Destiny - You Just HAVE to 3-2-14
By Lenzia Sampson Fielder

I heard a woman say in a movie a few years back, "We women may not always get to do what we WANT to do, but we always do what we HAVE to do".  This really sat with me, because it's so true.  God brought this back to my mind and began speaking about this.  Destiny is when these things merge or fuse...what you WANT to do is what you HAVE to do.  You come to a place when you understand your purpose, that urgency is placed on you.  You begin to think about it more than ever, people begin to cross your path that recognize it, people want to help you and see you succeed in your destiny.  It's an interesting place.  We become so accustomed to doing what we HAVE to do, that we forget to even think about what we WANT to do, our desires and dreams.  We get busy nurturing and caring for everyone else, that we forget to take care of ourselves, we forget to ask ourselves what we want.  We sometimes lose who we are inside to the person we HAVE TO BE.  After all, they need us.  The tricky part is that as much as everyone else needs us, we need ourselves. 

We must make ourselves available to the power of Almighty God.  When we do this, we open ourselves to possibilities and opportunities.  In life, I've found that possibilities are not always opportunities.  Within destiny, it's important that we follow clear instruction from God, no less than that.  Sometimes we believe we have all the instruction that we need, and we run with it from there, but it's necessary and vital to CONTINUE listening and receiving instruction.  When we continue to listen, we don't lose connection, but when we get a little instruction and run from there, we often disconnect from God and our desiny.  As women, we think that we know exactly what to do in situations, we often function well at spur the moment and emergency situations, because that ability has been placed in us, we are multifaceted!  When this flows over into doing what God has called us to do, we are in a dangerous place, because we are often guilty of taking God out of OUR equation...we take over and have the attitude of "I'll take it from here, God".  There's one thing that we can count on, and that's God being right there with us, when we know, when we understand, when we THINK we know, when we THINK we understand, and when we're unsure.  You're never alone in what God has called you to do.  Rest in the peace of Jeremiah 29:11 that says "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  He knows the plans, and He'll help you every step of the way to carry out your destiny!  You may feel overwhelmed, but be encouraged.  God's got you, and you WILL succeed.  Keep going!

Go for it! :)
