The Power of Pace

Tips to Grow Your Ministry

Greetings,

Stress can be so prevalent in the lives of Christians that you can easily think that it is part of the process.

I have noticed that the times I feel the most stress are the times I have violated the pace at which God created me to operate.

In order to move forward in your Kingdom calling, you must become aware of your pace. It guide you in producing good fruit and impacting the lives of those the Lord has set aside for you.

Here is a video that shares the power of your pace.

Enjoy!

In His Love, Ericka

Follow-up. It is the key to growing any business or ministry. And I have been quite lousy at it. The Lord really dealt with me on getting this aspect of the ministry is order this past weekend.

Here is a bit of what He instructed me to do to move in mastery in the area of follow-up.

1. Keep your contacts in a database that can easily access the names, phone numbers, addresses of those with whom you have come in contact.

2. Keep this database updated as you collect business cards and meet new people. Even when you are doing speaking engagements, make sure you collect the contact info of those who want to keep in touch with you.

3. Set up a tickle file. This is a file that has folders for each day of the month and you place a reminder in it to contact certain people on certain days. My friend, Barbara Hemphill,the founder of the organizing industry, showed me the power of the Swiftfile tickle file system; you can check it out at www.swiftfile.com.
    

I learned long ago that the fortune is in the follow-up. Make it a part of your daily routine. You may be missing divine connections that Lord has set up for you.

Stress: One of the Many Faces of Fear

Ericka's Speaking & Training

Greetings,

As I was moving through my morning routine today, I was contemplating the stress that far too many many Christians live with everyday.

Teeth grinding. Migraine Headaches. Health Problems. Over-eating. Sleeplessness. Alcohol. TV. Being too busy. Gossip. Disorganization. Over-spending. Screaming…

The root of each of these problems is fear.

Think about your stress-induced habits and then ask yourself, “If I did not feel stressed, would I still do it?” Most of the time, you would not. Taking it to even a deeper level, I began asking myself, “If fear were not in the equation, would people feel stressed?” A vast majority of the things you may be stressed about are due to fear you are carrying around that issue.

Yet, the Word instructs us not to worry. What are we missing?

As I was moving into a fearless live, here are some of the tough questions I had to ask myself:

• If I did not fear running out of money, would I you stay so busy running from meeting to meeting?

• If I were not in fear about being able to juggle everything on my plate, would I overeat?

• If I were not trying to escape the reality of my life through watching too much TV (or whatever your thing is… alcohol, or sleeping too much,etc.) would I live differently?

• If I truly believed that my plans would come to pass, would I stay up half of the night working or worrying?

• If I knew I could slow down and get more done, wouldn’t I stop and take the time to get organized?

• I want to offer you a new concept. Instead of pacifying your stress-habits, why not create a life that does not drive you to stress – a fearless life?
   

Take some time to recognize the ways fear is showing up as stress in your life. Once you illuminate these habits in your life, you can begin to create the life God created you to live.

Dedicated to Your Fearlessness,

Ericka
