Validation

People all over with a "call" are waiting to be "validated" by man.  God already validated you when He chose you, when He saved you.  Be assured He has called you, you're not inadequate.  He has and will continue to equip you.  Go forth in your calling in 2012, keep Him first, keep your ear in tune to his voice and proceed.  Validation from man will come when God appoints someone.  Until then... use your gift.

Press On

Lord, thank you for bringing us saints out of our slumber/bondage.  Yes, we will recover all, overcome and flourish this year BUT we will have to push through some pain.  It's day three and I'm still pushing through pain from January 1st.  Press on, no matter the obstacles, physical pain, mental anguish or appearance of issues... press on.
