Waiting for me can be excruciating. My thoughts wander to dark places and I have quite the imagination. What I’ve learned is that waiting is necessary at times and when I need to wait, I try not to focus on the issue but my healer and the one who gives me strength. This thinking brings me peace and how I avoid getting caught up in negativity. So here I am, hearing news that would have taken me to a bad place once upon a time, yet today, I know who and where my help come from. No matter the outcome, I know that He is the way, the truth and life. Still not sure exactly but may have a clue, although additional tests need to happen… but what I do know is everything happens for a reason. God won’t give me more than I can handle and just typing that brings me joy! God will not give me more than I can handle… which means that I can handle this. Multiple Sclerosis could be my answer.
I often write about strength, power and might. Throughout the years, I have said that God has made me a fighter! A warrior for His army and today is no different. I am a prayer warrior and I encourage. I remind believers of the authority they hold in Christ Jesus. I believe in good things because that is what God promised me. I am without doubt, fear or uncertainty because to be so is foolish. I will not succumb to emotion because that could lead me down a slippery slope. I hold on to truth. Today is a good day because I am finding the reasons to my ailment. On my way to a new way of living and it’s all good. Discovery is refreshing and sets my optimism in motion…how wonderful it is to know that God is bigger than any illness, tragedy, shortcoming we have. This is the Christians time to shine. Be bold in Him, and to share the goodness of the Lord! I have not ever been one to mince words… I preach with vigor, I teach with passion and I am unapologetic as a leader! This is the blessing of God to me, for Him! Many can’t take an ounce of me and I can live with that! Just like espresso, I am too strong for some folk, cuz I pack a punch. Many rather smile and get along, no trouble… while judging your every word, move and decision. Prisoners to themselves. One reason why I pray. I am not always right but I serve Him who is. I am not the best, but I rely on Him who made me qualified. I am not the smartest, but His knowledge and intellect are unlimited.
Thank God!
I learned and continue to absorb is, the wiles of Satan are cunning and manipulative, yet his deception are growing less superior to my thoughts. My voice is stronger than his lie! My desire for God is steadfast. I stand up. I stand strong. We stand united! In prayer, in fasting, in sharing. This is not the time to question authority, now is the time to work in unity, as the body of Christ! To show the world how we roll in Christ, our Lord, who we serve! Now is the time to put away judgment and put on humility.
Now is the time to shine!
How we appear is who we are!
If we reap discord we are no better than the world.
God won’t have it!
Immeasurably More
