I headed out this past weekend for mission feeling completely exhausted, defeated and ready to throw my hands in the air and just worship God. My tank was on empty my net was empty I needed Jesus to refill my tank.

The truth is, like some of you, I struggle with some anxiety and comparison. I don’t sound like others when I pray or even speak in general. You rarely hear speak loud while praying! Inside me God has always build my inner man to preach like never before.

Public speaking and standing up for something, especially if it is opposite someone smarter than me or someone I consider more qualified, has always been terrifying to me. It was just so much easier to sit back and let others handle the hard things. After all, I have nothing to offer.God can change your humble beginning.

Let me tell you, the enemy knows our weaknesses. He is watching. He is always looking for who he can devour, so pay attention.

Years ago, I clearly recall the moment I ran off the stage of my 4th grade class play, completely overwhelmed and scared out of my mind. I didn’t even have a speaking part. I literally walked on and ran to the other side and off the stage as fast as I could.

Here we are, many years later and the enemy is trying to remind me of the MONTHS and MONTHS I spent as an adult, TRAPPED IN MY VERY OWN HOME, too afraid to leave. He is continually trying to tell me I should have stayed there, locked away. I never should have left. No one wants to hear from me and they certainly do not respect me. I am not enough, and never will be.

The enemy wants us to feel worthless and less than, he is counting on it. He wants us to remember our worst moments. He wants to remind each of us of every hurtful thing someone has ever done to us, said about us, as well as said to us. Especially the junk that came from those we love and respect the most.

Listen, the enemy knows he can’t really hurt us or even slow us down if he uses a stranger or someone we do NOT respect. So, he will often use those that are most important or closest to us.

The devil wants us to forget what God says about us and what HE has called us to. He wants to drown out every good word spoken over us and to us. But he is a LIAR!

DO YOU HEAR ME? THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!

I am enough, because He is in me. I am healed, I am whole and I am called. His work in me and through me is what qualifies me. Nothing more, and nothing less, JUST JESUS!

So today, this morning, I throw my hands in the air. Not because I quit, but because HE is worthy and His ways are always higher than my own. He has provided me with ALL that I need to continue.

This weekend what I needed was rest and people who love me enough to help me keep my arms lifted in the mission. I needed people who love me enough to keep me focused on Jesus and His great love for us ALL. I needed people to pour into me, laugh with and at me and praise Jesus with me.

Make sure you have these kind of people. People who really love you and love Jesus. People who truly want you to know who you are in CHRIST JESUS!

THANK YOU, thank you so much, to each of you that I can call on. The friends and family that made time to be present this weekend, and those that have been there for me in the past and will continue to be there in the future.People who pin you down and see nothing good can come out Bethelem God is doing great things.

I am BLESSED beyond measure to be surrounded and loved by God.

Philippians 4:19
New Living Translation
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
