What's Your Story Mornin' Glory?

Odd and adventurous, life is.  If anyone would have asked me when I was young(er) if I would have taken the path that I did, I would have said "NO WAY!"  I mean I was going to be a radio DJ after all, duh.  But through it all...through it all....  Sorry, had to take a musical intermission.  Back to the story.  I don't know if I mentioned that on top of being OBSSESSED with shoes, I also LOVE to sing. 

Ok, moving on.  We all have a story to tell.  Just like the bible, our stories vary.  There are stories filled with betrayal, murder, lust, lies, etc.  My favorite stories, just like a great movie finale, end in V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!  That's God's favorite too, beloved. 

There are many facets to my story so I'll share a bit at a time as the Lord directs.  I want to make one thing clear.  I am not ashamed of my story.  God created my story just for me.  No one else, no matter how similar, has had the exact same story.  I make no apologies for my story.  It is unique.  If my story offends you, take it up with God.  I have dealt with the ramifications for the choices I have made.  I have repented.  I have paid my dues. 

The goal in telling my story is to help others.  There are so many times that we find ourselves caught in a trap where it seems there is no way out.  There is.  There always is.  I urge you to always, always, always ask for help when you feel yourself stumbling (or being tripped).  Ask a friend.  Ask a Pastor.  Ask a counselor.  Ask God.  God always makes a way. 

I'm going to need help here.  I ask that you come alongside me,  I ask that you share in my victories.  I ask that you share your story.  I ask that you find your voice.

Quiet on the Set!

So I am a woman on a mission.  As if that wasn't blatantly obvious, right?  This week's mission is creating new videos for my team members and myself.  I met an awesome, totally righteous dude recently with a mission of his own.  If you haven't met Ronny (Ronald Earl Wilsher), I recommend that you run, not walk, over to him.   He has a gift of motivation and awakening your creative side.  He challenged me to just get a video out there.  Tell the world what my calling is.  Challenge accepted.  I spend so much time trying to perfect anything that I do that I miss the greater purpose.  You know how it is ladies.....hair won't do, look too fat, smile is crooked and the list goes on and on if we let it.  It's time to stop the madness and step out with the confidence God has given me in who He created me to be.  I am wonderfully and fearfully made and so are you.  We are the apples of His eye and that's a pretty good shape to be.  :D
