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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
Amen!
