One of my spiritual gifts is discernment, and I am finally learning to trust it. This past summer I was in an extremely toxic work environment, but I HATE change and felt like God had me there for a reason. After an incident with the manager I felt like God was clearly telling me to leave. 3 days later I was self-employed, and I have never been happier. Its so out of my character to do something “knee-jerk” like that, but I am so glad I listened!

In reply to Debra Alexander. I'm so happy to hear this! You can do it for sure. And yes, the world is so hungry for that message of hope! That it comes from HIM. And I'll pray with you for HIM to bring you the people who need to hear your message.

In reply to ~Karrilee~.

Yes Karrilee. You should know that writing it out is a GREAT practice. The real key is to read it over and over and over and practice it until it becomes so natural you’re not reading it – you should be able to just have a few key points on a notecard to keep you on track. Practice is so important! I’m glad to hear you are doing that and yet staying open. I know God tends to move most when we are already in motion. 🙂 …And I actually have given the speech that I did give probably 8-9 times before, (or more) so I had practiced it quite a bit before. Good luck with your program. I’m sure it will be fabulous! 🙂

In reply to Amanda. Glad to hear this resonated with you Amanda. Sometimes we will NEVER KNOW the outcome, but I think it's still best to act on those instincts.

I am feeling my gut right now! I believe by doing this Fear Not series that we are missing a great ingredient in the Body of Christ – encouraging one another to break through fear and reach out for our destiny. I believe I am to start gathering women together to share their wildest dreams and to help each other reach those dreams. Yikes! don’t even know one person to ask.

This is so timely! I set aside time all weekend, here and there, to work on an upcoming workshop I am teaching at the end of March. I haven’t done a lot of public speaking and feel the Lord is calling both my husband and I into more of this… but my tendancy is to write it out exactly how I want to say it (because, I’m a writer and I want the words in order!) However, then I end up reading it more than simply talking. It’s my comfort zone. But this weekend, whenever I would sit to get to work, He would whisper, “Don’t over prepare!” and I would feel like it’s too soon. I believe He wants us to be prepared – but oh the freedom of not being so tied to something that we are willing and able to change it up at a moments’ notice (or the Spirits’ prompting!) I love this!

So often I don’t follow my gut but I need to be better about that.
When I have followed my gut, I have seen some really cool things happen.
I need to pay more attention to those moments! 🙂

Sometime I feel led to do something and I try to take action and get discouraged when I don’t see a response, but just because I don’t see it doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth doing. I loved the baseball/softball story. So interesting. I am going to keep trying to listen to my gut.
