F.L.Y Before You SOAR


Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount of with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" 

It's MONDAY!!! Monday is typically a day where social media timelines are flooded with dreadful memes about returning to work from the weekend. Today's challenge is to not approach Monday with a sense of detestation but instead with a sense of urgency and excitement. Let's set the tone for this week with a positive mindset (determination, tenacity, and fearlessness). You've made it to this week which means there is purpose for you in today and the days that follow. There is a reason you were not defeated by anything you went through last week so keep pushing.  

This scripture on my heart while commuting to work last week because I had been experiencing unusually busy workdays. I'm a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi home of the Golden Eagles....SMTTT!!! (For those who don't know that means Southern Miss To The Top). God brought to my attention the system in which our records are accessible which was and still is called S.O.A.R. (Southern's Online Accessible Records). All the information and resources necessary for student's to successfully matriculate (SOAR) through their desired areas of study are housed within this database. Each student is given a unique login ID and a password that must be changed every 90 days which is then locked if not accessed regularly. This reminded me that God is very purposeful in how He moves in our lives. 

Here it is 7 years post my college graduation and I'm just receiving the revelation that God had set me up to soar from the very beginning, but I first had to learn how to fly as the quote says in the picture above. God serves as the "Online Accessible Records" in our lives. Everything that we need to matriculate though our lives in the purpose that He's planted within us are found though our relationship with Him. It is truly in our love for God that we are able to love ourselves enough to go against the grain to achieve everything that He has already declared over our lives. We will all encounter hours, days, weeks, or months where our own strength just isn't enough and we have to rely on God's strength to get us through. In those moments it is imperative that we are able to access God. Make sure to communicate with God regular so that you're not temporarily locked out due to neglect, inconsistency, and delinquent behavior. Don't allow what you encounter defeat you. When you can't always remember that God can. It is always said that you have to crawl before you walk, but in this case you have to F.L.Y before you SOAR!
