Greetings!

Yesterday, I heard this song on the radio and in part it said that the person singing was thanking God for changing her whole life. That song sparked something in me, and I have been singing it for two days. Every time I think about how God has “transformed” my life, He didn’t just change it…He made it brand new….but, every time I meditate on what He has done for me, I want to fall on my face in worship to Him.

He took me…raggedy, tore up from the floor up, selfish, spoiled, and angry me, and changed me so that I no longer even recognize myself. I don’t act the way I used to act. I don’t feel the way I used to feel. I don’t even speak the way I used to speak. He has changed my whole life, and I will never ever be able to thank Him enough.

For the past couple of weeks, I had been seeking something that I couldn’t really put into words. It was as if my soul was thirsty. Our church theme this year is “Living Holy,” and I believe I finally know what it means to seek holiness. I want to live like Him, to walk like Him, to give like Him, and to love like Him. I want to be an empty vessel for Him…to allow Him to take complete control of me.

I heard someone say one time that they were feeling some kind of way. Lately, I think that’s how I’ve been feeling…like I have been showing up and checking out. Worrying about who says what, and who’s doing what and I am tired from the inside out. I have come to the end of myself.  You know that place where you are sick of doing what has always been done.  Hallelujah!

God is calling us higher and we can’t waste time on playing church. That means that we will have to want what God wants, and move when God says move.  To do what He is calling us to do—even when it feels uncomfortable. And know this… sometimes that won’t be popular. Everyone is not going to like the new you. The you that God has made you to be. The you that you have been too afraid to walk in you—the God-centered you. But, there are a lot of hurting people out there who need leaders that are focused and determined to do what thus saith the Lord, and I want to be in that number.

So, if you see me shouting…you know it’s because I have received my breakthrough!

Until next time…

Be blessed!
