You haven't seen anything yet…
My vision is limited, Gods is vast.
My dream is small, Gods is limitless.
I watched a message this morning, and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.
The past two weeks for me have been an emotional roller coaster. I have cried, I have laughed, and I have sat confused and just thought about my future… So hopefully it won't come as a shock to you when I explain exactly why I was so moved by this message.
"What you have in mind is too small. Your plans and your goals are part of your destiny but the plans God has for you are larger than you can imagine… the amount of people that you are going to impact will boggle your mind."
"God is a progressive God. He has designed you to go further than previous generations."
"He will bring out talents that you didn't know you had, He will get you where you need to be to fulfill your destiny."
God says "Ive got something bigger for you."
His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
"Go where you've never been, Whatever you're dreaming about, God is going to supersize that dream. There is about to be a down pour of favor… Get ready for explosive blessings."
I definitely needed to hear this. I think we all need the reminder every once in a while that, no matter your dreams, no matter where you are currently… God has even bigger plans.
I haven't even seen 1/2 of what God can do! I know he will do more!
Take the limits off of God.
God sees what you can not see.
I wanted to clear a few things up from a contestants point of view…
A few days ago I received a call saying that there was a mix up in the judging at Miss Florida this past weekend. I think I was just as shocked as the other two women involved in the tabulation error. I felt sick for both of these ladies. I am very close to both Elisabeth Fechtel, and to Tori Cowen. Liz is practically a sister, she has been the sweetest, and a very supportive friend.
My heart goes out for Liz. But she is a strong woman full of grace, and she has God all over her! I know that this is a tough time, but I have no doubt that she will be back more beautiful and stronger than ever.
I grew up with Tori, our dads went to school together, and she truly has been a little sister my entire life. Tori has worked her entire life for the opportunity to compete at Miss America. I know she will be stunning on that stage in September! I am SO proud of her, and I know God has amazing plans for that beauty!
It is unfortunate that this happened, but I am honored to be a part of an organization that maintains their integrity and honesty… even when it is not easy.
There are quite a few rumors swirling around, please take the rumors and what the media has said with a grain of salt… and join me as we lift up both of these young women along with the Miss America Organization.
We are human, and people do make mistakes... but we can not allow those mistakes to define the situation.
"And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." Isaiah 58:11
