I’m not going to lie, the past few months, no, years I have been feeling all but motivated. I’ve forgotten how to dream. I guess you can say that I have been on auto pilot. The dreams I once had have gone from a grape to a raisin.
Today, I read that you can make shriveled raisins plump again. However, it’s not the same thing as turning them back into grapes. The process of making a raisin changes the fruit at a molecular level. But, when a raisin was placed in a bowl of water overnight it became an antioxidant grape!
This actually helped me to see things differently. God did not create me to dry up. No, he made me, and you, in His image. We allow past hurts or current struggles get in the way of believing in anything. So we get stuck in our pain. It becomes hard to think clearly.
You see, the process of having faith and believing in God and His son Jesus Christ, changes the molecular level of our spirit. You will be renewed and full of life. This life was never promised to be perfect. You will go through hard times that tests you on your deepest level. But, God has already prepared you for this. Trust Him.
I had been trying to figure out the next steps in my life. One morning, I just asked God to open a door of opportunity for me. Out of a regular conversation with my husband an idea for a business came to me. I stepped out on faith and went for it. God has been blessing my steps along the way. It is amazing how He works!
God is preparing you for Himself. Step out on faith and trust His plan.
