DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
-Jeremiah 33:3

    I have spent so much time lately talking to girls and guys about the struggle to find their purpose in life.

They ache and yearn to do something bigger and greater.
They have a need to help people....reach people....and find out what the future holds for them.

Last week in my small group a guy was talking about his need to do great things in this world beyond his every day job. His eyes almost teared up as he tried his hardest to explain how much he wanted to do more with his life than just go to work and spend time with friends. You could feel his passion for seeking God's will, and at the same time you could see how his spirit was wrestling with where exactly that passion was going to take him. He wanted to know so badly where his future was headed. Humbly he admitted he was fearful of where God was going to take him...but thankfully, he said his yearning to do more for God was beginning to overpower the fear!
His passion and honesty made everyone stop and think....

I also know a young couple whose passion for the Lord is strikingly evident to anyone who knows them. Their faith is deep and their passion and authenticity for the Lord's work is so refreshing. They have a desire to do great things and feel called by the Lord to take a step out in faith, but they find themselves wondering what step to take first. They yearn for something more...something bigger and something greater to serve Him better....but where exactly does that take them they wonder....

A dear dear friend of mine knows that God is calling her to a specific purpose in her life! She feels called by Him to do something that means she would have to step out in faith and trust Him COMPLETELY to handle all the details. She knows this is from the Lord, but aches to hear Him give a firm confirmation that this is where she should go....

Do you find yourself in a situation like this?
 Are you yearning to know what your future holds?
Do you long to do something great...but you aren't even sure what that "great" thing is?
 Are you fearful of everything in your life and not giving the Lord control?


I have been so blessed in this last month to have developed some deep relationships with new and old friends that have spent time sharing with me their fears, dreams, hopes and concerns about wanting to do something great with their future.
I love to listen to people who are searching for the things of the Lord.
I love to listen because I know in my heart and believe with everything inside of me that if they are desiring to do something great for the Lord....HE WILL HELP THEM ACHIEVE IT!!!!!

The Lord has shown me through a closer walk with Him that there isn't anything He can't do!!!!
  So many times in life we can get weighed down by circumstances, people's negative attitudes, or even believers who live their lives in defeat...even though they serve a mighty GOD!
It is not always easy to live in victory in this fallen and broken world. Bad things happen....really bad things sometimes....but that doesn't change who God is and what He will do!

  I want to encourage you my sweet brothers and sisters that God wants to reveal to you His plan for your life. In Jeremiah 33:3 God tells Jeremiah, "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known"
That verse has completely changed my way of thinking!
If we really wrap our minds around the fact that those words came from the Lord...then we should allow our fear to be washed away by the promise we read in His word!
" Call to Me", He says!
Any decision you are facing...CALL TO HIM
Any fear you are facing for your future...CALL TO HIM

He promises in His Word that He will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

   Trade fear for trust.
   Trade confusion for peace...
 and He will reveal to you where you should go!

Oh how He loves you and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
