I smell vision!

Good morning everyone,

It's 5:02 am, I've been awake for 3 hours now...while some of you were sleeping, I was up baking.

You see, what may sound crazy to some, sounds like the making of a successful vision to me... Just like our moving to Austin to start a church from scratch sounded wacky to some; to me it sounded like God birthing vision in my heart for this city and I was going to have the privelege of being a vessel in God's Big picture for Austin. Wow. Let me tell you, it has been amazing.

Back to the 2am baking-

About a month ago, I was feeling a bit complacent in my life.... dont get me wrong, my walk with God was good, ministry was well but, inside me I could not help to think; "this can't be all there is?" Isnt there something more to me Lord? What am I missing? Use me Lord- Show me Lord- Why if we are in your will do we struggle so?

So, I've been praying for direction in 2 areas, financial & speaking about the Lord.

I've been given opportunity to speak (preach) but have always felt like there was someone better fit for the job so I would dodge it at all costs! Disobedience Galore! Then I quickly realized my feelings of being complacent were bc I was! I've been sitting on everything he has equipped me with!

I began to pray that the Lord open doors for me to speak again and that he show me creative ways to make extra income for our home

Then, I realized that I have giftings that I can use for provision and that there are open doors all around me to share the Word.

so.......Here i am at 5 am baking cakes for an event and studying to preach tonight!

I have always (since I was little) dreamed of baking desserts from my house for people who want home made baked treats but don't have the time.... so this morning I got to thinking; the holidays are coming around..... im gonna make some little business cards and give them out to some people I know. Some of the people that i have already baked for in the past and see what happens.

So, once this idea popped in my head I begin to make business cards (please dont get me wrong, Im not trying to break any health codes here- I just want to function in my passions, while helping others). I am going to start with 10 of my best recipes and see what happens.

As for the speaking engagements, I was asked by Scott to speak tonight for youth and today I was asked to speak at another event in November.

God is always so faithful to answer us when we pray and use us inspite of all of the short-comings we feel about ourselves.

So, as I sit here writing I am smelling vision!

It's BIG vision and it smells sweet!

Have a wiff of your own, ... God's placed vision in you too!

Have a wonderfully blessed day,

-missa
