Destiny Awaits


For the past couple weeks every time I have been in my car alone, I have seen an airplane flying over.  With me living around 6 miles away from the local airport you would think that would be an everyday occurrence, however it is not.  Last night as I was leaving church, the plane I saw was so close that I could almost count the windows.  It just took my breath away as it was such a powerful scene.  

I had to ask God, "Ok Papa, what is with all the planes?  What are You trying to tell me?"  All I heard was, "Your Destiny Awaits."  

My dream is to travel the world telling everyone about the love of God.  I dream to be a radical evangelist like Todd White (without the dreadlocks, sorry Todd) praying for the sick and non-believers...having their lives be totally transformed because they encountered God through my introducing them through prayer.  If I don't start praying for people how can God use me like He uses Todd? 

Everything I do today (and tomorrow) is working toward that.

What do I mean by that?  Every instruction from God that we obey gets us a step or so closer to our destiny.  Whether the instructions or big or small we need to obey.  

This whole year has been a season of just obeying what He directs me to do.  Nothing has gone according to "my" detailed plan that I do every year to maximize my life.  Everything that I wanted to focus on He has removed from my line of sight.  Even with my sewing ministry, what I wanted to work on isn't a priority right now.  He has me doing something totally different and out of my wheelhouse.  I am loving it.  

Which is hard for me to comprehend as I am a planner, I need structure and I am not comfortable flying by the seat of my pants.  (*When God answers your prayers to wreck you for Him, He will mess with all areas of your comfort zone...lol)

The last six months, my passion to create with Him has been on fire that I can't control it.  It is all I can think about and how I want to spend all my free time.  

In the past few weeks, there has been a huge shift in what He has me doing.  Getting into my car and following my God GPS...I drive where He directs and do what He tells me to do.  

In the natural I feel like I am doing a lot of nothing and wasting precious time, but in the supernatural I know He is working something behind the scenes.  He just needs my cooperation and obedience.   

Who knows why I needed to sit with that person at the park, keeping them company until someone they knew showed up.  Who knows why I needed to go to that particular pharmacy for my lip balm so that I could give my card to a stranger that approached my car because she saw my ministry info on it and wanted help on learning to sew.   

Who knows why I went to the places I don't normally go to do what I don't normally do?  I will tell you WHO!  God knows.  Whether it was to bless those folks or it was to see if I would follow His lead out of my comfort zone...God knows and that is all I need to know.  If He wants to tell me why, He will tell me.  I will continue to do what He asks as I know that He is going to show up and I want to see it.  

The bible tells us in Zechariah 4:10 not to despise small beginnings.  

Every little thing that God has us doing is part of His plan for furthering His Kingdom. I have been following Him where ever He has been leading me.  Even on our little road trips around town, God and I are on a journey together.  If I don't obediently follow Him around town how can He expect me to follow Him around the country or the world?  

What destination are your dreams taking you?  What are you doing today to get you there?

Ask God what He needs you to do, ask Him what steps you are to take to get you going in the right direction.  Each step we take is a step closer to where He wants to take us.  

Our Destiny Awaits...are you ready?  Let's go God, let's go!

Until Next Time, God Bless!
