Being Revealed

A while back I posted a blog called Pearls. Go to it and read all three posts. It is about women who don't know their worth. Today I feel a need to revisit this topic.

I am blown away by the many women who are no doubt in pain. Walking around with masks. Hiding behind careers, men, shopping, chemical addiction and the list never ends. I know what it looks like because I too used to hide behind whatever I could that resembled happiness.  I too faked it. I too ignored it. I was just as lost until one day the overhead light came on. All that I thought was good, was love, was real became illuminated. God showed me what He saw and in turn I saw it too. Up close and personal.

Until we acknowledge who we really are we will continue to wear that mask. Until we stop and do a self check all of our efforts at peace will continue to elude us and we will continue to spiral out of control. Nothing will give us peace except God and His unfailing love.  Step out of the box and see yourself as the gift God created you to be. Stop running from your issues. Stop ignoring them. Trust me they do not go away.

Just as you learned to do what you do. You can unlearn it. You can learn newness, being whole and complete. Lean on God. Give Him you and your mask. Give up the entitlement. Give up being cheep. Give up being used and abused.. Give up and get up.

Square your shoulders and rise to the occasion.

You are priceless.  Be  revealed.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen
