Have you ever just checked out on what God has called you to do? Maybe you’re so excited about the next “season” in your life that you aren’t even there in your mind right now. Maybe you’re graduating next May and you have “senioritis.” Senioritis is when you’re so not in class – you’re just going through the motions. You’re so tired of being there and you’re READY to go. You’re so ready to be finished. I can relate as I felt that way my last year of college. I was so ready to move to New York and get my “purpose” started. I kept saying – I’m going to really see my “purpose” when I finally graduate! I’m going to really see what God called me to do! Sadly, I TOTALLY neglected my current season. I was already gone in my head. I had checked out and I was totally missing what God wanted me to do in TODAY.
At times, we can become so focused on our “next” step, or the “new season” or the whatever else that we ignore what God wants us to do right NOW. Guess what, today .. you have PURPOSE. Today actually matters. And, today is preparing you for where God is taking you. What I didn’t know as I “rushed” to my next season is that New York was going to be one of the hardest seasons in my LIFE. I was in such a rush to get there that I didn’t realize that the next season in my life carried it’s own sets of struggles, hardaches, tests and trials.
So, where are you at right now in your life? Are you sick and tired of this season? Maybe you’re not as on fire as you were when you first started your job. Maybe you just violate every copy-write law as you write your last paper. Maybe, you’re not as on fire and excited about your marriage because you’re bored with it. Or, maybe you’re engaged and rushing towards the aisle.
Today matters.
Get your emotions together and sit before the Lord. Ask Him to help you to not be lazy, complacent, bored, tired and giving up on where He has placed you. We must stop rushing from one thing to the next – thinking that wherever we are going is going to be better. The grass aint greener in your next season honey! The same you is going to be there.
God loves you like crazy,
Love you all so much!

I don't live in Atlanta, can i still come to the church when I visit there?
Yes. I do that. I live in Orlando and visit Miami church sometimes
I feel lost at the moment, my heart is so distant and my spirit is bruised. I was said that I wish there was same way I could exchange my spirit with a healthy one. This gives me a little more insight in terms of how I am feeling.
This was so for me as well! I'm so bored and tired of my current season. I'm supposed to be writing my book but I'm no longer interested in it! I know for sure God instructed me to do it but the drive I had is totally gone! I pray that God gives me the will and strength to complete this task for this season in my life! Thanks Heather L
This really spoke to me so much so that I teared up. I'm going through a very rough patch in my marriage as well. I am just not feeling it at all right now. A very good word. Thanks for posting!
Very on time word, my husband has actially left me. I feel so torn on my next step we still communite to co parent but i don't know how else to proceed and pray for his heart to change. I pray and when i speak to him it's like getting smacked in the face
Oh! My dear I will stand with you in prayer that the Lord can bring him back if u want! Be encouraged sister! The lord is with you!
Thanks pastor Heather
Thank you for being obedient Heather! I really needed to hear this!
Heather, I just talked to God about this yesterday. Thank you for consistently sitting before His feet. You've encouraged me to do the same. Hugs!
This really blessed me! Thank you for sharing! What a heart check!
Heather, Im so confused right now andI totally agree with what you're saying. The only thing is im not married. I have a 1 year with my boyfriend and we been together for 3 years. Things are not the same and i dont know if i should fight for it for the sake of my daughter.
Thank you so much because I needed that. I appreciate you and your ministry. God bless!
Thank you so much because I needed that. I appreciate you and your ministry. God bless!
I recently lost my dad in September , while in my junior year of college . I have been going through the motions and just allowing everything to affect me negatively . All I've been saying is "I cannot wait until 2015 is over because 2016 has to be better than this heart ache" in saying this…. I not once realized that I was not mentally growing and accepting the season I have been in. Thank you for helping me put this year into perspective and appreciate my season rather than hate it . Please keep myself and my family in your prayers.

God bless you! Your words are right on time! Every time I have feel like the Lord has forsaken me he proves me wrong. He is ALWAYS giving me signs and your email was definitely a sign! Thank you so much Heather! I appreciate you and your work! May God continue to bless you.
Thank you, thank you…. I needed to hear that today.
I've been a single mum for 4 1/2 years ~ my life has been on hold waiting for the next season to come where I get my happily ever after. Yesterday I got a text from a friend as I whinged about lonliness saying to just focus on my daughter in this season – internally I wanted to scream "easy for you to say with your husband, 2 children, dog and white picket fence" – she always is telling me that what I have with my daughter is something she envies. I know why she says it and I thank God that the relationship I have with my 8 year old daughter is what it is, I thank him that she IS my greatest ministry. I sensed in my spirit God telling me as I read this "this season isn't about you, this season is about the child I entrusted to you" – She don't need a daddy when she has Jesus, she doesn't need a white picket fence – our rented property does just fine…. she needs a mumma who stays focused and shows her that despite the difficult days this mumma stays strong and stays connected to Jesus…. because maybe my happily ever after as I dream it wont come, maybe God has a different plan…..but maybe just maybe, my girl is going to be the light that will change this world, all because her mumma helped her build the foundations of Christ for her to stand and grown on.
Thank you for sharing this, I really needed to read this. God is really using you, thank you for being obedient. May God continue to bless your family.
ON TIME!! THANK YOU! 🙂
