Defined by Progress

I had been wondering about putting my strengths, experiences and knowledge to work for the Kingdom of God. I go back and forth with what they are worth and what they are not worth. Don’t you?

For three years I have been focusing on putting them to work and learning how they will work for the Kingdom of God. It is not like I have graduated from theological school or business school or even social work school. 

Those are not the experience and knowledge I have. It is the experience of living my life in ministry with Jesus that gives me the strengths that I have.

What I DO have

By putting those strengths to work I have gained tons of experience training myself and others to live the mission God has built for them by empowering them to be more purposeful about their own vision from God. This experience has given me special insight into how to create an amazing process to get this done.

I have been and will continue to be an influence to thousands of women since I began yet today I still question my abilities to do this. And I think my lack of confidence sometimes is based on the newness of what God is calling me to do every single day.

I get complacent when I know how to do something well and want to live in that for a while.

Every day is a new day with a new commandment and a new lesson to learn to perfect it. This new commandment is riddled with error until such time as I have perfected its use in my life.

MY Mistakes don’t define me MY Progress does.

I don’t like making mistakes and I have had mental breakdowns for days after discovering one. I am learning to expect and thrive from my mistakes because they lead to progress. I am not allowing my mistakes or my breakdowns afterwards to define who I am.

My three fold Mission (Commission, Ambition, Transition) depend on the progress I make with every directive from God. Therefore I am willing to endure it because I am not willing to end it.
