What is Greater?

What does Greater look like to me?  I don't know for sure.  See I have tons of thoughts, but immediately the thief comes to steal my ideas.
I get this thought of how I want to do a Bible Study of my own,  and so I wonder is that the greater thing that God wants me to do. But again I am flooded with doubt and unbelief. Maybe it's just my thought and not God's calling for me. Would anybody come, and if they did - what if they knew more than me?
Greater could be me writing my own book that inspires thousands - But there are so many books, somebody has probably said what I would want to say and then people would think I was copying them.
Greater could be me going to schools and other places teaching girls to be confident and trusting in Gods label for them not the worlds.
Greater could be working with and helping women that have and are being abused.  Help them to find a better physical, but more importantly spiritual place to live.
Greater could be getting involved in helping to stop modern day slavery and sex trafficking.

See all of these things are tender in my spirit.  All of these thoughts have come to me over and over.  So are they Greater?  Are they the greater things that Jesus is talking about in John 14:12 "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."  Maybe, but not yet! That's because they are still sitting right where they started, as a thought in my head and my spirit.

Only a couple chapters into the book Greater I believe any of these could be greater. But greater takes some action. My life doesn't become greater without participation on my part.  These greater things I have listed above don't just happen, I have to do them.

So as I am wrapping this up and fighting the second thoughts of how this post should go... 

Greater to me will be me coming to the point where I step out and do the things God has called me to do. Greater will be looking at the list and knowing God wants me to do something, and not questioning if it's just something I dreamed up.

Blessings to you all on your journey to Greater!

Greater Chapter 1

Well I can say only one chapter in I already feel like this book is going to challenge me.  One of the sections in the 1st chapter talks about being comfortable and not going or doing any more with your life. As much as I love my comfortable life, I know in my heart thats not what God created me for. God wants me to be confident and courageous - empowered with His word. He wants me to be greater. Something that I realized from reading chapter 1 was that greater in not a destination... it's a journey. God wants me (us) to embrace that journey.

Pg 14 "And it's important to embrace the journey, because the destination is a mirage."

That really gave me an image.  We are never done concerning our work for the kingdom. Because once we get to where we thought we were going, we are ready to go to another level of responsibility.  God just gives us bite size pieces to chew on at a time, so that we don't get overwhelmed. 

Enjoy your Journey today, because tomorrow may bring another.

Blessings,
