Have you ever had that feeling that you were being called to live a bigger life than the one you are currently living? I don't mean "BIGGER" in terms of material things. Nope. I'm not talking about cars, homes, shoes, clothes, jewelry or anything else you can buy with the almighty dollar. What I'm talking about is quite different than that.
By bigger life I mean, a life where the focus is on WHEN, and not IF.
One in which you ask Why not? instead of Why?
A life in which you are not afraid to say YES as much as you say NO or one in which you are not afraid to say NO as much as you say YES.
One where you don't feel guilty about standing up for yourself.
A life where playing small just doesn't feel right anymore. It's like trying to rekindle that relationship with a size10 when you're clearly better "suited" for a size14. It's just down right uncomfortable.
A life during which you have fewer regrets, but instead are hoping for more Do-Overs.
A life where the past no longer has power over you.
Where you are able to forgive others...including yourself.
A life where you are not afraid to have vision and share that vision. Where you dare to SEE yourself living the life God has promised you.
Where you lean towards life instead of away from it.
A life where you refuse to let fear get in the way of anything...and when it does, you do it anyway because you know that God's got you.
A life where you learn to trust that still, small whisper-like voice telling you, "Yes girl, you deserve to have love, peace, joy, forgiveness, prosperity, happiness."
It feels like a tug on your subconsciousness. Sometimes though, it's more like a yank or a pull!
It sounds like someone whispering in your ear...quietly...pleading with you to HAVE FAITH. TRUST. LET IT GO. LIVE.
This is how I have been feeling lately. I'm learning to respond to that tug and that whisper because I know that God is pulling me towards a life that is larger than any life I could ever imagine for myself. I am grateful for the opportunity and I'm ready. -traci
