Philippians 4:8-9 says, “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed “(NLT). Remind yourself you are the head and not the tail, your above always and never beneath. Get up, look in the mirror tell yourselves I am who God says I am, what is that you might be thinking , well you are farefully and wonderfully made, In Psalms 139 verse 13 to 15 it is written by David . For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Look at it he knew you before you were even conceived and he still loves you flaws and all.
Ladies we are not defined by our mistakes or the mistakes of our child/childreen it’s the chances we take, the people we meet, the people we love, the faith that we have and demonstrates. That’s what’s going to define you and I.
People will talk so let them. Hold your head up high put your shoulders back we’ve got this. I remind myself every single day I can do all things through christ that strengthens me. Faith will get you to a point. Luck will get you to a point. But to achieve the kind of success we dare to dream about, we need to WORK. There are no shortcuts, you can’t cheat life, just get to work and don’t stop until you reach your goals.” Life throws lemon you make lemonade.
Write the book you have always wanted to do, open the business, motivate someone else remember, always put God first in everything you do. Everything that I have is by the grace of God, I understand that. It’s a gift. I didn’t always stick with Him, I felt weary, low, I screamed I cried but He stuck with me. He loved me when i didnt even love myself. He put me straight when I gave up and literally wanted to die. He loves me even me.
I thank him for my friends who never left my side, my husband who held me up when I could not hold myself up. My family who stood by me when it mattered the most. Our prayer group who kept me prayed up everynight, men and women of God both here in the Uk and abroad. Find someone to talk with and pray with study Gods word. Speak to him and he will answer I assure you we do not serve a God who is deaf or his hand too short to move mightly.
Who would have that i would have written a book about the hardest years and challenges 0f my life. Who would have thought I would have lived passed the shame, hurt and guilt. Who would have thought the lord would have performed Ezekiel 36 in me ridding me of all filtiness and idols, sprinkling his clean water on me, removing my heart of stone for a heart of flesh. A brand new heart one that is obedient to his precepts and laws.
So be encouraged as its not by our works but by God’s grace hence no man can boast. I am available and will speak to anyone who needs someone to uplift them and pray with and for them.
