He who observes the wind [and waits for all conditions to be favorable] will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4
This verse totally caught my eye this morning. How much do we not do, because we don't feel like all the "details" are perfectly aligned? Are there opportunities we have missed out on due to our "this might not be the right time" mentality? Some great achievements require an even greater faith...blind faith, as my friend Heather calls it. Trust continues to be the common denominator.
Joyce Meyer comments:
When the Lord asks any of us to do something, we can be tempted to wait for a convenient season, at time when "all conditions are favorable." I encourage you to be a person who is not afraid of responsibility and who does not procrastinate when God speaks. If you do only what is easy, you will always remain weak; but as you meet resistance and overcome, YOU WILL BUILD YOUR STRENGTH.
That's some good stuff! I had to share :)

Hello Priscila, I've been reading your blog lately and whatever turmoil that you are going through during this period of your life the end result will probably be in your best interest.. Sometimes in life what we think is best for us isn't always the right stuff.. You are definately on the right track in trusting GOD. He has a plan for you.
Thats some real good stuff. I can say that there are times where I hesitate. And later end up regretting having done so.
Thank you so much for encouraging me to not be afraid, (and you know exactly what I mean by that) lol. Don't forget that He knows what Hes doing.
That's definitely something to take to heart!!
