BE TRANSPARENT

transparentYou don’t have to be closed in.  You are not a statue or a stone, you are human, you are real, you have a heartbeat and sometimes just like us all…it aches!  It is okay to be real.  It is OKAY to seek that which will make you stronger when you need it the most.

I am so thankful that God put in my life VERY positive and spirit-filled people.  They accept me and love me with open arms always.  There are no conditions on the love that they have for me and that is why I am not ashamed to call them F A M I L Y!  But in all of this I have learned so much within the last few months of some pressing trials in my life….there’s more!

Overcoming Strongholds

WarfareI wish that I could tell you that it was going to be very easy. That your process of renewal and healing would happen overnight or in a synch! But that is not actually the case. It is not easy to bounce back from a place that has caused severe wounds such as breaking ungodly soul ties, overcoming a divorce, the loss of a loved one in any capacity, overcoming sickness, and abandonment, betrayal, breaking barriers of addiction, depression, co-dependencies, or any other experiences that have taken up deep places in your soul.

My Perfect Storm

PerfStorm

So I receive an email for a daily devotional titled… “An Unexpected Storm” which was driven off another book written by James Merritt “52 Weeks with Jesus”. He goes to describe the scene of the storm out of Mark 4:36-40 as it states:

Leaving the crowd, they took him with them, in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” and he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” and the wind ceases and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”

What really caught me was the closing statement “He will calm the tempest after it has served its purpose.”

Did my storm serve its purpose yet? Is that why it is not yet calm?  That it has not yet ceased at this time?

This is Samaria!

I had sought the Lord about what to really bring to the table the retreat weekend of Rebuilt 2. Mostly it kept me up at night for fear of the word that would come forth. Saturday night into Sunday I said to God what will you have next as a closing message to uplift these women of yours? The scripture came to mind about the woman at the well. As I was reading this I came to realize that I am this woman more and more. Seeking that drink, seeking that instant gratitude, seeking that attention or seeking some help. I could imagine that this woman suffered low self-esteem, depression and that feeling of being unwanted. Continue reading
