I need a word By Quonda Renee

This morning as I stand on my balcony drinking hot tea I'm reminiscing about 3 years ago when God instructed me to create a podcast. I was living in a hotel going through what felt like a hard situation, an embarrassing situation. The Lord gave me the idea to start the podcast through a dream and in the dream he gave me a deadline of when that podcast needed to be completed. I am someone who has seen God do miraculous things,I am someone who trusts God so I didn't argue, I didn't question it.I just began to pursue and create the podcast; fast forward to today my obedience has paid off. The podcast has hit over 700k downloads and reaches between 10K and 20K listens per episode. Never in my life did I think God would use me in such a way, my voice is literally heard and countries all around the world; countries I may never visit. I've heard countless testimonies of people that listen to the podcast and are being blessed. That could have never happened if I didn't obey God. See what I have learned about God is your situation doesn't have to be conducive to where you think it should be for Him to use you or for Him to bless you. God can birth some of the greatest things out of you in your most horrible season of life. Those hard, terrible, frustrating seasons are the best things that I could ever go through. One thing I've learned to do is to trust God He knows all the plans that He has for us. He knows what's next. He knows the future, He knows what's to come! I know you may be reading this and thinking but my situation is different, there's no way out there's no way I can do this. How can God use me when I can't even see straight! This is where you need to posture your heart to believe no matter what it looks like, no matter what comes my way, no matter what I see I'm going to trust in God! You never know where your obedience or your Yes to God will take you. When I was living in a hotel I did my best to stay positive, I did my best to keep trusting in God, I never knew where this journey or this road was going to take me but I knew as long as I was in God's will I would be okay, I would have security, I would have safety. So think about your life for a minute. Are you struggling in your marriage, are you struggling in your finances, are you struggling with your purpose?God is giving you an opportunity to trust Him like you've never trusted before. Don't despise the hard seasons of your life. Those are the moments, those are the times where we draw nigh unto God. We need to draw so close to God so that when He says go left, we go left. When He says turn right, we turn right. The podcast is 3 years old now and I decided that I wanted to share more of my journey, more of my story, more of my heart in this new series that I'm starting on the podcast. I would love for you to listen if you need to be encouraged, if you’re feeling stuck, if you're struggling, download the I Need a Word Podcast it’s available on Apple, Google Stitcher, iHeartRadio, and Pandora. In these latest episodes I talk about purpose, betrayal, how to navigate through hard seasons, and trusting God through it all. No matter where you are in your life, you will get through it. Love You!
