Tid Bit Tuesday
Sorry for the late post ya'll we've been very busy, and my little man has started rolling over non stop and teething...and gassy (the painful, trapped gas kind) So needless to say I've had my hands full. He's 5 months ya'll! Time has been going by so quickly.
Now on to the subject at hand
I have a revolutionary concept that will just blow your mind. It's something that just messed me all up on the inside. I mean it really shifted something inside me -- Now let me warn you, this is suuperr deep and not everyone will understand or accept it --
Ready?? Here it is -
DON'T...be careful.
Now hear me out, before you totally dismiss me!
Sunday I went to church and the Co-Pastor mentioned a scripture that lit my hear on fire. It was Philippians 4:6. And I tell you what, I could barely listen to the rest of the sermon after just the first 4 words from that scripture. All these thoughts started flooding my mind. Here's what it says:
There are other versions that say anxious and worry, but this was the first time I read it in the King James Version.
Be careful for nothing
How many times have our parents told us to be careful as a child, or for those of us with kids tell them to be careful so they don't get hurt? How about a loved one that is taking some sort of risk, we tell them to be careful, because we want them back in one piece? While all that precaution is nice, but we as Christians don't need to be careful when it comes to the things God has for us.
I have been dealing with some things on the inside of me lately and this came right on time. It's like God was telling me not to hesitate or hold back, but to go and go boldly. Yes we should choose to do things wisely, but I say if we're going to choose to do something (for me it's my business) give it our all. Don't be careful. Don't be afraid. Use the gift that God has given us and don't hold back!
So I want to encourage you (and myself) whatever God has laid on your heart to do stop waiting and making excuses as to why you can do it, and just do it.
DO IT NOW!...or tomorrow at least, but don't let more than 1 day pass!
If you are a follower of Christ, remember He is on your side and He will equip you with everything you need! Trust Him...He knows what He is doing.

Now, I don't need to be careful for anything anymore. I'm going to trust God that what He leads me to, He'll lead me through and to the finish line. It's not an overnight transformation, but it's definitely start. And through Christ I will finish the task!
I told you guys I nit-pick at stuff! What is it that you've been holding back on?
