Living Beneath Your Potential

In my last post, I mentioned how I was tired of living beneath my potential. Anybody ever feel this way? I have so much potential in me. Our youth group has so much potential! Our music group has so much potential! But we continually let things distract us, or become burdened down with the cares of life. When I started this blog, I told you that you were going to find some things out about me. Well, hold on to the seat of your pants (or skirt!) but I used to write poetry and although I have never written any down on paper, I have had songs written in my mind. And about a year ago, I started writing a book!! But where are they?!! How many people could I have already reached with those things?! I will tell you. God is doing something in my life that I can't explain, but I am no longer satisfied with the status quo. God has placed so much in me that I feel like I will burst if I don't get it out!! It's like the fire that was shut up in Jeremiah!! If you don't let it out it will consume you. What would happen if our church, our youth group, our music department, Sunday School, etc. became so entirely focused on releasing their potential and letting God use them without question? We would have a revival like never before!! If you are reading this and God has placed a desire in your heart to do something specific, DO IT!! Don't keep putting it off! Even if it sounds crazy! I know nothing about writing a book or writing music! But there is a song in my heart! And there is a praise in my heart and I have to get it out, as the song goes. The Bible says that you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you! Don't fear and don't doubt, just walk in the fact that God is God and He is Right!
