CREATED TO STAND OUT!

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which he set], so that would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. Ephesians 2:10 Amp

I’ve only shared a piece of my story; one day I’ll be able to share it all. I promise. But I’m starting to understand what He’s doing. God is dealing with what was done in me. However, this is so much bigger than just me. I know that there are so many people praying for me and my family. So, it’s not just my faith that’s being increased or tested.

I believe I needed a reminder, and God got an audience to showcase the power of trusting and believing in Him. I’m learning to let go of what no longer belongs, accepting the invitation to dream bigger and trusting His infinite power at work in me one step at time.

Whether you care or not, you are a living witness of what you believe and people are watching to see if you live that which you preach, speak and teach. It matters how I respond to adversity. Now, I may not handle things the way others would. I’m ok with that. I’m me and that’s all I was created to be. So, I smile even when I’m sad. I sow grace because that’s what I’d want for myself, and I still choose to believe the best in people because I know anything is possible.

Divorce is like a death, and it totally feels like it. Again, this is NOT what I wanted but this is where my circumstances have brought me. So, who am I outside of being a mother and a wife, what is my purpose and why is this so hard?

Well, the greatest struggles yields the greatest rewards and outside of being a mother and wife, I am a person. I agree sometimes we as women, forget that. Hence, I’m being reminded. God will use every part of me and my life but first, I needed to know I AM equipped to conquer every obstacle I face. I needed to know I CAN navigate through change gracefully with courage and joy. I needed to understand meekness is NOT weakness. Fear, disbelief, procrastination, worry and doubt had to GO! But most importantly, I needed to believe I AM fearfully and wonderfully made, trust in Him and myself, step out of my comfort zone and confidently

SHINE BRIGHT!
