Listen, I’ve got something to say…
After years of chasing degrees, success, and other things of this world, God made it clear that I needed to get rid of my possessions and pick up my cross. Since being on the race, I’ve chosen to live each day intentionally and have fallen madly in love with Him in the process.
You may look at me, scroll through my social media accounts, and think I have it all together-but I don’t! See, that’s the problem with the church today. We’re not authentic! We’re too busy ‘playing church’ and pretending to be ‘perfect Christians’ that we’ve forgotten where we started and all of the good God has done. We’re human. We’ve made mistakes and we STILL DO! I am a sinner and THAT’S why I need a Savior!
But the beauty in all of that? My entire life, the choices I’ve made, the suffering I have endured, and all of my sins will ALL be used for HIS GLORY!
Romans 8:28 tells us that “…every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are His lovers who have been called according to His designed purpose.” (TPT)
God knew me and EVERY choice I’d make in this life before I was even formed in my mother’s womb! He knew the battles I’d face, the impact these things would have on my heart, and how every situation and struggle would build my character and equip me for my destiny! He’s had a plan all along and makes NO mistakes!
As I sit here piecing together my unique story, God’s vision for my life is becoming clearer. As a black girl, I was always told that I would have to work TWICE as hard before my efforts would ever be noticed. So I fought tirelessly to make a difference-to be DIFFERENT! On that path, I reached a point where my spirit lost its drive. Success didn’t bring me the fulfillment I desired and I fell deep into sin. DEEP! Right in the middle of my mess, God picked me up, forgave every single one of my sins, ripped me from a path that was leading me STRAIGHT TO HELL, and placed me in His Kingdom! He loved me through my darkest moments. Not because I ever deserved it, but because HE thinks I’m worth it. In my Father’s eyes, I’m to die for!
It is MY RESPONSIBILITY to shine my light everywhere I go! My testimony is my gift to empower every soul who hears it and to help them realize the glory of God in themselves! I REFUSE to be placed in a box by society because of the color of my skin or conformed to the ways of this world! And I will fight for the lives of my brothers and sisters! I AM THE DAUGHTER OF A KING and I shall NOT be moved! My God is with me and goes before me everywhere I go! I AM HIS!
And when I speak, Satan better watch out because my testimony SHIFTS the spiritual realm and DEFEATS THE ENEMY! My story is my weapon and I AIN’T afraid to use it! Yeah, I said it! My words bring FREEDOM! They bring LIFE!
So, God, YES! I will BOAST of my weaknesses, my hardships, and my troubles so that YOUR POWER can work through me! For when I am weak, I am STRONG!
