Year of Resurrection

This past week a friend of mine and I were talking on the phone and she shared these words that the Lord had spoken to her while in the midst of her being called to things in her life: "I can do this without you. I do not need you. What I have called you to do is a GIFT."

The words were still in the air and I knew immediately that He had spoken them once again through her straight into my heart. My hubbs and I know that we have been called to do things in this next year and we are challenged...not beyond what we can handle...perhaps what those around us believe we can financially, emotionally, spiritually and physically...but I know with everything that is within me that with each day and each contact and person that I am speaking with the Lord is using them to mold our hearts to be ready for the great ride He has prepared for us.

Yesterday, our pastor shared an incredible sermon and part of it was on having a year of resurrection. There were two things that just resonated with my husband and I both and that was that those living in the POWER of resurrection live with a constant expectation of VICTORY. What a point for a sermon, huh? How can you possibly go out and feel that you can not accomplish what God has clearly called you to do with that kind of power behind you? The other awesome point that our pastor made was that the resurrection says that EVERYTHING is now possible. Everything. Telling you that there is always HOPE with Jesus. Always. Hope for every situation...everything He calls you to.

I long for this to be a YEAR of RESURRECTION for our family and that we look at everything that He is calling us to as the gift that it truly is. I am challenging myself to let go of any inhibitions or fears and be what HE sees in me alone...daughter. Our purpose here on this earth is to do what the Word says...to follow Him. I'm praying that you choose to have a year of resurrection as well as our pastor challenged us to!

Much love,
