I had a wonderful New Year's Eve with friends and church family. Last night's and today's service spoke to me more than I can express. The one thing about this new year that keeps standing out to me is that I need to proclaim and claim my expectations, submit my will, own my choices, and receive God's blessings.
My expectations circle around Positude Ministries. Posi-fit class begins this week on Wednesday at Crossroads Fellowship in Schulenburg, TX. The class will be focused on building a strong, positive temple for God's glory and use. We will have some Bible time and reflection along with a variety of physical activity. This is one piece to the diverse Positude pie. I have taught aerobic classes for over 20 years including old school floor, step, kick boxing, water, and circuits. It is a part of who I am that I have neglected for 3 years.
I have almost finished the Positude book proposal to send out to publishers. Likewise, I have a few more pieces to add to the book before it is completed. I need someone to support the website, edit for me, and help facilitate ministry engagements and training opportunities. God will send that person.
I know that my Brother-in-law and sister are key leaders in Positude ministries. God will tie this ministry and its' diverse components of Fitness, Faith, Fortitude, Fulfillment, Fight, Fellowship, Forgiveness, Freedom, Favor, and many other F's all together through the leadership team. Positude embodies so many components of being an active believer who not only seeks God's word and guidance but then carries out positive actions of faith.
There is no longer going to be a separation of my personal life and my calling. It is all a part of one life that has to support all components of God's will for me. So, if God means for a prince to come into my life, then that prince better be prepared for a life in ministry. God has laid the vision for Positude Ministries on me. I can see it, and I know that it is going to take a very strong leader to ever be able to step into this with me. God will equip the right prince who will not be afraid of public scrutiny, who will know how to manage money and investments, who will not be prejudice against any people from any walk of life, who will feel comfortable with a life of transparency and brokenness before God and man, who will feel comfortable speaking to large groups of people, who will be a spiritual leader, who will burn with a passion and love for sharing Christ, who will boldly proclaim the word of God, who will serve and minister to others, and who will love me and my children in thought, word, and deed. That prince will exhibit the fruits of the spirit and modern day knighthood. He will not be afraid of life in His trenches. That prince may or may not exist, and that is going to have to be well with my soul.
I will be bold. I will stand firm. In times of weakness, I will look around the trenches for my fellow soldiers and embrace their prayer and love. I will stand in the gap for others, and I will receive intercession from the gap for me. God has a plan and a purpose that is greater than my understanding, but He is showing me little by little that it will come together. I receive healing for my broken heart. I will leave grief and loneliness at the cross with fear and insecurity. It's not easy in the trenches, but I am not alone. I am never alone.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
