It took a leap of faith for me to sponsor the I Press On Community Mental Wellness Celebration and the I Press On Gospel Celebration this past weekend.
For the past few months I’ve been meditating on this scripture, “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” (Philippians 2:13 NIV) I’ve been reminding myself that God Himself placed the desire to hold the I Press On events within me. And, since He gave me the desire, He provided me the power to complete the task (that pleases Him). I know that I had nothing to do with the success of this past weekend. God gets all the glory for the idea and execution of the events.
I would like to thank all of the I Press On supporters. You all have shown me an overwhelming amount of kindness. Thank you for your prayers, presence and financial support.
I want to encourage you take a leap of faith and pursue the desires that God has placed within you. Don’t be afraid. He will give you the power to complete the work.
Let’s learn to accept the power within. And as always, let’s press on together!
