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.

Hello Love...

Page 8, Part 2, Chapter 2016 embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution).  Sitting here reflecting on you.  In awe and appreciation of your power in every area of life.  Recognizing that you have enabled me, (in a good way) with a level of strength beyond my human ability.  Because of you, I am confident that all things will work out for my good.  You have guided and provided, opened and closed, lifted and brought down, wounded and healed, mortified and made alive.  You are amazing.  I just wanted to acknowledge you once again as the source of my strength and the strength of my life.  No one else gets the credit for who I am, no one else would tolerate me, with my flaws and short-comings like you have or like you can, no one else is worthy of all of me except you who has given me all of you.  So, I say with all the passion and tenacity that you have instilled in me hello Love, hello!  Thank you for the of the most abundant life!

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...

EXPEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE

Greetings my friends, A great day to be here my sister-friends....it is the seventeenth day of the second month in the year of FULLNESS AND GLORY. I am so blessed to be learning my ABC's along with you. "this is not for wimps". Today, we share E....EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE. In this world of "just getting by attitudes", we certainly experience so many mediocre results. I am always encouraged when I realize that being in the image and likeness of God...I should never fail to put forth the efforts that will EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE. If I am created in the image of an all-wise, perfect God, who has numbered the hairs on my head...and If He has empowered me with HIM....to fulfill a purpose here on earth. Everything I do, should reflect the perfection and excellence of my creator. I cannot and will not settle for "Just so", I must, we must strive to EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE in every area, in every situation, in our talking and walking in our driving and striving...
