I’m not sure if
you noticed, or even if I should point it out, but I have changed the name of
my blog back to the original name. I originally started this blog because of my
book, “Let My Life Be A Testimony,” and then somewhere along the line I started
to feel like something was wrong with that. It was almost like I was
shamelessly plugging my book every time someone came onto my site. Ok…I know that
doesn’t make any sense at all, but just bear with me. I feel like all of a
sudden I have been awakened to this revelation that has been there all the
time, and didn’t see. God has blessed me more than I can even tell you. When I
wrote my book, God not only gave me every word to write, but He also gave me
the strength to let it go.
I have always
felt that there was something wrong with selling something so personal. “Let My
Life Be A Testimony” was like my baby. God allowed me to give birth to a dream
I had held in my heart as far back as I can remember. But, what I was seeing
is not what God was trying to show me. God was showing me who I could be in Him
when I let myself go, and I was seeing someone who wasn’t worthy enough to even
tell anyone I had written a book.
But, here’s the
thing…God knew even that. He knew that I would drag my feet not wanting to be
noticed. He knew that I would stand in the background… watching other people live
out their dreams wishing I could do the same. So, He has been slow-walking me
into my purpose… teaching me how to appreciate all of those things about myself
that drive me crazy in other people. He has been showing me “me,” and it hasn’t
been easy. What I have been seeing as procrastination is really not
procrastination at all…it’s fear.
Knowing that
gives me hope, because now I know how to fight.
“For the weapons of our warfare are not of
the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” (2 Corinthians
10:4)
Until next time…
Be blessed
