Dancing on the edge of truth – the battle between hope and doubt. We’ve all done it at one time or another. Deep within us we know there is something more. We notice it in others or perhaps it’s that quiet voice inside that tugs at our heart and whispers “Don’t Settle”.

Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? You’ve worn them so often that they’ve lost that perfect fit. Perhaps the lining has loosened and rubs against your skin causing irritation and maybe even pain.

We ask God for open doors. He complies but we just don’t recognize it. We ask for a sign. Imagine a bright shining light on the doorknob and still… we hesitate to open the door. Seriously – what are we waiting for? A personal escort? Guess what – we have ONE. He promises He will be with us always. He said: “…And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” –Matt 28:20 TPT
Do you have a place where you store your Someday Dreams? At some point in your life story they were real enough to tuck away for that perfect future time. Are they still real today? How often do you visit them? Perhaps you’ve got them up on your Vision Board.

“Someone is dying to hear what you have to say”, these are words I shared with a fellow writer recently. Most know the idiomatic expression – dying to – means to be very eager. It’s a light and carefree expression that speaks of enthusiasm and anticipation.
But what if it were true? What if there was someone who was dying emotionally, spiritually, or physically, and you held the key to their very next decision?
