My Pastor William Murphy iii told us that this was the year of birthing!!!! Well as a mom myself I understand the process of preparing for delivery, the preparation is something that a womans body goes through on its own, she doesnt have much say in the matter but the woman does have the responsibility to govern herself, her behavior and her mindset accordingly. Well thats where we are in the Body, God wants us to SEE IT this year, but He is giving us some responsibilities and as I read on January 30th
Proverbs 6:6-11 NLT (Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from thier ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber)
I was reminded that even the ants are at times wiser than some of us as it relates to preparation and taking responsibility, the Word tells us to learn from the ways of the ants. They have no one to rule over them and remind them to prepare or to just do right. We have Pastors, mentors, teachers, parents, friends, clergy leadership, spiritual mothers and fathers...etc But when do we stop just hearing them and really listen and make the change a real change and then become consistent until WE SEE THE MANIFESTATION. We have been fasting and reading but we must take the responsibility to be diligent. Pastor and no other entity is over our shoulder to make sure we are reading or fasting for that matter, it is a personal responsibility that is birthed through a commitment we have made to God. So I encourage you to stop and review the past 33 days and look what changes you have made but maybe slacked off because things got worse instead of better, or you just became complacent or distracted, what have you heard and not acted on? Lets all get back on track and fight against complacency and distractions so WE CAN REALLY SEE IT!!! Lets pick up that new realm of responsibility that God has for us. No its not comfortable and no it doesnt feel good all the time, but the Fight is fixed this year so you are assured the VICTORY!

Very, very inspirational and true! No one is watching over our shoulder, but God sees all! What a blessing when we do what we are supposed to do because we love God! Sis. Joanne T.
