A NEW SEASON OF COURAGE

Joshua 1:9 GW
"I have commanded you, 'Be strong and courageous! Don't tremble or be terrified, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.'"

Last year I published my first inspirational book, VALUABLE. In a nutshell, VALUABLE is a  resource that provides a biblical foundation for developing healthy self-esteem. The premise of the book is that in God's eyes you are valuable because He sees you as a:
Victorious Accepted Loved Understood Affirmed Blessed Liberated Expression of His Grace. The initial launch and book signing was exciting, but I had no idea of the additional work involved in getting it out there. However, with a lot of help from family and friends, it has gotten into the hands of a lot of people. 
The response has been very positive. In fact after receiving numerous comments and much prayer, I felt my next step of ministry was start a class based on the book. The decision to have a class was made last summer. However, the courage to actually set a date to begin, came much later. Procrastination set in.

Often we have great ideas, goals and dreams, even God inspired ones that won't see the light of day due to a lack of courage to pursue them. Procrastination, fear of failure and or rejection, short circuit the drive to move forward into our God given value and destiny.

I have decided in this new season, to take courage and trust God more than I ever have before. My new class, VALUABLE Lessons and Dialogue, begins January 11, 2014. Yes I am nervous but I know it's what I am supposed to do. I have to trust God with the outcome.

In 2014, I encourage you to be courageous and  purpose to go after what you know God has for you!

Be refreshed!
