Gratitude

Tomorrow is my Hope in Him conference and I am overcome with gratitude to God. I believe this is part of preparing my heart for such a time as this. Psalm 100: 4, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise." I believe when we have a heart of gratitude, praising God we are given amazing power. A heart of gratitude releases us from bondage and unleashes abundance in our life. God will make a way to bring the desires of our heart to pass! No one and no thing can stop what God has planned for us!

I am so excited and a little scared but that is ok. How could I not be nervous when I am doing God's work? One time I was told not to let nerves be mistaken for the excitement of the Holy Spirit. I know the Holy Spirit is excited! There is no one I would rather please than Him! So with a grateful heart I have to die to myself and let Him fill me up with the Holy Spirit. He has already given me the words. Exodus 4: 12, "Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." He goes with me. Deuteronomy 31: 8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

God told me at 17 years old that tomorrow would come. He brought this vision to me and made it a desire of my heart. This summer He began preparing my heart for the specifics and told me just what to do for October 28, 2023. He brought a team together and people who would help in different ways. Thanks be to God! Psalm 20: 4, "May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." And all the glory and honor to Jesus!
