I just had to share this - it's a recent post from my Pastor about how others can influence what you're doing or want to do, what you believe in for your family, your children, your passions in life etc. I couldn't help but hear this clearly as I read it.
I am ME and God has designed me to do something GREAT for Him, as He has all of us. Now, I can choose to move away from what I believe God has chosen me for or stay close to Him and continue in what I am doing. I have many friends and family members that I love dearly - some I stay in touch with more often than others but at times I find myself hearing a "crushing response" so to speak. Something they say will make me rethink what I'm doing or what I'm passionate about because that particular person doesn't truly understand ME and what God has asked me to do. That doesn't make them a bad influence necessarily but they can surely crush a dream, steal joy and dampen my motivation if I continue to listen to them and believe what they say. So, I love this post by Pastor Furtick cause it's true - IGNORE WHAT THEY SAID because if GOD said - that is WHAT SHOULD BE SAID!
Go chase your dreams, fulfill your life's purpose and don't let anyone steer you off that path!
Here's the link to Pastor Furtick's Post - it's worth a minute to read, it's short but clear!
