I’m approaching another year of life and reflections are at an all time high. Recently, I decided to invest in a couple of conferences that I believe will enhance a few of my life goals. Initially, I hesitated, because I am the bread winner for my household since my husband’s stroke 8 years ago and every penny counts. Anywho, I thought about all the things that I could use this money other than attending these conferences. However, I felt something shifting in my spirit, challenging me to take that leap and trust The Most High to provide.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I value my family. And my family knows that I don’t think twice about meeting their needs. As a matter of fact, it’s just my nature. It is what gets me out of the bed in the morning. Knowing that I am meeting a need brings me joy.

Now normally I would talk myself out of doing something specifically pertaining to me especially with having a large family. But can I tell you how after registering for one of the conferences, I felt a twinge of joy in my heart. I did it!! And there was no turning back because joy and fear can’t reside in the same space. “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.” Psalm 37:25 (Thank you for this promise, Father.)

In these moments of reflection, I’m also finding that as my youngest child is heading off to college, I’m able to reach way back into my soul and start thinking about my dreams, goals and desires. As I approach, 50something, I’m reminded that sometimes things don’t go as we plan but the things that we’ve committed to The Most High have not been forgotten. As much as we may want it, we’re not going to get it until we’re able to handle it. Why? Because The Father wants us to win! Isn’t that amazing!! He WANTS us to WIN!

I want to encourage you to stay hopeful even when the smoke is blinding and you can’t see a clear path in front of you. Trust the voice of the Father. Follow His lead when everyone around you is going in the opposite direction. Rejoice in His timing because it is perfect! Trust that He will meet your needs! 

Today, I’m winning because His strength is made perfect in my weakness. This weekend will be amazing as I embrace the shift and take a leap of faith. I will be successful. No scratch that, I AM success!

Till next time,

Cassie
