It was totally out of her character to cut up and not obey her husband. God has a way to cause the witty, wise and beautiful to mess up, so that your message of moving into their position cause a mix-up, what a ministry for Esther!
I was approached at work. A lady came to me and said…Everyone hates YOU!
2 AprShe walked in my office and said, everyone here hates you.She said, “People talk about you all the time, your clothes, your voice, your kindness..blah, blah, blah!”
I laughed and thought and said, “well”…She said, “They hate the fact that you are always happy and nice to people.” I laughed and I said,” well” again….Silence lingered for a while and then I spoke with a sincere heart and mind.
“A light on the top of hill is hard to hide. I have to love some at a distance and some up close, it is not I but Christ that lives in me.” She said, “How does that make you feel? I said,” feelings are not an option in this profession. Nevertheless, not my will (feelings) but God’s well be done. My Jesus was kissed by Judas and then I wink!”
I am meek, not weak!
I prefer you to hate my shine and know that I love you, than for you to say, I like you and befriend me and dim my lights to adjust to your daylight…
I spend a large amount of my day thinking, especially in the morning.
2 AprThe mind is a powerful tool. I oftentimes find myself in deep thought consistently through the day. I am either plotting the execution of my dreams, defending my dissertation finally and/or in another country eating something delicious and learning a new language. I am so not here …here most of the time. Do not get me wrong, I am loving the NOW of my life but I am zone into another world, existing in a world of my own where the anointing of God rest on me heavily. I especially feel his presence in the morning, it is sweet and yet like a burning fire in my bones. POWERFUL! I was reading a blog from wandering yet not lost, awesome! There is something so great happening, I sense it …funny at work I am referred to as a puppet…I laugh because I am actually God’s puppet…and the best seller is opening soon!
Life Lesson…
30 MarI truly understand why God commands us not to judge.. I have seen it all this year…he commands us to pray for brothers. I love now with more compassion for others. Forgiving myself, self love…loving others.
I finally learned my lesson and moved to another playing field.
29 MarDeep reflection time….am I interested in breaking bread with you? No…. I can provide bread, set the table, ask blessing but then I must go. It is what it is.
It was painful but purposeful!
27 MarDo not take the negative negatively…take it positively. God is using the trouble for your good. Powerful Bishop Noel Jones! I trace back over my life and I see how the difficult moments worked for my good! WOW!
Oprah…wow! I love this saying!
27 MarA dream is nothing more than a big challenge that you put on yourself!
POWERFUL!
Perfect TIMING!
27 MarVashti is the wife of King Ahasuerus, but although she was appointed- she was not annointed! WOW…She had to disobey her King so that the right Queen could be put into place! OMG! After Esther got into place- the HATERS showed up! But Esther was BOLD, Beautiful and sent by GOD! WHAT!
Thank you JESUS!
