The Key Element is YOU

We were walking on a city street over the weekend and I saw a man in front of us who was wearing a t-shirt with a statement on the back that caught my attention:

THE KEY ELEMENT IS YOU

Those words really hit me because the stark truth of them made me realize that my success depends on me. Yes, I need to "commit my plans to the Lord and He will make them succeed," but the committing starts and ends with ME. I need to take that first step in giving those plans to God for His guidance and direction and I need to take that leap of faith when He is asking me to move forward.

Everyday I get excited to see what God is going to do in and through me and my husband...through my writing and through our home-business. Gods is AWESOME and I hope you give Him a chance to impact your life today!
