Do you ever have those moments where it truly does feel like you and God are on the same page? This week was like that for me.
The words in John 15: 7-8 have been playing in my mind for several days. ABIDE in ME.
As I kept reading this verse over and over, God was with me, just He and I. My Rock, my encourager. “Believe in yourself, you CAN do it.”
I knew that He was encouraging me in regards to the new Bible study I am starting. As excited as I am about studying the Book of James, I was not sure I could take on the challenge of memorizing the Book of James. However, after listening to a short ‘tutorial’ on how to take on this challenge there again John 15 came up. Again “Believe you can do it”. Never did I think I would even take on this challenge, heck I can’t remember what I did the day before, how am I going to memorize an entire book? Well, I am asking God for that ability and I am not going to leave any room for negative thoughts or talk. I have to believe I can do this. I may not do it as fast as others or I may just get through the first few chapters, but I am going to give it my all and I am going to enjoy it.
The second time this week that I felt God’s encouragement was while I was trying to decide if I should join the Ava Anderson team. I was feeling uncertain about it all and after meeting with my team leader and others in my group I went home and just asked God for clarity. Why was I considering this? What was my ultimate goal? Could I really make this work? How would this time be different? Again, I kept hearing, believe in yourself. I took God’s advice, I am going to believe I can do it!!!
Ultimately I would love the chance to make Ava work to bless our family financially, but the bottom line is that for several year, I have been passionate about the same things that this company is. I want to make a difference. More importantly, I feel that it will bring glory to God in many different ways. To share these products with a family who will see a remarkable change because of them is like sharing The Gospel, on a much smaller scale of course! I didn’t just feel a spark of excitement, it is an explosion. I have had the pleasure of sharing this with many friends and I am astounded by the encouragement and support. How blessed am I? Who knows where this journey will take me, but I am excited to find out. I would love to share what I know with you. I will be posting two opportunities if you are interested.
