It's amazing what GOOD friends will do for you! They really get you thinking and keep you on the right track!
I've had some of the best conversations the past couple days especially about stepping out and doing what God has called you to.
I feel like we always wait and step out when it feels comfortable and everything is in place rather then stepping out when the waters seem rough and watch it all fall into place.
God really wants us to trust Him fully and His plan for us and if we just continue to wait until WE feel comfortable to do what He has called we'll never accomplish it or never to the potential that he has planned!
It is truly only OUR choice whether we live this life to the richest it can possibly be or just a safe(boring) life!
If God is guiding you into an area usually it is bigger than you think you can possibly do on your own. Which is His perfect plan because He doesn't want you to do it on your own in the first place! He wants to to ask for His help and wisdom! He LOVES to be needed and of course we DESPERATELY need Him especially if we hope to accomplish even just the smallest portion of all that He has called us to we'll need His help!
Sooo first. Find what areas of your life that you are holding back and waiting until you feel comfortable(because honestly you probably won't ever feel comfortable stepping out!).
Second. STEP OUT and TAKE ACTION! Really the only risk you are taking is to stay where you are...or go UP! So take your pick! :)
Third...and this should be during the whole time, ask God for His Wisdom on how to accomplish it as you step out and all along the way!
You will NEVER regret accomplishing what God has called you too! It's AMAZING and of course the most fulfilling thing!

WOW!!!
I know I've heard that so many times, but this time it was different. I see that God has called me to step out at school. I always tell Him I want a revolution in my generation, but yet I won't step out myself. My new friends she asks me why I have all this "Jesus Stuff" on my Myspace. She asks me b/c she says that at school I'm not who I say I am on Myspace. So I've realized that and I'm trying to cahnge and step out. B/c I maybe be the only light that some people will get to see. Well Thank-you for those amazing encouraging words.
I'm going to step out and not be afraid!!!
Also can you be praying for me. I'm a sophomore in HS and I'm trying to patiently wait for what God has called me to do w/my life.
Thanks!!
Gloria! Awesome! I'm so glad this post really helped you! It is soooo worth it to step out because if we want to make any kind of difference or impact we are going to have to go against the grain....which is HARD! But SO worth it in the end!
I'll definitely be praying for you! I know that God has amazing plans for your life! Just seek Him and He'll show you! He's faithful like that;)
