Set The Table

Heyyyyyyy!!! My grandma always says "hey is for horses" but I like the saying! Welcome back if you've been here before andddd Welcome if it's your 1st time visitng!

On Tuesday I went to a women[s conference annddd man was it blessed! I love being able to take away something that I can use and that I can bless other people with. Before I sat down to write this I was thinking about how I prayed and prayed for this blog and I have been seriously slacking on making posts. HS reminded me of a text that my mother sent me stating "there is something that you have let fall to the wayside: An assignment, calling, project, task, etc. whatever it is you have let it go or placed on the back burner. Pick it up! Make it a priority! Your time is NOW!!! What you don't water will wither away and die." I feel like somebody needed to hear that! What you don't water WILL die! I mentioned that because I felt like not only did I need that but I know someone else did!!

Now, back to what you came here for. At the women's conference the Pastor was telling a story about how when she was younger her mom and dad would sometimes be out of work at the same time and they sometimes struggled with making ends meet. This one particular time she heard noises and she saw her mom crying and praying. Her mother never told anyone that she didn't know what she was going to feed her childeren. The only people that knew their situation was her parents, now her, and God. The Pastor then stated that her mother procedeed to take out out pots and pans not even knowing what she was going to prepare. Shortly after her mother took out the pots and pans they heard knocks on the door when they opened the door it was the church members and they had bags of food in their hands.

Let's pause here and thank God for a moment! The fact that there were people that were so in tune to hearing Gods voice that they knew where a need was, and the people in need never uttered a word! What an amazing God it is that we serve!!!

1. God knows what we need before we do- Matthew 6:8 Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.

2. Set the table for the blessings that you want to receive

3. Numbers 21:16 Bring the people together, and I will give them water - Tell God what you need and he SHALL provide

Numbers 21:16 speaks to me stating once you know what you want to do it's time to set the table. Set up for the things that you want to do. Nothing happens while you sit and do nothing. The Pastors mother had no idea on where the food was going to come from but she set the table/pots and pans anyway and LOOK AT GOD!!! He fulfilled her request because she showed faith and positioned herself anyway! How often do you just sit and wait for God to drop something in your lap? I'll raise my hand now! There have been plenty of times where I have prayed and didn't do anything after the prayer.

Heyyyyyyy it's time to Pray and act! If you have a blog, write and post your blogs, if you have a YouTube post your videos, if you want to lead a bible study class then lead one. Do what it is that God has called you to do! My BFF and I were talking last night and she mentioned something along the lines of "time will keep moving whether you decide to do the thing or not."

I pray that you were blessed reading this and that you send this post to someone that it may help.
