The past few weeks I mentioned we’ve been doing some pretty big projects surrounding ‘floor plans’. And a lot of you responded back with some projects you’ve been hard at work with as well. But I have to admit something…
I almost got stuck and didn’t push through to the end!
Does that ever happen to you?
A lot of projects at once with similar timelines can feel overwhelming, and be logistically challenging as well.
One stressful afternoon I heard God whisper, ‘Ask me what My word for you today is’. What is it, Lord? Then I heard:
Don’t. Get. Dormant.
I got a clear sense of encouragement to keep pushing through, and not let things sit till next week where they could lose momentum.
I also had a sense of wisdom; that if I let this sit too long, it would feel too stiff when I got up to try to finish it.
Sometimes when we let a project (or ourselves) be set down and sit for too long, it will feel rusty when we decide to get back at it again. When we use our time wisely on strategic projects we can bypass the resistance we meet when we ‘set it and forget it’ then try to kick start it again. The worst!!!
Then… something odd happened later that night. We found a firefly who landed on our doormat! At first we didn’t know if that little glow-bug was but we bent down and saw indeed, his little lightbulb butt was burnt out.
You are on your way to somewhere special! Don’t get dormant and land on the doormat. If God can light up a bug’s butt…just think about what he can do with you!
