This is an exhilerating post and one that I am elated to write.

As I discussed in an earlier post, I have been seeking God’s direction for this new level of living I am on. That direction from Him has been simply to SERVE!

“How do I serve others God?”

“Use what I have already given you.”

So I took an assessment of my skills, talents and spiritual gifts (yes, there is a difference) and then I looked at my passions and my personality. What I discovered was that my passions lay in direct correlation with helping others.

• I am passionate about helping others to heal from the pain of abuse in any form. Being a survivor of molestation, physical and mental abuse I know the pain that comes with it. It is more than the actions that others do to you during their acts of evil. The pain goes deeper and causes one to perceive a reality that is not really there but may be all they know.

In John chapter 4, Jesus deals with a woman who needs some healing. She has been married 5 times and the man she is currently with is not her husband. She is shunned by the other women, because of her lifestyle plus she is a Samaritan. So she has to do all her work in the middle of the day when hardly anyone is around. She has no idea of Whom she is about to meet and how her life will change because of His Touch.

What goals have you pushed aside this year? How many pounds did you not lose that you vowed to at the beginning of this year? How much did you spend when you promised to stick to a budget?

With 100 days left (well 99 to be exact) it is not too late for you to lose those pounds, start that new blog, or take up a new hobby. The end of the year is near bu.

It is not the end of your dreams for this year and beyond.

So what are your dreams? What have you been putting off and saying that you will do it tomorrow?

Here are a few of mine that I am working on accomplishing in 100 days:

• Write a 30 day devotional for daily practical living
• Release an information product

Everything in me said “don’t do it” but for some reason I knew I was suppose to.  Nothing really made sense about it, yet I knew it was from God.  What you’re wondering, the leap of faith I was about to take.  Though it was hard to rationalize, understand or see clearly I knew I had to take it.  I was going to “step out of my comfort zone and into God’s hands”.  I was going to let go of my life and put it in to God’s hands.

Everyone should have a set of rules they live by to help guide their lives. For me the Bible is my ultimate rule book but overtime I have take the wisdom I have gained and created a few that for me all tie back to God and His Word anyway. Here are my rules to live by:

• Seek First the Kingdom of God. For me this means that I have add God to every part of my life, making sure that where I am at any given moment is where He intends for me to be. Only by doing what He says will my life be blessed beyond compare.
