each inch of our lives. He desires to be…your greatest buddy. How usually do you discuss to your greatest buddy? Now…how usually do you discuss to God? It must be the identical. 🥰
He’ll lead you. He’ll information you. He’ll present you the best way! Proverbs 16:1
