To the girl that has big dreams but feels like she doesn't have the resources to start,
I completely understand! When I started this ministry...
I felt like...
I don't know enough, I don't have a fancy degree, I don't have a MacBook, I don't own a camera, I don't have a big following on social, I don't have money, I don't have a team to help me, I'm the girl that gets overlooked, and I've tried things in the past, how do I know this is going to work out?
Most of the time, those feelings stop us from actually doing the thing God has called us to do! I had such a pressing on my heart for this ministry & I ran for years. I knew this time (in 2020) I had to be faithful, figure it out and leave my excuse behind.
One day I searched how to build a ministry and a YouTube video popped up of this girl running a Ministry & teaching what she does. Daily I just started watching her videos, getting inspired, and one day she hosted a live zoom call.
I attended the zoom call planning to watch and listen. She SAW me (God provided the unseen girl, which was me I got seen)! She asked me what kind of ministry, do you have? I didn't have a ministry at the time (this was the time I was watching her videos & dreaming with God about the ministry). I told her I didn't have one & then I just spilled my vision to her about Shift Worthy Ministries. She started motivating me to start.
That little zoom call gave me a connection with someone doing what God called me to do. She helped me build a website and showed me how to run an online Ministry. To this day, I work with her.
After the zoom call, I kept getting crazy confirmation to move forward with this Ministry. I got visions (never had visions up until that moment), and God used random people at my church to confirm it. I was also going grocery shopping one Sunday after church, and what God showed me in the vision was written in chalk on a pickup truck.
It's been 7 months since Shift Worthy Ministries launched...
I still...
I don't have a fancy MacBook! I'm using a cheap Dell that sometimes shuts down on me while working!
I don't have a fancy camera to take pictures and videos. I use my I IPhone!
I don't have a big following on social. I show up & empower the audience I do have!
I don't have a team. I learned how to be disciplined & schedule my time.
So much more.
I just want to encourage you to go after that dream and it's ok if you don't have all the knowledge or resources. God will provide & He will multiply when the time is right.
Read Luke 9:10-17
Jesus took what they had which was 5 loaves of bread and two fish and multiplied them to fed 5,000. They even had 12 baskets leftover!
So beautiful girl, step out on faith, use what you have and watch Jesus multiply it & give you some leftovers!
Love Your Kingdom Sister,
Jessica
This post hit home to me and has encourage me to do the ministry I been wanting to do on YouTube. I have been wanting to share with people "how to" videos...How to make money, How to DIY projects, How I am getting thru the process of the NACA program, etc.
