I know who you are

For months years I have had promptings.  A tugging.  A nudge.  A pulling from a direction I truly trust, yet can't fully commit to.  I've allowed doubt, fear, unworthiness, a lack of qualifications and self hypocrisy the enemy to convince me I'm incapable of such a responsibility.  The list of doubts and their receipts mounts higher than any mountain I could climb. Yet Truth whispers, "I know who you are. I created you." I'm reminded of the multitudes that had/have a calling and were/are used in mighty ways. They only had to answer that calling and step out in faith. After all, He doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

Faith and trust take on a much deeper meaning when your path is marked a pebble at a time. 

I find it interesting that so many people are afraid of failure and long for success. As if success is easier. I am one of those people. However, I can honestly see success and it terrifies me. The weight of the responsibility is overwhelming.

Over time I've become a pretty private person. Giving up a security and allowing people into my thoughts is daunting. I can't quite figure out why. I'm not completely concerned of what most people think of me. I know my heart. Most importantly, God knows my heart. But lets be honest. On some level, acceptance is what we all truly want and look for. I'm not sure I'm ready to allow the haters in. 


So here I sit. Looking out on a path I've been avoiding for more than 10 years. Knowing now is the time to start the journey. Esther 4:14 .....I have come to this place for such a time as this. I have know idea where I'm headed or what lies on the path. But, I'm trusting in the One who calls me. Jeremiah 1:5

Maybe it's your time to step out into your calling.  Consider this your "sign".

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
