Ready to Jump

I read this on a blog that I follow this morning and these words that God spoke to her spoke directly to my heart as well. I am truly tired of playing it safe in life. Ready to take some leaps.

"Walk by faith, not by sight. As you take stepsof faith, depending on Me, I will show you how much I can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing Me work through you. When I gave you My spirit, I empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. that's why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but Mine, which is limitless. By walking close to Me, you can accomplish My purposes in My strength."

Highly Recommended

I am listening to the "Heaven" series from Pastor Steve Berger of Grace Chapel here in Leipers Fork. Here is a link to purchase the series. I strongly recommend it. As he says, we spend our whole lives proclaiming that this present life is but a breath and we look forward to the eternal yet none of us really know anything about what Heaven will be like. We spend no time in pursuit of understanding what God will allow us to understand about it; this place where we will spend eternity.

For me, Heaven has been a source of immense anxiety in my past. I am a person who needs to know something about what to expect. And I've finally realized that that's OK. But no one could ever tell me anything other than, "it's gonna be great". Well that wasn't enough for me. An endless amount of "great" wasn't enough information.

I think this is a must for your resource library. I see myself referring back to this series many times in the rest of my life.
