I have the titles of the other books inside my head waiting to be deposited into the world. For now, the titles are written on stones, placed in a circle. I stand in the center and talk to Mr. Universe aka God. He loves the journey we are on together and says that I should share it with the world. It’s my heart’s desire to be a World Renowned Prolific Author. He placed that desire in my heart. It is part of my identity, my DNA. You get to witness my humble beginning. Zechariah 4:10 (NLT) states … Do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.
He’s the Boss and I know that whatever He calls me to will never be boring. He stretches me. There are days when I am so far out of my comfort zone that I feel like I can’t do what He is asking me to do. I feel so utterly inadequate. When I am ready to give up He will randomly send a friend to encourage me, a new strategy to do what I thought was impossible or simply have me take a short break from it all.
The battle within can be fierce. But OH the VICTORY is so SWEET when it all comes together time and time again. God truly is always present. I CAN do ALL things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13.
I love the transformation that happens when I allow my sweet Jesus to lead … LOL. He is the bestest friend … EVER! He gets in free to movies.
Friends are important to me and I value each one deeply. I have many acquaintances and I love to hang out with different pockets of people.
Imagine a big dartboard with all the circles. The Triplets (God, Jesus and Holy Spirit) are my center, Larry is the next ring, then my children. As the rings get bigger I have my inner circle of friends and honestly those people change, depending on where my focus is. At the moment, the people in my inner circle are those connected to the birthing of my book. When the phone rings, an email dings on my phone or there’s a question that needs and answer, they get my full attention. Others are part of the outer rings, which depend on what activities we are involved in. If they aren’t in my line of sight on a regular basis it doesn’t mean that they aren’t important its just that I focus on what’s in front of me … that’s how I’m wired.
If one of my kids is hurting or not feeling the love, everything is rescheduled so that I can have that precious one on one time with whichever one needs me. Mothering and nurturing is my thing. Recently I dropped everything, went through a takeout window and surprised my youngest at school with lunch. I held that precious child of mine and whispered in her ear that she was deeply loved and highly treasured. Both of us had tears well up but no way could we let them fall in the school cafeteria!
I have some special friends that have the privilege of floating in and out of my inner ring anytime they want to. These ladies are my soul sisters, they have special names like Nutty Buddy and Book Twin. They are the ones I go face down on the floor fervently praying and interceding for. I will “Warrior Up” till they see breakthrough. They are also the first ones I go to when I need a breakthrough. I reap what I sow. I believe this is what Jesus intended for us all.
Often, I give Holy Spirit full permission to fill me up to overflowing. I like to slosh when I walk because I am so full of LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, KINDNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF CONTROL. Unfortunately, I don’t slosh every day, Carnal Christie rears her flesh up from time to time. My sweet Jonesie would laughingly call her my evil twin. She would come to visit once a month and stay several days. He would get excited and hug me tight when he knew she had packed her bag and left. She hasn’t visited me that often since my wonderful hysterectomy three years ago.
Now I have no excuse … I just own it!
I’m learning not to be complicated. God has been teaching me to K.I.S.S daily.
K … eep
I … t
S … imple
S … weetie.
I know how to love deeply because I am loved deeply.
I know how to be an overcomer. I am no longer a victim.
I know peace that truly can’t be explained.
I AM A VESSEL OF NOBLE USE………
