Greetings to you all,
It's been a while; but, I'm back! I've been challenged and I've been changed. This year has definitely lived up to its representation numerically, 8 being the number of NEW BEGINNINGS.
I would like to stop in my tracks now and acknowledge that THANKSGIVING is one day away, so, Happiest Thanksgiving Ever to you all and I pray you love and safety during this holiday season. There is truly MUCH to be thankful for in all of our lives. The fact that I'm writing this now and you're reading it, is reason enough to be thankful because it means God has blessed us with another day! As I continue with the thought of Thanks Giving, I must be GRATEFUL for this life's lessons that I've just come through. I now believe the saying "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger", I felt like I was dying most of time, though this death was more spiritual than natural.
Be careful of things that come upon you at once, not giving you time to prepare. Those sneak attacks of the enemy can only get you when your not expecting them; but, it reminds me of the truth that as Christians we are always to be prepared because our enemy walks around as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. I was not expecting what came my way and there were multiple attacks all at once, but, I thank God that truly GREATER IS HE that is within me than he that is in the world and grateful am I for great friends who girded me up through this time.
GOD is wonderful, NEVER letting me fall!!! HE KEPT ME!!!
In this season, I've learned a lot about myself and have learned to re-appreciate the things about me and my character that makes me, "ME". I have learned my strengths and am facing my weaknesses; yet, in all things God is still God and ever the Teacher (Master). As trials came, lessons were learned and when confusion would have overtaken me, I was commanded to pray. In my obedience, revelation and truths that the enemy was trying to conceal were revealed and TRUTH won!!!
Thank you Father for loving me, your child!
Now that the 2 month trial is winding down (there are still issues to face), I see with clarity my purpose in this life. It is not just to teach kingdom principles; but, wholeness principles with a biblical foundation of Truth. Our ministry's focus was always women, always Christians, always Love based; however, now that God has allowed me to prevail in a season when the enemy was after my identity, personality, "self" and my truth; all in an attempt to kill me and destroy the vision, keeping it from manifesting - I am even more adamant about making sure it's clearly visible and audible. Kill the visionary and the vision die, right. Well, not when it's ORDAINED to be!
Women of Destiny, LLC "Purpose-Minded to Promise." (TM) has become an ADVOCATE for self-esteem, self-awareness and love. We'll strive to teach women to embrace the TRUTH of God and their own personal truth of "self". For when we know who we are, understanding fully our value system and what makes us uniquely us, no one can come along and shake that.
We must always value and celebrate the truths of "self" and if by chance, the truth we see is not acceptable, then change it. Choose to reinvent yourself... all you have to do to change your life is - CHANGE YOUR MIND!
Look for more on this topic here and at
http://www.p-mtp.com , in the upcoming year. Expect to hear MORE, see MORE and BE MORE as we attempt to expound upon this topic all while growing in the love and admonition of the Lord.
God Bless You,
It's good to be back!
