NoteWorthy: I AM WOMAN! I AM HERE!

Some of my worst moments in life have prepared me for greater. It is the pressing that brings forth the oil of gladness, joy, and fruitfulness beyond measure.  I consciously changed my way of thinking.... I chose what I leaned into. I leaned out and allowed many things to pass me by. All things are not meant for me to conquer. Nor do I allow those things to overtake me. During my toughest times,my resilience was brought to the surface. Tough times are hard times. Tough times are sad times. Tough times are lonely times. It is a period of reconnecting, rejuvenation, restoration,redefining, and refinement. I wouldn’t want to repeat those hard times but as I look back over my life. I’m so thankful for them and who I’ve become. Because of difficult times I’m now more sensitive to the world around me and what’s happening! My eyes are open and I can see things more clearly and hopefully learn the lesson that’s  hidden in troubled times. There’s ALWAYS a lesson!!!! I look at things much differently now even when it hurts. I’m in a season! An unfamiliar season! Never been here before so I’m cautiously,but graciously moving forward. Years ago, when it rained in my life I would stand in it and get soaked but I fully understand at this point in my life that rain doesn’t pour forever and even when it rains longer than I think it should I’ve learned to dance in the rain. More importantly, where there is a shadow......LIGHT resides! LIGHT always pushes through the darkness......Despite it all dear hearts, if I’m still here to live,love, laugh, experience, explore, discover and yes even cry and hurt. I am still blessed beyond measure! I am HERE!

“The essence of being a woman is much more than just the beauty of her face and body. Every woman is distinct in her own way.  Each one of them has a different beauty, a noticeable personality, style, identity, dreams and the way of carrying themselves varies. But in spite of the differences, each one of them is essential. A real woman is capable of making her own decisions, she’s creditworthy and doesn't follow but she leads. The world is filled with incredible hidden figures. “She’s always about accomplishing goals and she never settles for anything less because she’s a woman. Women possess an inner magnetic force that pulls people into their space. It’s called inner beauty. Her inner beauty cast light on to the outer and it supersedes all things physical where true beauty will shine through for all to see. She would never allow her past to hold her future hostage. We all make mistakes. We all are still growing. We have not yet become anything. Be proud of yourself that you have

NoteWorthy:Dance in the Rain!

I learned through the years that life isn’t always easy. But if you’re always looking at the bad, you will miss the good. I have come to realize though, that just like when finding the silver lining, there is a beauty in the storms.  You have to embrace them. They are a blessing in disguise. How would you know the morning if you never knew the midnight?

“Who do YOU say I am?”

 Notes of Inspiration: 📓🖋 “Who do you say I am?” **************************************** 13  When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;( B ) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”( C ) 15  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” ************************************ In the above text, we find Jesus going about His business doing what only He could. He continues to journey northward until He walks up on His disciple and ask them one of the most profound question in the Bible. Jesus put this question to his followers. Who do you say I am?” Jesus challenge the disciples to assess the true level of their faith. It is an affecting and very human moment. A moment in time, that Jesus was well aware of the buzz of conversation that His work of miracles were causing “I Am” is an important phrase throughout the Bible. The “I Am” st
