Stop Waiting

   If you are waiting for your ship to come in, I doubt that it will happen.  Sorry.  You'll have a long wait Sista!  You have to build your own ship to get to where you are going...that is if you know where you are going.  Where do you want to go?  That is the first question.  How are you going to get there?  That is the second question.  But one thing is for sure, you have to stop waiting!

   If you are waiting for God to sail your ship on in, that probably will not happen.  What glory does God get if He sails it in and does it all for you?  (You define what "it all" means). God might stand beside you while you sail the boat you build, but understand that God gave you brains to use.  Don't wait until you get close to the end of your life when you are too weak or too tired to start building your ship.
  
   Start now!  If you don't know how to build a ship, ask somebody who does!

    Also, I hope you're not waiting for others to get you to where you are going.  Wrong move!  That most likely isn't going to happen either.  They have their own agenda.  They don't care that much about yours.

   How about the lottery?  Are you hoping and praying and waiting to win?  Good luck!!!  Chances are you are just throwing away your money buying the tickets.  So stop being superstitious!  You weren't born under an unlucky star.

   Make your own luck!

   Begin today to decide where it is you want to go.  Then make a plan on how to get there.  Don't expect God or others to do the work that you should be doing for yourself.  Use the brains God gave you!  Don't wait for the planets to line up just right.  Get busy today planning and dictating your own life!  Stop waiting and start building your own ship.  Then you will know for sure that your ship is going to sail in.  And the best part is that you choose where "in" is.
