                         Step Out In Faith

New life.  I speak new life, new direction, new opportunities, new vistas, 
new vision.  New. New. New. Not the old simply reconfigured, but new 
vitality, new energy.  Do not hesitate. Step out! Advance yourself -- advance 
the kingdom. Where does it say humility equals self-denial, especially when 
the dreams and desires are God-birthed within you? Follow that star! Climb 
that mountain!  Go for it! Do it!! Be made aware that this is a new day.

Spring up, O well of life! Geyser force, thrust upward. New fountains
springing up -- invigorating, refreshing, sparkling, changing the very make
up of the air. Charged! Oxygenated! Fresh! Fountain of youth. Come, splash
in the water. Abandon yourself like a child. Live in the moment. Gaiety and
laughter prevailing.
