Beauty Within: November 2018

Monday, November 26, 2018

Welcome! 11-26-18

Time is truly going by fast! It seems only yesterday it was January 1st, 2018. Now we are fast approaching January 1st, 2019.

This has been such a year of growth for me spiritually, a year a preparation for sure. As I am growing from faith to faith I am seeing Jesus as more than my strength. Words could not adequately describe what I am feeling in my heart, His faithfulness, goodness, and mercy are beyond human words.
At times all I can do is sit and bask in His goodness. The Bible says it is the Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom, Luke 12:32 and Father in me that does the work, John 14:10. Through the books that I have written and the other things He has placed on my heart to do, I know without a doubt that word to be true. God is the author of the books I write, it's He that gives me the words to type. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be an author, but God did. He specializes in the impossible, He takes what people would say is impossible and says, not so! With God all things are possible!

The Kingdom of God is goodness, grace, and love. As I lean into the heart of God through His word, prayer, talking to him and listening to Him I am experiencing His kingdom. I am finding the more I know Him, the more compassion I have for others.
The bible says we are to pray for and bless our enemies, I used to have a really hard time doing that until I heard a well-known speaker state, the first thing God blesses people with is the truth. This tells me that when I pray for others that have hurt me or done me wrong that they will be blessed with the truth of the Gospel which is love, wholeness, and happiness, joy, basically all that is good! In my opinion, anyone that experiences the true love of God and not "religion" will not be the same.

The world is so hungry and looking for something to take away the void in their lives and give them hope. Something real. I will admit, even after being raised in "church" all of my life, I didn't really know real peace joy and strength until I found Jesus for real for myself.
After experiencing the peace and strength He has given me to get through life's biggest challenges, toughest storms, and hellacious situations NO one can tell me there isn't a God in heaven who sent His son Jesus to pay the price for me and set me free!

Welcome! 11-15-18

I am so grateful God is opening doors (opportunities) for me.

I have come to recognize that when God talks to me about what He has in store for me or calling me to do, usually it is not a right away situation, and there is usually preparation involved. Preparation could mean many things. Sometimes the preparation involves separation. At times it means trusting what He has already said knowing whatever situation comes our way, His word is the final authority. So my preparation at times is trusting Him through the pressure of the situation. Which will take me from faith to faith.
I have also learned that God doesn't start His children off believing Him for huge things. He starts with the small things, graduating us to believe for bigger things as we begin to have faith in Him, trusting Him, no matter what!

I have stated prior to this writing that not everyone can go with you where you are going in life, it doesn't mean anything more than just that. Not everyone in your circle will go with you. Not every person in your life is there for a lifetime, some perhaps maybe, but not usually. Out of all the people I grew up with, I only have one person that I am still in almost daily contact with. It has been an almost 40-year friendship. Everyone has their own life to live and will go their own way on their own path. Some paths stay together and some meet again after years apart.
In some cases, God simply wants alone time with us to get us quiet so He can to talk to us without distractions. People are still in our lives, there is just alone time. If there is too much noise we can't hear Him clearly, and sometimes not at all.
I personally look forward to my alone time with God, it's the place of peace, rest, and clarity.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My team and I have been working on a huge project. In my heart, I felt to set a deadline for the completion of the documentation for this project to be the end of January 2019. At this time all documentation will be submitted for approval, after the approval takes place, look out here we come! A HUGE announcement!

Years ago I heard a great teacher and life coach state, and I paraphrase, learn to be flexible on the journey. On this journey, I have heard that statement echoed in my ear more than once and found it to be valuable advice. There have been needed adjustments my team and I have made along the way, these adjustments will be valued in the future for not only my team and myself but for others that will be benefiting from this project.

Welcome!

Where do I start, and how do I end this publishing? 11-3-18

I had the opportunity to speak this past Sunday at Bible study, "my church", it was such an honor!

I opened my mouth and the words started pouring out. Although I had been in an all-day preparation with a page full of notes, I only looked at them once.
I am passionate about Jesus and what He has done for me. When one goes through mental abuse as I have and comes out on the other side with their sanity and a testimony of the grace of God, how could I not be passionate about Him knowing He has brought me through the intense heat with a testimony of His faithfulness and Love.
As I am writing this, I am reminded of something God spoke to me as I was explaining to Him that I wasn't prepared to go live June 21st, 2018. He said, "you have been being prepared all your life".

When my pastor sent me a message Sunday morning asking me to teach Bible study, she ended her text with, thank you. Although she was asking me, I believed it was as if the Lord was saying through her, It's time, you are doing this. As I was reading her text I was reminded of the scripture in Zachariah 4:10 that talks about not despising the days of small beginnings. I believe it was Gods way of saying, this is your beginning. I am so grateful for it!
