The fizzle and sabotage' factors

OK so I have been dealing with what I call the fizzle and sabotage' factors.

The fizzle factor is when I get all excited about something/someone and then after like 2 or 3 weeks of it, the thrill is gone. If I get bored with or the something/someone requires too much work, I am quick to drop it!!

The sabotage' factor is when I am doing well with something, people start acknowledging it, and recommend me to the masses, I automatically stop doing well. I become slack because now I feel like people are putting responsibility on me and now I MUST deliver. When a sister is pressured in this fashion, I just revert back to laziness.

What God is showing me is all of it is based on FEAR!!! The fizzle and sabotage' factor do not rule me. Being more than a conqueror means I master my weaknesses.

I am not going to be controlled by these two bammas - Fizzle and sabotage'. The ONLY way to overcome any weakness is to repent, submit and obey!!!!

God continues to encourage me. He keeps telling me not to grow weary in my well doing because I will reap if I FAINT not!!!! Galatians 6:9
The Greek word for faint mean to loose, unloose, to set free, to exhaust, to relax one's strength, to be deprived of strength through exhaustion, to be tired out, and to feel or show extreme discouragement, depression or dejection.

Remember - FAINT NOT!!!!!!

Singing On the road again....

Well I am writing this blog while chilling in my 2nd home - RDU International Airport. I never thought when I joined my corporation 13 years ago I would be doing all this traveling.

As a young 23 year old graduate I thought I owned the world and I could conqueror anything. Now as a 36 year old seasoned professional, I still have those same thoughts but I just accomplish them by methods that will please the Lord.

Sometimes we sit on the sidelines of life and view what others are doing thinking in the back of our head YEAH I could, should, and would do that BUT!!!! I don't want to be one of those people. I have learned to be one of the people to think and say do I CAN, WILL, and DO in spite of.

Yes, we all have some aspect of our lives that we could use as excuses to keep us in the former category of people, BUT don't let that stop you from being all that God called you to be.

Being on the road for work could be used as my excuse to complain about life but I believe I would probably not be as people-oriented if I did not have the experiences I have had. Being on the road allows me to understand more about me, increase my network and MOST importantly be the light in this world.

So YES I am singing on the road again and I am glad about it!!!
