And her tombstone read...

Think about this for a moment would you, if someone was left to create your tombstone today, what would be the identifying sentence or two that sums your life on a piece of marble for eternity? The late Myles Monroe once said, "The wealthiest place in the world is a graveyard because there sits the dreams that were never released and the desires that never came forth that have been buried into the ground. There sit businesses that were suppose to start but never came to fruition.There sit the books that were suppose to be written that were never penned to the page. Things that people were called to do, but they sat scared and lazy on the sidelines watching everybody else do it. It is a place full of people who thought, "Maybe I'm born for more, but maybe I'm just born with this capacity. Maybe I'm just born to sit on the sidelines." I'm not a sideline liner, white line hugger or bench warmer, I want in, I want all in! We have to remove our self inflicted mental caps and become the people who God has called us to be, His children without limitations. 

Our Father has given each spiritual gifts and He wants to work in you and through you to shape you in to who you are. Sometimes, at least for me, knowing what my spiritual gifts are is hard. How do you identify your gifts? I still struggle with this question and for me I wish there was a self instructional guild or checklist that I could use to help me better narrow it or them down. I think I know what some of the are, I'm not saying I'm absolutely lost with what He's given me I would just like to feel comfortable in knowing that I'm using them to the full capacity He would want me to. Have you thought about yours? 1 Corinthians 1:7

I'm very excited about this next season in my life and I'm pray that if our gifts are measured in volume, that at the end when it's my time to go Home that I will have used everything that He has given to me. We serve an Ephisians 3:20 God, so let us open the businesses we're supposed to open, pen the books that are supposed to be written and go bravely and say yes to the things we were called to do. Our Father who if He had a wallet would have our picture in it, wants infinitely more for us than we could imagine. So don't let the lack of desire or sideline excuse stop you from becoming who He has created you to be. Don't let your spiritual wealth get buried in the ground and don't have the tombstone read "if they only would have."...let the Author of your life be the one who at the end says, "Well done good and faithful servant." Speak prophetically over your life as you have the power to shape your destiny with your words.

Philippians 4:13
