YOU are it!

Hey guys!  I'm back!  God's been taking me down some crazy paths lately in my walk with Him and I can feel him leading me to certain things.  This blog is one of them.  So you may be hearing more from me :)

So I had a thought tonight during Bishop's sermon that really just opened my eyes and had me speechless (at least until now).

It was prophesied that someone would come before Jesus and prepare a way for Him.  That was prophesied in the Bible YEARS before John was ever a twinkle in his mother's eye.   He was set apart from the womb. God had a plan for him that was going to usher in the greatest gift the world has ever been given.

Imagine the day when John realized HE WAS IT!  He was the one that was spoken about in the old testament.  Imagine him sitting in the playground or in the synagogue, I don't know when it hit him, but imagine what it felt like to be taught about a messiah that is to come and realize that YOU are the one chosen to prepare the way. YOU are the one prophesied about. YOU are the one that generations have read about that would set the stage for the Messiah to be introduced to the world.  WOW! I don't know if that blows your mind but it does mine. 

I'm sure John always knew he was different and called and set apart.  I'm sure he probably wan't understood by the kids in his neighborhood. But he was human and he had to obtain revelation of who he was at some point.

We all go through this process of finding out who we are in God. What our purpose is and who we are in him?  It's a process that I believe only evolves and never stops. But imagine realizing one day that YOU are it! 

You see we are all it! He has formed you in your mother's womb and knew you before you were a twinkle in your mother's eye.  He knows who you are, what you will do, and how you will accomplish it.  He has singled you out!  

YOU have been chosen to spread Jesus and his saving grace. YOU have been chosen to be his hands and his feet.  YOU! Not the person next to you in church but YOU!  Imagine what is waiting for you to accomplish just by walking in blind faith and going where God leads you!!!!!

Lord help me to walk worthy of this calling, of being chosen.  Let me understand the responsibility of it all but more important, give me revelation of the love that you have for me that you would choose me. This hot mess of a girl who doesn't know what's next in life and doesn't have it all together. Help me to do what you want me to do without my will being involved.  Thank you for choosing me! Thank you for loving me!  Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me!

Aint He good :)

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Lord, use me.  A prayer I've prayed a million times.  But lately I've been doing some soul searching, or rather God has been telling me about myself. (Don't you love when he does that.)  I've always wanted to be used by God greatly.  I've said that I've surrendered all, sang the song a million times, and just turn around to pick up all the junk I've laid on the alter for the 15th time that month and try to figure out this "surrendered" life I'm supposed to lead.  I've tried to map out how he can use me, where he can use me, and what he will have me doing.  Well let me just tell you folks, my head has been stuck in the sand for many years.  Now don't get me wrong, I've always wanted what God wanted for me and although I've put up a fight for a few things, I usually give in, hang my head like a little girl, and say "You were right all along and I should have listened the first time."  Why do us girls always try to figu

The big T

So I guess I've decided to keep going with this blog. Surprisingly, I'm finding that I like writing on this thing. My thoughts are mainly for me but maybe someone might feel the same about things and it helps to know you're not alone sometimes :) (At least for me it does) Ill try to keep it shorter than my blog from Africa though lol. So the big T. Wonder what that is? Transition. Spiritual transition. For me this word makes me want to cringe and be excited at the same time. My life has been in this faze for over a year now and it feels as though the emotions of it all are increasing daily. It's a mixture of excitement, wonder, and frustration all at once. Now I know frustration isn't what   god gives us but I've been feeling it. It's like I'm standing at the edge of the cliff wanting to jump, not sure what Im jumping into, but ready and not afraid, yet someone is holding my shirt and saying not yet. There's two things pulling me; knowing that t

For those "In the Waiting"

Matthew 6:25-34 I've always read this chapter thinking that God doesn't want me to worry about material things. But today I read it a bit differently. He will provide my EVERY need, my heart's desire, He will stay true to His promises  BUT He may have you wait! It will sometimes lead to what I like to call as Holy Frustration.  Knowing that the waiting is part of His will for your life, but still, because we're human, leads to us being impatient at times and getting frustrated at His timing. BUT GOD ALWAYS COMES THROUGH! This is my testimony. My family. My husband and my children.  I call them my miracles from God. God had me wait for all of it. But it was so worth it. You see, I didn't get married in my 20's like all my other friends.  And let me tell you, the waiting was hard. It was trying, it was lonely, and it was exactly what I needed, but didn't want. In the waiting, He taught me so much: His love fo
