“I found strength, courage and wisdom; it’s been inside of me all along.”
Sometimes God requires that we walk out on faith and “don’t ask no questions!” Sometimes God commands us to do something that we feel we are not ready to do or something we are afraid of doing. When God commands us to do something we must put the fear aside and do what we are told. Fear was not made for human consumption and the Bible says “For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
The other day God reminded me of my responsibility. God reminded me that I am to begin my woman’s discussion group- “Sacred Women”. Not only did God tell me to start the woman’s discussion group but to start it next week! Now, “God I’m not ready for all this, don’t you think you are moving a little fast? I need some more time. Am I really going be able to host my own woman’s discussion group?” These were my fearful thoughts but I did not focus on them. The next day I created flyers for my first woman’s discussion group. I began to pass out informational flyers even though I was nervous and afraid. We cannot let fear stop us from using our gifts and talents. God gave me a gift to speak and motivate and empower women and I MUST use the gift. If we sit on our gifts, our children will sit on their gifts as well. Stand up and work through the fear! We must remember that our gift is greater than our fear. We must remember that God is greater than fear. In order for us to transcend into the next level we must get out of our comfort zone.
Next Thursday I will have my first woman’s discussion group at my house. I have made a commitment to empower women but more importantly I have made a commitment to my gift and to my God. I will let you know how it goes…

With Love, Miss D. (This clip is just for fun- "Don't ask no questions!") LOL
This was a great post...and I can so relate.
ReplyDeleteI started a women's empowerment group on FB back in February and I felt the same way..I am not ready to start this...it's a big responsibility, etc, etc, etc.
However instead of letting fear be my guide I listened to God's voice and stepped out on faith and the group has been a blessing to myself as well as others!
When God calls us to a task He will definitely give us what we need to accomplish it!
God bless and keep listening to His voice!
Love this! Keep me posted, I know you'll do well with that mindset. Do you...
