5. Step Two- It's time to take action

People around us will always have their opinions. They will sometimes even say hurtful things about how we look, who they think we are and the plans that we have for our life. So how do we find the truth about ourselves through the hurtful things being said to us?We have to surrender to the truth God has placed on us. If we decide that everything people say about us is truth, we will not only feel lost about who we truly are, but we may also become exactly what that lie spoken over us says. Are you willing to surrender to the truth?

I'm going to bet that you have had a moment in your life where you said something that REALLY came out in the wrong way. Maybe you left just cycling through your mind thinking things like "That was so offensive," "How embarrassing, I can't believe I said that," "That wasn't what I meant," etc. Important reminder, obedience is more important than performance. Join me as we talk a bit more about learning to be heard when God has given you something to say.

How many hats do you feel like you wear in a day? One too many sometimes...all the time?Having this feeling of running behind is a recurring struggle of mine. It has the ability to create resentment in this life that I always dreamed of having.It's ok to struggle, feel stressed or overwhelmed, but we have to make sure we don't get stuck there.

The seed of fear...It starts out small, but then we nourish the fear. It becomes a bigger presence in our minds and hearts. We begin validating our fear everyday because we feel like it keeps us safe. It grows and all of sudden it feels like that same fear is now running your life and doomsday is right around the corner. Is fear stealing from you?

Step 1: ObedienceStep 2: ProblemWhat are the lies you have been carrying with you that God didn't ask you to bring along? How are these lies holding you back from finding healing...finding the truth that God has for you and your purpose in this world?Let's take a dive into what holding onto these lies can look like and how they can impact our journey forward with God.

What is the price of becoming who God created you to be?I felt like I was doing everything God asked me to. I was following His plan for my life, but yet, life had never been more difficult, filled with disappointment and loss kept showing up at my door. I couldn't help but question why things were so difficult when I felt like I was being true and loyal to God's plan for my life. Then...I realized the truth God was giving me and what becoming was really about.

It's time for you to find the freedom God has for you.It's time for you to discover the process of redemption.It's time for you to know God's goodness.It's time for you to be convinced of your significance.Focus. Conquer your problems and leverage your struggle.

Are you feeling discouraged in your relationships, friendships and community?Do you desire to build something you have yet to build in your community?Have you not had the healing you thought you would have walking this life with God?Join us as we break down different types of connections, levels of vulnerability and learn more about releasing unrealistic expectations we place on our relationships that keep us from building the community we thought we would have in this life.

What is driving your life? Do you feel like you are being driven by one problem after the next? OR do you feel like you are focused on what God has called you to do and the promises He has for you?

Today, we look at the third foundational Truth we will need as we move forward in the Adventure God has for us. We are important. We must find healing. It is imperative as we move forward that we understand our own significance in this life. Let's do this.
