Your Cruise Needs Control
As I am typing this, I am in my stateroom on our family Thanksgiving cruise. I have been observing how well these crew members and employees are working to make the movement of this ship a huge success, and of course, God began to speak.
This season your boat is more important than ever. You will need those who row with you to row with purpose.
NOT those who:
Row in the opposite direction …. whoever they are they are working against what you’re building.
These are the dream killers, they say they are with you, but their actions speak otherwise, and the subtle competitors
They want to smother your dream in the embryotic stage because they didn’t think of it, or they don’t have the courage to fulfill their own dreams.
These are those who “straddle the fence” and don’t endorse you publicly because they participate in unpleasant conversations about you.
They are afraid that you will outgrow them and leave them behind.
NOT those who:
Choose not to row…. these are leeches who are around waiting on you to “arrive” so they can have a free ride on your dime.
These people are costly and will cost you more than money.
They aren’t around for the trying times but are always ready for the turn-up and celebrations.
They don’t want to do the hard work but think they deserve the benefits of the payoff because they have “been there”
You need help to crossover, therefore you need those who:
- Compliment you and your vision
- Collaborate with you to expand your vision
- Celebrate you along the way
This season is purposeful, not personal so someone may have to go. Your cruise companions may not look like you imagined, but they are necessary. You’ve done as much as you can do in your own power and capability. Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto!
I’m excited about your NEXT!
As I received this “word” for myself I know that it is for someone else as well.
Let me know if you are in transition and can relate, or if you receive this for your NEXT!
Reflective Questions:
What can you add to enhance what you are building?
What sets you apart from others in your field?
What do you need to reinforce this time so that there are no holes in your boat?
Write down your vision. Be as specific and descriptive as possible. According to Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
You have spent enough time doing it your way, Allow God to breathe on your dreams and watch how they exceed your expectations.
God has already begun to speak to me. I can't wait to hear your praise reports!
Friend, we have work to do… Let’s Get It!
As always I'm in your corner rooting you on.
You've got THIS!!!
Much Love to You & Yours.
