Leap of Faith

Wow I can believe that it is already Mikes first day at his new Job. Read my other blog about the story of getting this new job.

Today is our first day walking in the ridicolous miracle that God has given us. We have to be faithful and we must be always ready to give back to God what he is his and be ready as the increases come that we first thank him for his Goodness and his grace.

This is a big step of faith because his prior job was a very comfortable job that he had been at for several years and was a very stable job. Then you probably ask why would you start looking for another job if you are stable in this one. Well Mike and I decided that inorder to get your ridicolous miracle that sometimes God wants you to take steps to get there. He wants you to trust that he is guideing your every move and your every step.

Sometimes we can get comfortable where we are at and not realize that God has something much much much more than we ever expected. His old job was about comfort and was actually so comfortable that you can get lazy in the sense that you are not trying to improve and that you dont have anything to look forward to as far as promotions.

Mike is the type that will give his all at whatever he does, nothing less than the best from him. So even though he was doing the work that no one wanted to do and that no one was willing to do he did it with no complaints, he worked every holiday like thanksgiving and christmas eve and christmas day for the last several years because no one wanted to do those days. He is so dedicated to whatever he does. I admire him for that. I was really tired of seeing the fruits of his labor no go noticed, although God does notice them. But when it came time for raises, the raises did not reflect his work ethic and didnt not reflect all that he gave. He never really complained about that either. But among other things, Mike was drawing closer to God and everyone at his old company wasnt and none of them are christains and live like world. Sad to know that they all need Jesus. I am sure that Mike will always pray for them because that is our duty and maybe now they will come to church since mike dosent work with them. Who knows.

God is awesome is all that I know. In order for you to grow in your daily walk with the Lord you have to take leaps of Faith, you have to take those steps out of your comfort zones and break the velvet handcuffs that are so keeping us away from the things of God. We try to tell our selves that were not chained down because they feel some comfortable, but those hand cuffs are what is slowly destorying us.

Ok I can go on forever, so I will quit now. But God is awesome to take that Leap of faith that he is calling you to take. Just Take it.

Trust Me I know what I am doing!

So Mike and I have been praying and asking God when will we get ours? Its is coming? where is it at? All these kinda questions run through our minds. But as we have been praying and asking God what to do, we felt that God was calling us to take steps on our own behave and that we had to apply ourselves. So we both started applying for Jobs. But nothing has came up and nothing happened. We started to fell like ok God what is happening here? So we just needed to trust him more. Well Here starts the good part, a job that Mike had applied for called and wanted an interview. That was out of the blue.

Let me tell you about how the favor Of God works on someone. They really wanted Michael and choose him over someone who had more knowledge, but loved mikes honesty and integrity. Well the first offer was not real inticising and was riskey so Mike took another step of faith and turned down the job. We prayed hard and asked God to open or close the door if it wasn't right. We thought that was the end of it since we turned it down.

Well the door didn't close and it seemed to open wider that is was before, because that company pretty much said what will it take to get you to work for us? What employer does that? In this economy who does that? Wow I just know it was the favor of God on Mike (I am sure he can tell it better)and that is a ridiculous miracle because no one called him for a job no where. He even applied for part time jobs:)

Its hard to leave security and trust God will do what he says he will. Now we got to keep our eyes on him and you can walk on water.

Live life we no regrets and do what the father is tell you to. Just Trust me:)

Taking the first step is a doosie but then once we step out we wonder why we never did that before.

What holds you back?

We all have things that hold us back from the fullness of God and what he has for us.
Its like we need to be set free everyday of the crap that we face day to day.

I know that know that I love to worship and praise his name. I feel like I am a praiser and a prophetic one at that. I don't say that to boast by no means, i think that it is scary in a sense because you become vulnerable with no preplanned practice and you just let it flow.

I play the saxophone and I know that talent was given to me by God. I play by ear and have been in a church that I could flow prophetically in that before.

When I came to New Vision Ministry Center I thought that I should play the Saxophone here, but I feel that God has a time a season for everything. Even though that is a passion for me to play, but it is more of a passion to come out of my comfort zone and worship him doing the flags and dancing before his name. I never had done that before but always wanted to deep down in my heart.

Now that I have been with wow for several months. I really feel that this is going to be a great calling and it is something that I want to do and worship his name no matter who is watching. There are so many thoughts that the enemy tries to put into my head when we do flags or dance on Sunday. Like for example, you look dumb, people will think that you are fake, people will think you are just putting on a show, etc etc etc.

Mike and I came from and church we had visited for about 3 months that didn't really agree with any type of worship expression, they played rock style music but weren't accepting and thought that it would scare people away. We essentially got called into the office and were rebuked in a weird way. I cant keep my worship in a box, I don't think that I will carry a cross to hide my worship, I think that it is almost a sin not to worship the one that created us and saved us from our junk. wow I am starting to preach like I use to in youth, when I was young.

I have so much that I feel is bottled up inside me, I know that I am called to speak to teens and especially teen girls and pre teen girls; because of what I have gone through at their age. But I am held back.

What holds you back? I said What holds you back? What ever it is that holds you then that thing needs to be broken off your life. It needs to be taken and broken into a 1000 pieces then swept away and put in the trash.

I want Him and I want ALL that he will give me. I am going to get it no matter what anyone thinks. I am just going to do it with no fear and with boldness.

Don't be held back and let God unleash in you a potential that you never you was there.
