Are You the Answer to Someone's Prayer
GET OUTTA UR WAY
WE ARE MAGNETS DRAWING OR REPELLING PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS INTO AND AWAY FROM OUR LIVES. LOSING FOCUS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN DIRECTION. LONLINESS AND CONFUSION CREEP IN AND WE FEEL AS THOUGH GOD HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT US AS OUR PRAYERS SEEMINGLY GO UNANSWERED. GET OUTTA UR WAY IS AN INTROSPECTIVE JOURNEY AND INNER QUEST TO CONSISTENTLY SEE, FEEL AND KNOW GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE MIDST OF LIVING LIFE. SO GET OUTTA UR WAY AND EXPERIENCE THE BLISSFUL LIFE YOU WERE CREATED TO ENJOY.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
Oh, wow my last blogpost was in April 2016. It was a
video that I did in the conference room of my old office space. It was a day
without makeup, but a lot of thoughts. I was consumed with how great people functioned
in the midst of being very afraid and was inspired to do a video. My life has
changed so drastically since 2016. Little did I know April 2016 was the last
month of my life being settled and mundane. My greatest worries were college
tuition for my son and ensuring my company had funds monthly to remain self-sustaining.
May 2016 ushered in a tsunami of challenges that still seem to overtake me. I
have been walking with wobbly water legs since. Some days I just feel I cannot
go on. There are no real respites. I just stop and decide to be grateful,
smile, laugh, and encourage others at sporadic intervals throughout a given day.
I always make a point of telling others that as I encourage you, I encourage myself.
The people that receive services through the
non-profit I have been blessed to steward are my sheroes, heroes and props.
They make me laugh and their desire to change their lives gives me strength to
catch my breath to be there for them. We truly are helping each other. In the
swirl of politics, a pandemic, and mounting societal issues everyone has been
living with water legs. So, I was well equipped for the challenges placed upon
the world in 2020. Thankfully, today I feel more hopeful than I have been in
the past four years. There is no specific event and there is no financial
windfall it is just an inner knowing from Holy Spirit that “the storm is
passing over.”
The subject Where Have You Been? connotes a sense of missing
in action or lost. However, it is in the sense of being lost that I have come
to realize that I was actually collecting unfinished fragments of myself that
allowed me to truly relate to people that live with insurmountable challenges. I
accepted the assignment to help people experience a life of accepting the
person God created them to be. Not realizing that to be fully engaged in the assignment
required what felt like a total collapse of my life as I knew it. I said to a
few people I do not even recognize my life. Where did it go? What happened to
it?
Today I know that nothing happened to me or my life. I
needed to grow and things that seemed like challenges were designed to
strengthen my spirit to be of greater service. Nothing has been withheld or
held back. I believe that God is a master mixologist with capacity to take hard
chunky pieces and make them like silk. The blending process is loud, resistant,
and sometimes parts of us gets stuck on the walls of life in the process. Then
God comes and moves the stuck pieces back into the blended parts. The outcome
is delicious, tasteful, and aesthetically appealing. Additionally, the completed blend does not display evidence or
proof that at one time the ingredients were detached and foreign to
each other.
Therefore, the question is not Where Have You Been? but
Where Are You Going?

I AM AFFIRMATIONS
Life is beautiful! However life can also be difficult and hard. It is so easy to allow tragedies, disappointments and setbacks to get in our way. Thereby sullying God's sacred posture in our human experience. When Moses had an encounter with God and questioned how he was to identify or describe God to the children of Israel. God replied to Moses:
Mirror work has been used for eons to bring people into alignment with their purpose, destiny, and calling. Instead of reciting traditional positive affirmations let's use scripture for backup.

I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
It is so easy to get lost inside of our minds and believe things about ourselves that are untrue. Sometimes we have to step back and consult with the ultimate authority regarding our importance and significance to the Creator of the Universe.
Psalm 139:1-18
