 NEW START I was baking a pound cake and during the rising period, my son opened and closed the oven and the cake FELL!  I tried to continue to let it bake hoping that extra TIME would fix it but the PROCESS was interrupted. The cake would not bake to its full potential. Although from the OUTSIDE, it seemed to look ok, the INSIDE would not rise. I could NOT save that cake. I had to start over. Sometimes in life, the PROCESS has been tampered with and preventing your rise (potential, growth, destiny) and no matter what you do to try to fix it, it can’t be saved! You may make it appear ‘ok’ on the OUTSIDE but INSIDE it is messed up. You need a New Start! The Word says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland". Isa 43:19,20

PLASTIC COVERING A common cultural practice in the early to mid 1900’s was to cover living room furniture with plastic to preserve it. Owners would proudly state how LONG they had this plastic covered furniture... I see through the plastic but I can't touch, feel the fibers, or enjoy what's inside... We often have plastic covering our SPIRITUAL LIVES. We sit on and cover up gifts, talents, praise, worship, experiences, and relationships BUT no real connection. No real joy- only a physical presence, etc... LENGTH of time does not compare to the DEPTH of deposits of DNA of love, joy and peace on the fibers. Take the plastic off. "Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and be the truth is not in that person." 1John 2:4 #Lifebysabrina

Day#2 Get Up and Keep Moving During a middle school basketball game, a female player was knocked down on floor. She sat there thinking that the game would cease and her needs would be assessed. To her surprise, the players continued to aggressively play in the game and a teammate shouted to her to ‘get up and keep moving’!  If you fall don’t stay there long. Get up and keep moving! It’s not over. Get in position know your purpose. “Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Sit in a place of honor. Remove the chains of slavery from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.”Isaiah 52:2 #LifebySabrina #21-Daysof2020Vision

 When It’s Better to Let Go I heard a story about a woman who found her children huddled over and playing with 6 baby SKUNKS! She shouted, “RUN”! Her children were so afraid so they grabbed all 6 skunks and ran… Although this story sounds ridiculously funny, we often pray for deliverance while continuing to hold on to the people, pain, problems, and our past that we seek deliverance from. We often hold on and carry that which is better to Let Go of. There have been times when we have held on to relationships, cars, houses, jobs, positions and past hurts when God has clearly directed to Let It Go! “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”  John 14:26 #LifebySabrina
