On the Edge of a New Beginning

2017.

So many people are saying things like, “new year new me.” Every year  I either roll my eyes at this phrase or I use it in a completely ironic way. But this year I think that phrase might just actually describe me. Or perhaps New Year New Adventure…

Either way, I am at the edge of a new beginning. I can see the starting line. It’s just a week away. I have to say that out loud to convince myself. I LEAVE IN ONE FLIPPIN WEEK!!!

Saying this would have scared me usually, but I’m ready.

God has prepared my heart.

God has given me the calling.

Limited By Your Potential

A while back, someone close to me told me to make sure that I wasn’t living up to my potential, but instead to my destiny.

It stopped me in my tracks. All the voices in my head and expectations of people around me suddenly came to a grinding halt. My focus shifted and I realized that other people don’t determine my steps; not even I do! God does. He has ultimate control over my path in life. That sounds so scary and yet, so comforting.
