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.

Praise to you and thank you all that you're doing. Amen. You may be seated. I want to encourage

every 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,
