What a powerful word to shift our hope and perspective. Rather than giving up, throwing in the towel, walking away……..set your eyes to it is still possible. Yet means there is the possibility so don’t shut the door. I have never considered the power of this word for my attitude. Stephen Furtick spoke of it in a podcast that I listened to this morning. There are those words that change when we see them through different eyes.
Yet~continue believing
Enough~you are
Scatter~pour over others
And several others that we could add to this list. Often people will get them tattooed on their wrist to remind themselves of the power of a word. This word of hope gives us grace for what we have yet to accomplish, yet to control, yet to fix in our lives.
Most of you know that God put it on my heart to start a podcast almost two years ago. Then long covid took over my life and my lungs. It has made me beat myself up that the podcast has yet to be launched. I feel like I have not kept my promise to put this out into the world. But this morning I had grace for myself with this simple three letter word. That the podcast is not recorded does not mean there has not been movement toward releasing it. I have written the dialogue for the first few as well as prayed continuously for direction. I am believing there will be a podcast to share my story and hopefully that of others. It just hasn’t happened yet. Stepping Out With Jesus is God’s given name for this platform and that is secured. Step one accomplished in 2023. Now to pray that 2025 may be the year that someone can find it out in the world not just in my head and my heart. 
What are you supposed to keep believing in? That hasn’t been accomplished or healed yet. Reconnecting with a family member. Finally, putting away the bad habit that has haunted you for too long? Or being intentional about being in His Word on a regular basis. Give yourself the hope that you don’t need to give up but realize that it just hasn’t happened yet. Of course, it is up to us to get off our butts and make things happen most of the time. So I will need to plug the microphone that I purchased into my computer and figure it out. And you need to take the first step or next step to getting where you want or need to go. But praying for timing and direction is doing something toward your goal. Believe in yourself rather than beating yourself up for not being further along in the process. Let love and kindness be the motivation in all you do. 1 Corinthians 16:14 is not just how we are to treat others but also how we need to treat ourselves. In the meantime, I will let you know when you can toon into my podcast until then pray for me and I will continue praying for each of you and your journeys.
In Him,
Joyful
