It truly is amazing when you stop to realize that no matter how much we look like our parents or siblings, that every single person in this entire world is different in some way-each of us with our own unique and incredible design- created for us to be a blessing to the world we live in! Wow!

Once you understand this and are ready to bring your uniqueness to the surface, it is extremely important to surround yourself with the right team of supporters to incubate your gift before its release, its birth. Consider this team very carefully. The tendency is to go to familiar people and places to share your dreams. Yet, the reality is these might be the very places that your giftings are aborted or at a minimum stalled. The people closest to you love you and want the “best” for you. Often times that becomes what looks safe and secure from their eyes. In an attempt to shield you, they may inflict their fears upon you and in the end you find yourself suppressing your inner longings even longer.

I encourage you today to prayerfully consider your team of supporters and nurturers for your unique calling. Recognize how personal the calling is and choose those who have the same faith, courage and perseverance to aid you in a smooth delivery.
