Throughout the journeys of life there are different times and seasons we will walk through. We will never stay in the same place our whole lives, and if we did stay, we could possibly be missing out on each journey God has in store for us.
There were many years that passed where I had felt hopeless and mediocre. I saw myself as that a girl who just wasn’t all that great at anything. I was “just OK” at many different things…

The last blog post I wrote was on receiving vision for your life. Today’s blog is about stepping and moving into the vision that the Lord gives you.
