I've heard this phrase many times growing up and it always came with a negative connotation. It repeats many times in my head while trying to figure out my next step in life. I've been stuck in the valley of indecision for the last two years trying to figure out what that will be? Event designer? Caterer? Mother? Interior designer? Stylist? I've chatised myself for being "flighty" as my mother would say or unfocused and wayward. Afraid my husband would say "oh boy! what's the new idea now?" And yes while it can be dangerous to juggle too many projects without completing any, I know that there's nothing wrong with being talented in several areas. I know its a blessing but the enemy has convinced me that it's a curse. Fear has stood in the way of my decision to whole- heartedly choose anything because I'm afraid it will be the wrong one!
But I heard Bishop T.D. Jakes say something today that resonated with me:
"Don't let people put a period, where God has put a comma".
In other words, you can do everything God has given you the capacity to do. For some its one thing i.e, Tiger Woods and golf. For others its multiple endeavors i.e, Bishop Jakes and minister, author, movie producer. If you have a passion inside you for a host of things- do it ALL and let history define it! If it's in God's will he will make your paths straight. Just get MOVING!
I'm listening Holy Spirit, I'm listening...
