CAN WE SET THE STANDARD AND MAKE A CHANGE?

So today I woke up extra excited that I actually got one wheel in my huge master plan turning! This blog is actually a part of a big plan and so I've been thinking all day, what am I going to write about? What do I have to say? Is it profound? Does it have to be profound? No... it doesn't lol. All it has to do is make sense and make a point, right? What I want to talk about today is the importance of not losing sight of your dreams. This is very dear to my heart because I have always been a person who has had big dreams, dreams so big that I'm sure behind my back people thought that I was crazy and probably still do! The point is to never be concerned by what someone else thinks about you. How someone else feels about me does NOT define who I am. What defines me is how God sees me and how I need to learn how to see myself! If you're given these ideas, maybe it's because we're supposed to do something with them! I believe that we weren't put here to just work for someone else all of our lives. The Bible says that we are to be the head and not the tail, and that we are to be lenders and not borrowers. How can we do that if we're caught up in the everyday rat race barely making ends meet? I think in this day and age it is the time for us to set ourselves apart, let's stop letting the stock market determine who will have jobs or not have jobs today or tomorrow! We have to stir up that entrepreneurial spirit that is on the inside of all of us and start coming up with some God inspired ideas that will not only put us in a position of power, but because it was an idea given to us by God it is blessed and therefore will be prosperous!

I believe that now is the time for us to set ourselves up for owning our own businesses so that we can help other people in need, by providing jobs in the community, having the cash flow to be able to bless a person without hurting afterwards. We have to think BIG! Remember when you were a kid, how easy it was to think that you could be the president of the United States? Remember when it was OK to say I'm going to be a rocket scientist and believe it without batting an eye? We have to get back to that kid kind of faith that allows us to believe that we can. Somehow, in our transition from childhood to adulthood we lose sight of that kind of faith, we also start to think that it's not possible to become all those things that we thought we could do as children. However, NOTHING is impossible with God. If you trust Him, you can do all things... We can't be selfish or stingy with our gifts and talents, because remember God uses people to bless people, not using your gifts and talents or even doubting that you are capable is calling God a liar and our Father is not a man that He shall lie, we need to see ourselves how He sees us. We need to love ourselves like He loves us. If we could all just get a revelation of how He loves us and how He sees us then maybe we could all start to believe it and live up to that standard that He has called us to live! There are only people that you can touch, there are only people that will be able to receive from you, not using the resources that God has given you could cost you that person's soul. We are here not to just get blessed and keep it to ourselves but we are here to bless others. Let's face it, we live in a material world. The better you dress the better you are perceived, the more expensive car you drive the more successful you are assumed to be, if we live in a society that requires you to look and act and dress a certain way just to say that you are successful then, we have to start putting ourselves in the position to be able to play the part. How are you going to tell the young aspiring drug dealer to get off the corner, when he's just trying to hustle up some money for an official pair of True Religion $200 jeans when you're wearing Wrangler. Sad but true, that he would be able to tell the difference. How are you going to impress him, this young kid on the corner when you are rolling up in a put- put with an $80. bible. That won't impress today's generation. We have to look the part and we were called to be blessed and prosperous. Let's live up to our potential. Don't let your mind get in the way of your dreams. If you have dreams, write them down, post them on your walls so that you are reminded of them everyday and make a plan to make it happen! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You are the head and not the tail. Don't sell yourself short.
