As we head into summer there are lots of changes going on all around us. Lots of new adventures and projects lined up that I'm so very excited about. I have started an Etsy Shop, Mrs. Mae Monogram Shop. I have taken my hobby of embroidery and applique and started selling custom onesies, burp cloths, minky blankets, car seat tents, Boppy covers, towels, pillows and anything else you can imagine. Plus I am in the process of taking a really great sermon that was preached at church and turning it into a book. I have been a busy girl.
With all these new projects there have been some ups and downs.There have been days where I have sat down to work and nothing comes out right. It is so frustrating, and the first thing that comes to mind is I can't do this, and I want to just quit. I am sure you have had the same feeling, when you put your hand to do something.
So whats a girl to do. I have come to the realization that if you want to be good at something you have to just keep going no matter how many failures you have. It may be frustrating, but the enemy wants you to quit. Satan does not want anything you do to be a success.He wants you to feel defeated, a failure, and worthless.You can't take those thoughts though. I constantly have to remind myself about what God says that I am. That is what you need to do too. When thoughts of discouragement start to well up, shut them down with what Gods Word says about you.
God says" you are more than an over comer". The Word says "greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world". Deuteronomy 30:9 says "And the Lord, thy God will make thee abound in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body and in the fruit of thy beasts and in the fruit of thy land, for good; for the Lord will turn to rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers."
That's a good word. that covers you, your children, your businesses, your household, all that you do. Then in the end it says that the Lord will "turn to rejoice over thee for good". I will take that!
When things just don't seem to be going your way, stop and remind yourself what God says about you. Don't allow set backs to knock you down. Be determined that you will succeed. You are capable, intelligent, and more than able. You can do it. When things start to go wrong , just begin to thank God for his presence and anointing on your life. Watch how quickly things will change. You were created to have dominion over every area of your life, except nothing less. When you decide that you are going to live above circumstances is when you will see that things begin to work together for your good, just as God has promised.
I'm determined. I have made up my mind that what I put my hand to will prosper. I believe that everything you do will prosper as well. I'm very excited about all that God is doing in our lives. I know He has great things in store for you as well, as you pursue your purpose, and seek Him.
Know that you are loved, and I believe goodness, mercy and favor; surround you everywhere you go.
