Day 64. I have chosen to live intentionally toward the goals, dreams and desires God has placed on my heart for the last 90 days of this year, pressing past fear, excuses and discomfort toward fullness of life as we countdown to 2020. Day 64: preparation.
Day 64 was a day of preparation. I created lists and timelines. It was strategic and holy. It invited me to lean into friendships for accountability. It invited me to be brave and name aloud the God-given dream I’ve been avoiding…deferring. It invited me to be humble, “Lord, I can only do this with you…and I am scared to death!” It invited me to surrender this heavy load I have been carrying, the one which has brought me to anger and agitation in my anxious avoidance of my self-deferred dream. Yes, it is now time for action.
ACTION STEPS: Reflect on the poem below. Is there a dream you are avoiding or calling you are not moving toward because you are afraid or experiencing roadblocks? Name the roadblock. Prayerfully identify one small step of obedience you can take to pursue the dream God has placed on your heart. Make a plan. Act.
