Transformed

Greetings!

This past weekend, I was honored to speak at a women's day program. I have to admit that I was a little nervous. Actually, I was a LOT nervous. It's one thing to speak in front of a crowd who knows nothing about you, but it's altogether different when you are speaking in front of people you know and who have known you all of your life. Also, I live in another state. So, I not only had to speak in front of people who knew me, I was coming from the outside back in.

That's where the title of this blog post came from. I spoke about living a transformed life. It's time for us to stop focusing on the things of the world, and focus more on what God has for us. I believe that God was in control and the people of God were blessed.

God has a way of working everything out for our good. He knows exactly what we need when we need it. He has ordered our steps and everything that happens to us is getting us to where He needs us to be. Because here is the thing...God's plan will go forward and we will get to where He wants us, but it's up to us how long it takes us to get there.

Being transformed means that I know it's not all about me and that there is another plan in place and it says that I am available to whatever and wherever God leads. Sometimes, that is going to be hard. We are not always going to like where God is leading. He will take us so far out of our comfort zones that we won't even remember where our comfort zone used to be. He will also correct our behavior when we need it. He loves us, but the Bible says He chastens those He loves. So know that even though He loves us, He will check us when we need it!

Until next time...

Be blessed
