You Are Remarkable

You are remarkable, useful, intelligent, kind, important, beautiful, valuable, loveable, treasured! You have a hope and a future! Jer. 29:11

That’s the TRUTH! All other voices are lies!

I’ve always been able to put into words my thoughts and feelings. I’m descriptive and unapologetic in my writing and public speaking.

I remember being on a stage in front of few hundred people around the age of 13, singing and preaching like it was nobody’s business. Afterwards, a young woman around 18 years old walked up to me and told me I was fake. As a child, it hurt me immediately, but then on the ride home Holy Spirit asked me to decide then if I was going to allow hate, meanness, cruelty, opinions, or opposition to stop me.

Honestly, the question in my spirit was truly that sobering and real. Still it is so vivid in my memory. I decided to push forward.

Developing a tough skin is ongoing and I am a work in progress. That said, I don’t regret one thing I’ve ever done or said for the Lord. People didn’t qualify me and people cannot disqualify me! I won’t allow it.

Yes, I struggle with my own thoughts and insecurities sometimes, but through it, I must say that I remain tenacious. At the end of the day, I am thankful for that mean girl who let the devil use her. From that night on I picked up my sword and never looked back!

If your looking for popularity you won’t find it representing the truth or morality. If you are looking to be a reflection of grace, then God will be glorified in that He uses such ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Most of the beautiful demonstrations of Christ in me have been done in obscurity. This is not popular opinion, it is the truth!

Jesus said, “If any man wants to come with me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24-26

Here I go… following.
