Turning the Page - Faithfully, Fearlessly

Turning and trusting, I recall two years ago I hosted a women's conference entitled, Expect the Unexpected.  It was an amazing event.  I continue to trust God as He teaches me what that really means.  To me, I wanted to expect all things good, wonderful, perfect, peaceful.  However, I have come to realize that what seems terrible, painful, impossible to me may not necessarily be what God sees.  I learned that the trials of this life are blessings in disguise.  I have learned that God is not concerned about the flesh except that it is holding my precious soul.  It shouold not be in control of my actions, it should not be allowed to destroy my destiny.  So, as I continue turning the pages of this amazing life story, I come to page 30, chapter 2012, and I accept the unexpected.  I acknowledge What Is.  I am learning to have the courage to face the unfamiliar head-on.  Expecting the Unexpected, I did not realize where it would lead me, but here I am.  Trusting and Turning.  Here I am, at times I see the storm clouds rise over my head, I feel fear trying to grip my soul as I push and press towards the mark for the Prize....of the high calling.  I sing in the midnight hour as tears wet my pillow.  But, I am so encouraged, tears of thanksgiving for knowing that God is the Author and Finisher of my faith.  So, I inhale courage and blow out strength and I step out of the the place with which I have become so familiar.  I faithfully follow the Leader, who knows the way that I take.  After the trial, He promised I would be Gold.  Pure, untarnished, without blemish or imperfection, He said I would be gold.  The familiar place, I was quite comfortable there, the familiar place, I thought I would be there forever, but, that place was shaken, unexpectedly it was brought down and utterly destroyed.  In it's place will erect a new place, space for the woman I shall become.  I keep on turning, I keep on trusting.  I replace Fear-FULL with Fear-LESS and I turn.  I am excited about the Rest of the story.   I am determined to keep turning these pages, despite weapons forming, temptations chasing me, I will keep turning the page...everyday I will turn the page and the Author promised me that everyday He will RIGHT it, He will WRITE It.  I turn the page and with tenacity I face every fear.   I daily pray for strength and courage to keep turning the page no matter what it looks like.  Turn the page today and allow your destiny to unfold.  Don't be afraid, just trust and turn as the journey to your destiny continues.  Turn the page, fearlessly and faithfully, turn sister, turn brother, TURN THE PAGE.

Take a Seat...

Part 3, Page 18, Chapter 2017 it's time to take a seat and see the world with brand new eyes!  Get rid of the lies you heard, replace the word that would negatively impact your thoughts.  Stop running, keep still, trust your heart and commit if you will to the will of the author, He knows the story. You deserve to take a seat and enjoy the moment, live in it, embrace it, cherish it and allow it to become a sweet memory forever in your mind.  Stop running, stop talking, stop and just take a seat.  Clear your mind and breathe in deep, deep until you feel the wind lifting you from that low place and then blow it out, hard and loud so that you hear it escaping from your lungs like a bird freed from a snare!  Turn the page and continue to journey W ithout R egret G uilt or S hame #WRGS .    Remember every now and then to just TAKE A SEAT!

2017 - Epiphany & Authenticity

Part- 1, Page 6, Chapter 2017 - Embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution)!  We have a brand new scene in 2017. Navigating through the various landscapes, habitations, atmospheric pressures have all revealed for me a clear view of my authentic self.  Looking in the mirror and actually seeing, speaking my truth and actually hearing it, in the most raw form and not offering apologies for that truth.  Arriving at this place required me to leave skin, blood and sweat as a sacrifice on the altar that resulted in a life altered, scene changed, re-arranged and now sustained. Today, there is gratitude, on this day, when the world recognizes and acknowledges the manifestation of my soul's lover, I too appreciate my own epiphany, when I discovered the incredible power within, I chose and will continue to choose, from this day forth to use it to the fullest.  I am now living in that free place, liberated and substantiated,  making every decision and reflecting on every area of this ...

Looking back over Turned pages....

As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters.  I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced.  I am reminded of the miracle that I am.  As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of.  As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good.  I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial.  I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together.  Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together.  I did not notice then...
