Happy and BLESSED New Year!! We have so much to look forward to in 2025 – but you need to ask yourself, "What am I expecting for this year?"
I know many people make a vision board or vision list – and those are good… AS LONG as YOU are EXPECTING those things to happen!! Let me explain. Too many times people make vision boards or vision lists, but they do it from a place of "I HOPE these things will happen", and not from a place of "I KNOW these things will happen."
Along those same lines, you also have the people that make these boards or lists, but then once they put those things down, they do nothing else… they give God absolutely NOTHING to work with! Let me explain – let's say you are believing for a car. You may find the exact make, model, and year that you are wanting – cut out the picture – or write it in a vision book, and even confess a scripture about God providing all your needs. But if that is all you ever do, you won't get the car. Why? Because there is no "action"! Do you have a place to park it? Have you factored in the new insurance rate and adjusted your finances to cover the higher cost? Are you out test driving that make and model to make sure you actually enjoy driving it?
You see, too many times, we know what we want, but we don't count the cost (Luke 14:28) – or make any action movements that say we truly believe that we are going to have what we are believing for (James 2:26)!!
Sooo – dust yourself off, sit down with the Holy Spirit, and really assess where your faith level is for what you are envisioning, and then put action to that faith!!
This month kicks off our first event of year, and I sure hope you are planning to attend (see details below), A Radiant Night with Aubrey Mitchell – taking place Thursday, January 9th!!
I love you!
Pastor Cathy
