It’s graduation season! I love this time of year because of the rewards you reap for finishing strong!
Personally, at the end of each month I set a reminder in my phone to take about an hour or so to reflect on my life. During this time I will think about accomplishments, struggles, hopes and dreams. As I reflect, an overwhelming sense of excitement comes over me; because I realize that with every passing day there is room to be and do so much more.
These personal development moments remind me of a speaker I once heard at a finance conference. At the conference, she asked the question, “what's in your hands?” My initial response was to reflect on my finances...not the best at the time. But the speaker was referring to more than just money.
Our hands were made to produce. It's with our hands that we labor, create, and make. Our hands connect us to everything that we can visibly see and every thing that we look forward to seeing. Our hands have the ability to take in and also to give out.
Ideas are in my hands. Vision is in my hands. Business ventures and dreams are in my hands. The problem with it still being in my hands is I was not doing anything with it.
Have you ever had a desire to start something maybe a business, but you failed to pursue it because of fear? Or maybe you already have a great gift like cooking or singing for example, but you won't produce anything, because you doubt anyone will buy your products.
What's in your hands has everything to do with what you have agreed to release into the earth. It has everything to do with your calling, and destiny. It has everything to do with you being you.
I love what Psalms 144:1 says - Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight.
Only God can tell you and affirm what's in your hands. Why? Because he is the one who made your hands. He is the only one who can show you what to do with them.
A few weeks ago my daughter convinced me to use my hands to make a cow costume (pictured above) for her 1st grade musical. I was so nervous about it, but she was positive that I could do it - and I did! I really thank her for being a true source of inspiration and the motivator behind the creation of this blog.😊
What about you? We're already six months into the year. Why not spend the next six releasing “what's in your hands?”
My 1st mini book is completely edited. I am looking forward to sitting down with the publisher very soon! Meantime, thank you again for reading and sharing my blogs! Enjoy your summer!💗
