Delegate, delegate, delegate

This morning I shared with my Bible study ladies where God has me in my quest for hope! Their input was fantastic and got me thinking honestly about why I haven't delegated things and what the result will be if I don't start soon.

I realized if I keep doing what I'm currently doing not only will I be worn out, but that things cannot possibly grow the way I want them to. If I keep holding onto everything, I'll just kill it. So I need to delegate. But to delegate means I have to hand over one or five of these little balls I'm juggling and if just one slips out of place I'm going to drop them all!

Tonight I read in my notes from B Moore's Esther study:
Regarding 9:29, Esther “along with” and "in full authority." Our destiny will not be completely fulfilled if we miss our 'along withs'. We're not called to be autonomous. There's something God has called you to do that you can only complete in conjunction with other people. At times it will make you mad. We need the ‘along withs’. We are called to walk in our authority but it will be along with some others. What they bring out in you may surprise you!

What's God saying to me? Keep praying for vision and look for my 'along withs'! They're there, I'm just not seeing or making use of them like I should. Why? Pride, Control, Lack of vision! I'm so grateful for what God's showing me. I'm really excited and I think maybe that might be the first place of hope God is trying to put in place for me. Last week I was thinking, "Oh goodness, I can't possibly hope for more. I'm too tired." Today, I'm realizing, "Wow, this is totally possibly and could be a whole lot of fun!" 

My hope needs to be in Jesus and what He wants. My hope must rest on His shoulders and not in my hands! Thanks for praying for me!
