Epiphany of A CERTAIN Woman

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 le...

Still turning, on page 27, chapter 2012 in this life-story.  I am reminded today that sometimes, we need to pause and praise.  While turning the page, I had to place my bookmark so that I could pause and praise.  A bookmark is a thin marker, commonly made of paper or card , used to keep the reader's place in a book and to enable the reader to return to it with ease.  The bookmark was also used to avoid damage to the pages since the material used to make books was so delicate.  I pause and praise for the things that are to come in this amazing story.  I pause and praise for the manifestation of every promise and fulfillment of each dream.  I pause and praise for the path that led me here.  I pause and praise for every life that has touched my own and the lives that my own life has touched.  I pause and praise for every experience, trial and challenge.  I pause and praise for health, wealth and prosperity.  I pause a...

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...

Still turning, now on page 23 chapter 2012 in this year of Manifested P.O.W.E.R.  It is such a blessing to be able to turn the page.  To appreciate the opportunity it presents.  To recognize that every page is a transition.  I would even venture to say that turning and transitioning are one in the same.  Turning, the scene changes, the mood, the atmosphere, the subject, the event.  To transition means change, the process of changing, Undergo or cause to undergo a process or period of change.  It is process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another.  Do you see the connection?  It is impossible to get to the next place without turning, transitioning, changing!!!  I realized that when I accepted the process and flowed with it, when I did not resist despite the turbulence caused by the storm.  When I just steadied myself and stayed focused on the prize; I experienced the peace that is beyond human underst...

At peace with the Rest of the Story.  Page 20, Chapter 2012, this year of Manifested P.O.W.E.R.  I take this moment and appreciate the Peace... that is beyond human understanding.  I trust the Author, He laid me down and simply began to share with me the Rest of the Story.  He knew the beginning from the end, without even looking.  He read it to me.  I did not have to turn the page this time, He gave me Rest.  He laid me down and spoke into the pages of my future.  He laid me down and told me to trust Him for the Rest of the story.  At peace, I rest in Him and am reminded that It is well.  Trusting, I rest in Him.  He said over and over again, as He looked at me, Peace.    He reminded me that this Peace is a free gift from Him.  Peace, He gave it to me without condition, Peace.  He laid me down, He quoted from my book and He said, Peace.  I rested in this assurance.  I terminated doubt with this as...

Page 19, chapter 2012, The year of Manifested P.O.W.E.R. I am in the elements, some have affected me, my sight, my thoughts and my actions. He put me here, The Author. He knew that everything would work out for my good. It would make a great story, one of honor and glory. He told me it would be All Right. Ok, I'll keep turning these pages. It's all good, this is one thing I know, yes, it is ALL GOOD. So, here in the elements, come what may, I will continue walking through the chapters of this life. Turning the page, one at a time, and when I cannot turn, He blows, ever so gently and softly and the pages simply turn. My sisters, friends and others, please don't be discouraged, if you cannot muster up the strength to turn your pages, just stand and allow the author to turn for you.  Trust Him when the story is not as you might have expected.  Trust Him when you don't recognize the characters, keep allowing the pages to turn.  Trust that as long as you stay in the ...

My Sisters, my friends, turning page 16 of Chapter 2012 in this Journey of Life.  I reflect on the previous pages.  I read the fine print, the footnotes and discovered amazing P.O.W.E.R. on every page.  I realized that during the development of this story, in between the script and verse, it was important for the author to put a footnote to declare what was not clear in the general reading.  You know, the footnote gives you inside information on the general text.  As I thought about this...it dawned on me that my footnotes contain various information, such as "kept by grace", Tried by Fire, Gold refined, and so many footnotes that have kept me standing.  Yes, I am grateful, that as I turn the pages of this book of life and read the "additional information" it really encourages me and reveals to me the true means by which I have survived.  Not by my own strength, but with a supernatural, P.O.W.E.R. that stood when I fell.  My footnotes reminded me ...

My sister, we are on the ninth page of chapter 2012 in the year of Manifested P.O.W.E.R.  Take a look closely, as you walk by that mirror.  Look at her , that beautiful, strong, sensitive woman.  She is the epitome of Blessed.  She has endured fiery trials and she can still smile.  She still wakes up each day expecting that her purpose will be fulfilled.  She wakes up with a kiss from the Son / sun.  Look at her , she should be upset because of all the "stuff" she has had to deal with, but she has maintained her joy, her integrity, her peace and her pace.  Look at her , she is all that and some chips and dip.  Look at her, with her hands lifted in surrender and/or praise.  Look at her , she has not failed or folded, she has survived.  My, my, my...as I look at her, I can see clearly, clearer, that she is a giant slayer and a woman of compassion all at the same time.  Wow, what a gem, what a masterpiece, she is God's greate...
