“It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence liberates others.”

God’s Word

spoke to me today…"Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest." Psalm 126:5-6

I went to NYC last weekend to celebrate with my sister church as they gave God glory for 1 year of existence on the Lower East Side. I had a great time. I was encouraged by the words of Pastor Curtis Douglas of Dabar Worship Center. I sat next to Jeremy’s dad, Pastor Rick Del Rio and he also gave me some chewy nuggets from his days of church planting (when it wasn’t the thing to do).

God confirmed in my heart to keep at this even if it is not going according to ‘my’ plan. His plan is the one that will prevail and I was remained of that. This Psalm spoke to my life because since there are days when I cry doing what I do, I know there is coming a day when … the tide will turn and I will see the harvest. Praise God.
