Today is your breakthrough!

Today is the day to have your breakthrough. Choose it! And, remember, just because no one has done what you are meant to do doesn't mean you can't. Maybe, just maybe, God was waiting for you to be the first.

When we don't have the right voices in our head, it is typically because we don't have the right voices in our lives.  Do we place doubts in our hearts?  Usually our doubt comes from an outside source ~ we are listening to those who want to keep you down.

The CRAB effect!

If we only listened to ourselves (shutting off those who doubt, the situations that failed before us), we would believe we could do anything ~ just like our mommas told us!

So, we go from WE CAN! to Why Bother?

Please let me share with you 2 stories...

1)  Roger Banister ~ the first man to run a 4-minute mile.  With everyone telling him it was impossible, he would die, there is no way ~ HE DID IT!  

2)  Jesus brings a little girl back to life ~ Mark 5:35-43.  This story was shared a few weeks ago at my church and wow, it proves we, as human beings, give up on hope way too quickly.  

While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler.  "Your daughter is dead," they said.  "Why bother the teacher any more?"  Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."  He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John.  When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.  He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."

But they laughed at him.  After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.  He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which mean Little girl I say to you, get up!) Immediately the girl stood up and walked around. At this they were completely astonished. 

He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. (Mark 5:35-43)

This story is so powerful because the little girl's father went to see Jesus ~ to ask for healing touch for his sick daughter.  While he was in line, someone cut in front of him ~ and during that time, the daughter "died". 

Yet, Jesus didn't lose hope.  He knew a miracle was about to happen.  He boldly took action.  

We give up on hope ... because we are scared to hope, it can hurt, we are scared to believe.  We don't want to bother the teacher.

GET THE NEGATIVE VOICES OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND OUT OF YOUR LIFE!

BOLDLY DARE TO ASK THE TEACHER! BOLDY TAKE ACTION ~  because when you hope, you have a miracle in progress!
