Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Psalms 119: 133<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Everywhere that you go, you are to give God honor and glory. My prayer has always been that when people look at me, I hope that they would see Jesus. It isn\u2019t always about me. It is easy to get caught up in what we want in life, verses what God requires from us. The only way that we can direct our steps is to go to the One who has ordered them in the first place J It reminds me of one of my favorite songs when I was in Middle School. It is \u201cOrder My Steps\u201d It goes a little something like this: Order my steps in your word dear Lord, lead me guide me every day. \u00a0I have attached the link to the song if you would like to listen to it.<\/p>\n http:\/\/youtu.be\/A3FXgRHOXfE<\/a><\/p>\n Girls, we can\u2019t go where God wants us to go if we don\u2019t have a clue where it is that he desires for us to go.<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>As I have said before, we don\u2019t want to make an unnecessary trip, when we can go to God first and let Him direct and lead us!<\/p>\n There are so many things that God has for us to do. There are so many people\u2019s lives that God wants us to touch. There are going to be times when God will ask us to go places to reach people, friends, family members in order for them to see who He really is. We can\u2019t stay in our comfort zones and not step out into the deep. If we stay in our comfort zones, we will be allowing the enemy to win<\/strong> <\/em>and we can\u2019t afford that, now can we?<\/p>\n I can remember my very first job, working at a church in the downtown area of Memphis. My boss, the pastor of that particular church, believed in stepping out of your comfort zone! He had me follow him to one of the busiest corners in the neighborhood and he began to pass out pamphlets and began talking with some of the youth that were hanging out on that corner about Jesus and it was the beginning of an awesome relationship with them. They started coming to the center\/church and they eventually found Christ, or shall I say Christ found them, and they are living their lives for Christ! I dare not think about what would have come of their lives if he had not stepped out of his comfort zone or let God direct his steps. God is awesome like that!<\/p>\n He taught me how to go where the people were that God wanted to reach as well, especially those places that had\u00a0people\u00a0who some were \u00a0afraid to minister to. For you girls, this may look like a skating rink, park, school cafeteria, neighborhood, library, etc\u2026 just to name a few places. Don\u2019t be afraid to step out of your comfort zones!!!<\/strong><\/em> Jesus will be right there with you! Stay in communication with God! He will direct your steps on where to go and who to reach out to! He won\u2019t have you putting your lives in danger, but you MUST stay in complete communication with Him.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s Pray:<\/strong><\/p>\n Heavenly Father, I thank You for each girl who is represented in GCH: Decaf.
