Here is yet another week of Five Minute Friday where uplifting women gather together on Twitter for a session of encourage, laughter, and really cool ideas. I somehow managed to miss the videos they've been doing and I gotta say, it's such an amazing idea to get to know the women we chat with every week. To hear ones voice makes everything that more real. It builds a connection with the face and words we see on screen. Kudo's ladies :)
Last week, I made a vow that I was going to stop letting all the difficulties I've been dealt get to me. And this week I am very happy to say, I'm focused and poised. Praise God!
This is when we are given our writing prompt and given 5 minutes to write freely about what's on our heart. So, without further procrastination, our word is: REAL

Recently, I have been in awe of what the Lord has been doing in my life. I sometimes think I need to pinch myself to make sure I'm still alive and breathing. That's it's not some sort of dream or fairy-tale I've been in. Is this real I ask myself? How can God use someone as myself with such sin and shame? For years I hid my past and wouldn't budge on revealing it especially to the public. Maybe a close friend or two but that was pushing it. And my husband and children? How would they react if I stood in front of a group of people and talked about the demons that would haunt my dreams? I know in about every post, I mention something to do with this... but you see, I must because God has shown me such mercy and grace and I want everyone to know they can have it too! He is our REAL LIVING GOD who works in each of us for a very specific purpose. We each have our duties to fulfill and this Saturday marks yet another milestone in my walk of faith. I'll be speaking at my church (I'm pretty new to this church that God has placed me at). It's a women's breakfast and the ladies have asked me to be their guest speaker. God has truly granted me this blessing and it will be the launch of the ministry Refuge Under the Willow. I;m nervous and very excited all at once. This will be my 4th time speaking however it feels like it's the most important one I'll ever do and I don't know why because I would think the 1st one was the one that made all this happen in the first place.
STOP
STOP
I don't know what all God has up His sleeve but as long as it's His will for me, I am remaining obedient and following the path He is leading me. I pray each one of you are able to reach out and take His hand knowing He will guide you along this journey.
Prayer & Love Always,
