Sometimes it is just time for Shift!! Shift is the same thing as change, and change is good!! Just because something has been done the same way for 80 years doesn’t mean it’s supposed to stay that way.

I actually had to take a risk and mention something to someone that I thought might be able to be done in a different way!! Guess what? They actually listened to me and thought I might be able to offer an idea! Can you imagine it?

We are actually going to have a meeting and talk about it. I have lived over a decade with lots of creative ideas floating around in my head about things and if I mentioned it, I was sort of invisible. Well apparently that day is over now! I know the other must have been a pruning process to know it’s not about me, which I got it and I get it!! Loud and clear!!

But there comes a day when someone actually needs to hear and is desperate to hear your ideas!! Yes keep on seeking God and don’t give up and that day will come!!

No rush, I suppose, because you don’t want to miss the lessons during the process! Dying to self is quite a process. Then one day, when you least expect it, “Shift happens!!” Yayeee!!

The more things you had to go through in the process, the more excited you are about the SHIFT and the more you know it’s only God working through you, and not you!!

Even if you get no’s and rejection, don’t take it personally, it doesn’t mean you don’t have something good to offer, just embrace the lesson and don’t give up!!

I know you have something valuable to offer this world, everyone created does! Start creating something out of nothing if you have to! You are valuable, you have a voice, and you are worth it!!

If God has given you a dream don’t give up on it, you could even change many lives with your dream!! If you have failed at something several times, that is probably the thing you need to help others with!!

Listen to those around you, it might change your life! Sometimes it’s the quietest voice that needs to be heard the loudest!!

God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise!!

Always remember that verse! Someone told me to always remember that years ago and I have and it’s true!!

Live Out Loud❤️

Live with purpose❤️

Your voice with show up, if you don’t give up❤️

Shift really does happen❤️

See you soon❤️

 

Some of the things I am writing about are some of the things that will be in my book. Love is a very pure thing, a give and take equally thing. Both people have the same interest in the relationship, without manipulation and lies.

Sometimes a person can be very manipulative in your life and keep calling you their best friend, or whatever until you think they are your best friend. This is not love, this is manipulation and codependency. This is a distraction from someone that is needy.

Im not saying to just ditch this person, I’m saying to make sure there are proper boundaries in place so they don’t steal your identity. How would I know about this? It has happened to me. I’m onto it now, though.

My personality is one that God gave me and the enemy would like to distract me and get me to a place where I’m not sure who I am. Of course friendships and relationships are a wonderful gift from God, but if someone is being controlling and manipulative it is not a gift at all.

That’s why it’s so important to speak into children’s lives about who they are. If they learn very early who they are they won’t stray far from it. Trauma can taint who we are. Especially trauma not dealt with in our life.

Everyone is redeemable and changeable! With God ALL things are possible!! We have to be teachable, moldable, and pliable. When we are those things, we can grow, change, and flourish.

That is good material for a good friend or spouse or anything in our life. Are they teachable, moldable, and pliable? Then you can work together with each other with honor for one another. The place that I have learned to do this the most is at recovery meetings.

My goal is to bring those principles into the church. It could make people understand how to walk in unity more and honor one another’s differences!! That’s what God wants. He wants us all to be unique individuals walking together, hearing each other’s voices, listening, taking what you can from each person and respecting how different they are from you.

In a dysfunctional world, everything that comes out of your mouth is debated. There is a way to disagree that is right, but not to a place where your voice is silenced. That is control, if your voice is silenced. That is what the enemy is after.

Last fall I went to the desert for 6 weeks and got my voice restored. I don’t believe my voice will ever get silenced again because I am onto the enemies tactics. I am so grateful to be moving on to my destiny and helping others along the way!!

Let your voice be heard! Not in a destructive way, you might need more pruning if it comes out too aggressive, but in a loving, truthful way.

Keep  growing and learning❤

Your voice is important❤

Don’t force your will❤

No manipulation❤

God Rules❤

See ya’ll soon❤

Just encouraging you to let your personality shine wherever you go. Don’t give up you for anybody!! Sometimes I have a hard time sticking to this. I start wanting to make the people around me happy, be what they want me to be.

Then I have to remember to be who I am and what God created me to be!! We can even influence people and help them be who they are created to be!!

Lots of times when people are being grumpy it’s because they have lost their way. They are not happy with themselves and stopped remembering who they are and how they shine!

We need to remind them and make it start happening for them again!! My tendency used to be to back off from them if they are being grumpy because it stings. Now I see that I need to come back with speaking who they are and bring it back to life in them.

I am in a new writing class and I absolutely love it! The first thing they had us do was get an acountabilitibuddy… they had a long list of people on there, where they were from, their email, and what their books are about. I love that because it was interactive and that is me.

I picked a lady from Georgia, she and I are matched so perfectly. She has a prayer network and is praying for me in all areas of life. I am so grateful for that! I am doing the same for her!! I ran into something the other day and she was just the voice I needed to hear.

Writing the book is pretty challenging for me, so I haven’t been writing here as much! I will keep you posted what’s going on and I am going to have a private launch page on Facebook so a group of people can help me get it launched.They are teaching me every little thing step by step!!

I also just talked to a young lady that goes to the local college that will help me transcribe, use Word, and put things on a hard drive!! Woo hoo!! Coming together!!

I thank you all for reading and giving me feedback and support! I do feel that writing is one of the ways that I can share my experience, strength, and hope with others.

Keep pursuing you, and what you were put here for. It could be a very simple thing for today, like being a Mom, in your workplace, or where you go to church.

Nothing is wasted. You shining where you are meant to be, can open up doors down the road that you can’t imagine.

Be a blessing today❤

Keep shining❤

This world needs you❤

Don’t give up❤

See you soon❤
