Never!

Just a reminder: God never forgets a name, never loses an address, never makes a mistake, never has a moment's hesitation in knowing where we are or what we are doing, never forgets, never breaks a promise, never lies, never leaves us nor forsakes us... the key word here being NEVER... you want someone that will never do you wrong... then you better go with God! 

A Woman!

I am... a woman who has seen the power of God at work in her life... a woman who has learned that God loves her unconditionally, despite her mistakes... a woman who has witnessed God’s peace in the midst of great turmoil, that perfect peace which passes all understanding... a woman of God, flawed & imperfect, yet a walking testimony and miracle of how He can use all good & bad things for His glory... a woman who is a believer of Jesus and feels compelled to share the Gospel with others... I am only this woman, by the grace of God... I am a daughter of the King. And, that is the best gift I could ever receive! 

Stop and Rebuild!

It is time to stop weeping at what was and start shouting for joy at what is going to be built! I don’t know what it will look like, I don’t know how it will happen, I don’t even know what it is... but I know HE is faithful and I will trust HIM!

This is my word as I step into 2020: Rebuild

Stop weeping and Rebuild!

Stop worrying and Rebuild!

Stop comparing and Rebuild!

Stop waiting and Rebuild!

Stop looking back and Rebuild!

Stop crying and Rebuild!

Stop reminiscing and Rebuild!

Stop wondering what could've been and Rebuild!

And trust that what was doesn’t even compare to what is about to be built, because Jesus will be right in the middle of it! I don’t think this is just about me... There will be rebuilding for you in 2020... Whatever your situation! Let us shout for joy! Happy New Year! *borrowed from Facebook

Ministerial Internship!

I've reached the last course, #10 towards completing the certified level of ministry courses. God helped me to make this decision to work towards ministerial credentials last year, after clarity came that the season of learning and growing to get to this point was complete; the true meaning of 'my church of completion' came last year; it's all been but preparation to this point. No previous church I've been a part of has been in vain. God's used every bit of it to get me to this point, even if I might have made a few wrong turns along the way. Oh, I will never stop growing and learning this side of glory, but God is elevating me to where no one will no longer hinder me with their "you're not ready for ministry" or "you won't be in a ministry leadership position no matter how many times you ask or make yourself available" remarks and naysayers. Apparently, people don't realize we all enter some area of ministry the day we get saved, if it's truly our heart's desire to see other people saved. I look back on everything I've been a part of, every area of ministry I've worked in at church or outside of church since I was 14, and for 21 years, God has never NOT used me. There have just been seasons where I pushed away and didn't want to be used of Him or sit on the lies of the enemy or others that I was inadequate to be used of Him. Now, since May 23, 2019, I've been learning loads of material, taken 9 previous final exams, uploaded 9 previous writing assignments, and received As and a few Bs for my final grades; money spent for enrollment and for each course plus time and studying/reading. My mentor book arrives this week, so I can work towards finishing this 10th internship course. I'm thankful for such a supportive pastor, who reminded me again tonight of the calling I have on my life, and how he's there with me every step of the way, and he wants me to be a part of church ministry.                                                                                                  So, here's to 2020, year 36 on earth, in which I'm thankful to be supported as a woman in ministry. I'm thankful that despite my previous running, God placed me right back where I needed to be to continue being His Hands and Feet until He calls me home! Sometimes the enemy blinds us to the truth and does his best to pull us away from the very ones that are actually in our corner, and puts us somewhere where we so desperately want them to be in our corner, only to find out they were secretly against you the whole time! I know tonight more than ever the beautiful side to what the enemy meant for evil, God turns it for our good! I no longer take my heritage of being raised in the Assembly of God church for granted, and all the years I spent running from it, God stayed right there with me. Though, I never stopped learning or growing and I've met dear friends along the way, I knew something inside me was missing, and this is it: that the way I was raised in church is the way God intended me to be all along! ♡ This is what fits me, what suits me best, the way I worship! #GlobalUniversity #AssembliesOfGod #PentecostalHeritage #BereanBibleSchool #EducatingMyselfForHisGlory #ministrylife
