Communication Simplified

Hello this has been on my heart for quite some time, I hope I can say it right!

I have been alive for a few years right?! I have tried many ways of communicating, sometimes I have failed miserably other times, I just FAILED! Now and again, I hit it spot on and this is what I have found out through my own life of trying to live a life that honors God and draws people to Him!

I think the number one area we, as a whole try to do is; sell people things that they don't want to buy! Like for instance we have a bucket of oranges and we take all our time and energy to try to convince an apple person that what they really need is an orange?! We need to get better at analyzing our perspective buyer and stop selling oranges to apple buyers!

I have been very guilty of this. When I gave horseback riding lessons, I wanted everyone to ride dressage!? Here is my new perspective, not everyone should ride dressage! When I first started doing hair I thought everyone should look like I thought they should look!? My new perspective is; not everyone wants to look like I think they should. It shouldn't be this hard!!

We create most of our frustrations by wanting something to be that just either isn't, shouldn't be or it's just not the right time yet! When I first moved to Kansas City and became a member of World Revival Church I thought; everyone needs this and surely will want this!! WRONG! I set myself up for more heartache than a heart should ever ache. Not everyone was meant to be like.....me!! Ouch!!! Yes it is true, even if we have hit the mother load of mother loads on anything, it still does not mean that it is for everyone!

Here is where I live today, no not my address, my heart, ha ha ha!! I know that there are people like me, similar to me, not 100% but I can find orange lovers, dressage riders, hair people and people who love and long for the presence of God like me! These people may be 1 in 100 or 1 in 1,000 it really doesn't matter how many there are, the point is there are. These people do exist and I can either choose to continue to annoy people or I can truly love people for who they truly are!

The bible says it is the love of God that causes people to long for Him. Maybe if we all just stopped trying to convince the ones who aren't hungry to be hungry, maybe in the end they would want what we have because we stopped telling them that we have something they need!

I have found in my tiny little life, that the answer to all of our dreams are found in one little concept! Be.......Be the people that we wished we had in our life, then maybe that will open the door to the people we need too! We truly need to get real with ourselves and ask ourselves hard questions like, why do I want them to like what I like? Why do I want them to go where I go? Why do I want them to be who I want them to be?

I have found for me, I wanted people to be who I needed them to be. Double Ouch! Only Jesus can be who we really need! When we tap into him and his purposes, then we can free people to be who they are supposed to be. Sometime we benefit from that, but many times we don't! The joy comes from seeing other become who they are supposed to be. Like children, maybe they move away and we don't see them often, is it right for us to hold on forever? I have found when I let people go, they come back! Free people today, free everyone you have ever met! Let people just be free!

Be all you were designed to be, I believe in you! God made you, He wants to empower you, you don't have to be alone in anything!! You can and should do what is in your heart to do. Someone needs what you have, be an answer to someone's prayer today! Become, let God mold you into greatness, that is who you were meant to be!

Lord help us!! Help us to be who you designed us to be! We need you and only you working in all that we are! HELP US to become something that we could not be on our own! It shouldn't be this hard, show us the road less traveled and give us the faith to step into our destinies in you! Amen!!

Sorry I have not written lately, I am in the middle of a wedding!! Yippee!
