Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing

things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

I want to be sure and give everyone one of us today that if you're waiting on a prayer to be

answered or maybe you're waiting for some things to change in your life and it hasn't happened

for a long time and you're just waiting for things to change so you can move on with life.

I want to encourage you to not let those things stop you. Don't get stuck in those areas of your life.

God doesn't want you to ever get stuck. He wants you to live within enthusiasm. He wants you to live

with joy. He wants you to live with expectancy of what he can do in your life. You see, sometimes

we're waiting on things to change. We're looking at everything around us and we forget to look at our

God. See the Bible says we are to wait upon the Lord. We're not to wait for all of our prayers to

be answered. We're not to wait for things to change before we can be happy. We're to wait

expectantly on the Lord. Exciting with anticipation. God, I may be in a difficult season, but God,

that doesn't stop you from working in my life. You see, with an excitement and a joy and a passion

for life, that's how God wants us to live. You know, we sometimes we think that seems impossible. I

can't be that happy all the time. Really, Victoria? The Bible says that there is a joy in you.

That Jesus gave you. He says the joy that is in me I've given you. You have the ability to tap

into the resources that God has given you. You see, the Bible says that the righteous are to get

brighter and brighter until the full day. We're to thrive like a green leaf. We're not supposed to

wither. Our dreams and hopes are not supposed to wither, but we're supposed to thrive. We're supposed

to shine brighter and brighter. You're not supposed to be dim some days and bright the others.

You're supposed to be bright, shiny. You're supposed to let the sun in, the S-O-N every single day,

so that you can be bright and shiny. I think that's a good question to ask ourselves periodically
