GO Beyond Your Comfort Zone

As a Leader, we need to be consistantly moving forward. It's brilliant getting to know your area of ministry very well but never come to a place of such comfort that you aren't catching the beautiful waves of God moving us into our tomorrow's His way. With this in mind, this causes me to stop and really thinking about what I am doing from time to time, why am I doing it, what is the purpose, is it Kingdom work? It’s time that we re-evaluate what we are doing and why. If you have become too comfortable in what you are doing, then it’s time to connect with God in ways you’ve never done before. Pursue Him deeper, stronger, more fervently than you ever have. When you read in the O.T. you will find that God was a risk taker and never played it safe. He always did things with greatness, with purpose, and with deep passion. The beat of His heart is one thing: people. As you cultivate this deeper walk, find His heartbeat and be motivated to love and reach your girls and community in ways like never before!

My challenge to you as a Leader is this – get a blank piece of paper and sign it. Don’t fill in the blanks of what you want to do, what your agenda will be – instead, get out of the boat and start walking in faith and leave the page blank to allow God, your Father, to take you on a journey you’ve never experienced this year. I promise you one thing, He WILL fill in the blanks and when He gives you guidance that is when you can write it on the blank page. Living a life on the edge is what will connect you to His heart, His passions, His dreams, His desires and will CONNECT you to His people – the ones that live in the cities and towns that you live in. Compassion leads you to action…God is actively moving forward…move with Him.
