One Bite at a Time

Wow, it has been forever since I have posted a blog and not really sure anyone has noticed.

Really doesn't matter I suppose, I need to do this more for me than anyone else. This is my chance to share with a few what little I have learned along the way and if by chance I help anyone well then that would really be cool!

As I get back on the train full steam ahead in this stage of my life and ministry I see such tremendous opportunities for "The Church" which is the body of Christ of which I am honored to be a part of.
So much of what God is doing right now is so incredibly awesome yet at times can seem very overwhelming. So often when we see opportunities if your like me you want to run right out and get it all done today! However, this last year has taught me many things, one of which was to be careful not only whom I share my heart with but when to share it! You see the dream God has for you is so much greater than the one you have for yourself and it will not happen overnight. In fact, God may show you the bigger picture but it can only be digested in smaller pieces. We must be careful to be patient for God's timing, you know the "He is never early but He is never late either" song and dance. However, it is true. God's timing is perfect and no matter how much you beg or plead, fast or pray you are not going to make God speed up His will for your life.
There is always alot to be done and like me you probably want to do it all, and hopefully you will but not all today. Slow down and remember God desires more of you than what you can do! One bite at a time will get the job done whatever that looks like for you. Set priorities for your life according to God's Word, not others demands and ask God for wisdom to say NO to good things so you can say YES to the very best things, God things!
