Helping women live life to the fullest.

FAITH

When God sees that you appreciate your NOW, He will start to release you into your NEXT!

August 1, 2019

There is something about gratitude that unlocks the heavens.

I remember, about 4 years ago, about a year after I moved to Columbus to marry my husband Jay, I remember being underemployed.

I was working very few hours for $10 an hour. One week my paycheck was $5 and some change. One week, I worked for 2 full weeks, driving from Columbus to Salem and Birmingham AL and my check was only $300. 🙁

I had an MBA but couldn’t find a job. I interviewed to the point where I wondered if I was even cut out to work. I had been rejected so many times, I wondered, what was wrong with me.

I remember my friend Alisha inviting me to a prayer and fasting group, in the summer of 2015. I was so desperate and in need of a breakthrough, I felt I HAD to join. I started the first successful fast of my life and with all the fleshly stuff like food, coffee, shopping and social media out of reach, I had to lean on God. He had to be my sustenance.

During that 2 week period when I traveled daily from Columbus GA to Salem AL, I remember working this job that was physically taxing, while fasting. I remember having Spirit-led worship in my ears and joy in my heart.

I remember greeting the people I met with kindness and enthusiasm.

I remember one day, doing this repetitive, manual job and thinking, “God, if this is all you have for me, I’m thankful.” I started to think about what I liked about the job.

I could listen to worship all day.

I could make my own hours.

I worked alone so I didn’t have a difficult boss or co-workers to deal with.

I was hopeful that the hours would increase and my pay would too.

Hey, I might even get a promotion!

In that moment, I was thankful. I was really okay with having this small life as a city-turned-country girl.

Then after a month of fasting, a got a call from a major non-profit organization. They said they found my resume / I applied for a job and they needed a web developer. I won’t go into all the God-did-it details, but I DO NOT remember applying for this job. I COULD NOT find a record of this job in any of my job searching profiles. It was totally a God thing!

Long story slightly shorter, God blessed me with a job paying me a SUBSTANTIAL amount, working from home at a Christian organization.

Let me tell you a few keys to breakthrough:

Prayer
Worship
Fasting
Gratitude
Giving (I even tithed my $5 check)
Serving
Plant seeds (Give God something to work with! Invest in yourself, do a training, take a class, sign up for a webinar. There are a lot of free ones out there.)

I pray this encouraged you to be thankful for what you have where you are and to spend a little more time in prayer and fasting.

God is faithful and He sees you!

As a born again believer, you are the righteousnes As a born again believer, you are the righteousness of Christ! You are blameless and set apart. If you fall, you repent (you get up, turn around and go back the right way). You are His!

You have authority and power over darkness! Sorry, no created thing —jewel, crystal, universe, person, or spirit-practice will give you this power, you must be born again. You must stand up and take your place! The world is waiting on us!

Can you imagine having a hefty inheritance but you never cashed the check? Or a high-paying dream job offer and you kept letting the calls go to voicemail?  Or the love of your life sending you sweet love letters and you never opened them? That's exactly what we're doing when we ignore the call of the Father in Christ Jesus!

There is a crown and position waiting for you! One that entitles you to His goodness, power and presence now and the beautiful honor of reigning with Jesus forever! 

Luke 10:19 - Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Romans 8:19 - For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Romans 3:21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. - Jesus

Wanted a little getaway, so I took a day trip to N Wanted a little getaway, so I took a day trip to Newnan. Did a little shopping and headed back home. Next time, I might make it to Atlanta.

In these days in between I’m learning that I’m an adventurer, not an aimless wanderer.

God is so good to show us who we are through His eyes and the lens of scripture.

Where I once felt like an outcast, I can now see that I’m out of the box.

I used to think that I was disloyal, but now I see I’m a bit zealous to say yes. 

Where I once felt late and left behind, I can see that I’m working on His heavenly timing. 

I’m forgoing the good, to say yes to the fullness of God. 

I’m waiting.
I’m resting.
I’m enjoying the view.

I hope you all are having a great Friday and that you have a blessed weekend! 💜💙💜
Sometimes the end of one thing makes way for somet Sometimes the end of one thing makes way for something new and fresh! In the middle, we can sometimes find ourselves mourning what was instead of rejoicing of what’s to come. 

I pray that as one season of your life ends, you can look forward with excitement because God is always doing a new thing! 

Isaiah 43:19 ESV
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
 now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
  and rivers in the desert.
