Step Across The Line

I did not sleep at all last night. I kept thinking about different things that God seems to be putting in my path. Part of me is excited and part of me is scared. It feels like I've been in this place before. I explained to you about my hope and dreams for "Hummingbird Haven". But I've also wrestled with the idea of having a store. My husband has room next to his car dealership but it just hasn't seem like the right place. I have an amazing friend that is designing dresses for me. She is creating dresses using God's design for women. I bet you are wondering what that means but I will explain more at a later date. She also has some unique ideas that could have only come from God. I want to have all of it in a store for women. A store that can be a place of peace and refreshing. It seems as though a door is opening up with that exact vision in mind. I've heard God tell me this store would be about healing the inside out. Which would be clothes and the outer appearance, but a place women can come in for prayer and just relax and read or talk. Could this possibly be actually happening? Could something good actually happen to me? I've waited for this for so long. I hadn't realize it but I do need it.
I am ready for something exciting and fun to happen. I am ready to enjoy life. My husband and I were praying this morning and he was praying specific words over me and I just started crying. I couldn't stop till after I was getting in the shower. I asked God what was up. And he said you are at the grieving stage of your life. It's time to grieve the things you endured and the things you missed out on. And it felt good. I felt lighter. There is a time to grieve but then we need to move on. If we stay in the grieving season for too long it causes depression and our emotions to be where they shouldn't be.
So I've grieved and now I'm ready to take that turn to the newness of happiness and life. Could it possibly be that easy? I'm praying it is. I am going to start speaking life over this newest venture that is in front of me. I'm going to speak life over our family. I'm just going to speak life in general. It would be real easy for me right now to say "Nothing ever works out for me. It does for everyone else but I was just meant to have little." I've thought that. I'm happy for everyone around me but a little part of me wishes I could be doing those things. I never realized that I actually can do them. I just need to step out and stop watching on the sidelines. I need to stop moping and actually get in the game.
I pray that if you feel like you cannot achieve your dreams, you will take a step across the line in the sand you drew a long time ago. You were never meant to sit back and watch, you were meant to participate and accomplish BIG things. Who drew the line in the sand? Was it you or someone speaking failure over you. We have word curses spoken over us as children and adults. You can break any of them by saying a quick prayer to God.
"Father I break any word curses spoken over me. I am not those words. I am a child of yours and you call me to be a beautiful person with aspiring dreams and aspirations. Release any of these word curses spoken over me in the name of Jesus, Amen."
I pray you have a blessed day full of life and hope with no boundaries stopping you from the good things God calls you to.

"Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies." Philippians 4:8-9 (The Message)
