Transitioning

{S}he woke up to the sun shining brightly and warm. She could hear the birds singing their morning songs. She is a morning lark herself. {A lark, early bird, or morning person is a person who usually gets up early in the morning and goes to bed early in the evening.}

The early bird gets the worm.
-Benjamin Franklin

Over the past several months things have shifted, transformed and transitioned. The transitioning. Yeah, that's a constant.

Since 2009, after the miracle I experienced, God has been doing some major transformation work in me. The music video linked below: You Are More by Tenth Avenue North is my life's theme song. As part of the lyrics say, "I'm not who I used to be" & "I've been remade".

GOD has changed me. HE has given me a new perspective and outlook in my life.

By the first of July I will be offering Biblical Life Coaching services. GOD has given me a calling to use more of the gifts He has placed in me. I'm humbled to bits about this. I can remember from a time when I was a teen that people would just open up to me and spill their guts to me. That's a hard thing to go through ... people offloading onto me. God has given me the unique ability to not absorb the emotions and attitudes of people. I learned this is my body work. If one isn't careful they take on the other person's pain, emotions and depression, etc.

So, what is GOD doing in your life? Name one area you are being challenged in. Leave a comment below and share how GOD is transforming you.

Prayer: Dear Abba El Shaddai, GOD, I lift up my readers to YOU and pray that they will be blessed and challenged to seek YOU and allow YOU to work in them transforming them for YOUR glory and honor. I pray that YOU bring them through their pain and depression, frustration and stress. Show them in the most unique way, that only would come from YOU, YOUR love, compassion, mercy and grace. Thank YOU, GOD. In the name of Jesus, the Messiah, amen.

Insecurity

Over the past 3 1/2 years I've been going through this transformation. Those of you who've been reading my blog and following me know the transitions I've went through. I've ranged from deeply depressed to elation. My history is one of abuse and being the victim.

This past October (2012), I hit a low. Not my deepest low, but a low nonetheless. I began to have insecurities that were running amuck. They were over running my mind. I had this weird feeling that my husband was cheating on me, to him going to leave me by the wayside. The adversary was wreaking havoc on my mind and soul. I reached the point where I said enough is enough. My husband approached me and discussed with me how he felt we were exhibiting co-dependency issues and we needed to deal with it. He suggested each of us focus on our own personal development and get ourselves on track. So, I endeavored to do so. I found loads of personal development websites that put me on the right track. What a huge difference life has been this past several months. One of new beginnings and a new perspective of positivity.

This morning during my quiet time with the LORD and my devotional readings I came across this post: Quit Welcoming Insecurity as a Friend | +Mary DeMuth. Just recently, within the past two or three months, I came across Mary's blog. I'd been following her on Facebook and Google Plus. I just never went to her blog for some reason. Maybe I wasn't ready for it. Well, after I discovered it, she was releasing a new book. I bought a copy. I've got so much to read I've not had a chance to read it yet. It's on my reading list though. So, she was posting all sort of positivity promoting her book. I saved some of the images to my desktop to see everyday as a reminder.

All that to say this: Insecurities are fears. Fears are False Evidence Appearing Real. If you're feeling insecure, seek the LORD and His Word. Read Mary's Blog and books. I guarantee, once you hand over the insecurity to the LORD and leave it there, you'll be a new person and be full of security and trusting of the LORD. Stop believing the lies of the adversary. He wants nothing more than to steal your joy and see you downtrodden. Don't give him the satisfaction. GOD has already won the victory through Jesus Christ and salvation. Claim the victory, in Jesus Christ!
