When God gave me another chance to change my life to something extraordinary, I took the challenge. I am all in. I never knew that some days would be so challenging that I would want to turn back. As I was reading the Bible the other night about the story of Abraham, I started to think do I have what it takes to please God no matter what?
A few months ago God woke me up to give me specific details of the things that He expected of me to accomplish through Him. While it was very exciting to be chosen and spoken directly to by God, as the words unfolded on the paper, my mind began to think “I can’t do this”. And no I can’t, not in my own might or strength or wisdom, but God said to trust Him. So I am.
As I immediately began to set out on total faith to begin the plans of what the Lord wanted me to do, He opened doors for me that I can’t even begin to explain. One of the major things God asked me to do was hold a conference for women to introduce the ministry that He asked me to coordinate – The Butterfly Journey Ministry. But wait not only shall I host a conference, but it was to be in Seattle, WA (somewhere I have never been) for 1000 women. I decided not to tell anyone but a few close spiritual friends that would be praying for me and coming along side me to help me see this mission through. My bank account doesn’t show any signs of opening up with huge amount of seed money to pull this off, so by faith we shall do this.
I connected with an event planner in the Seattle area who has been a true God-send. I told her up front that this was being planned on faith alone and she never thought I was crazy or anything. As a matter of fact she embraced the idea and said even if I didn’t use their services to get this event together that she personally wanted to attend because she was so drawn with my testimony. A few days past as she went to consult with her boss about taking on my event and came back to me to say that her and her boss would be not only helping me to plan this event, but they would be praying on that end of the country for the success of the event. They have taken hold of the vision for the ministry that God has given to me! Wow, I am way past amazed!
Needless to say that they have found a wonderful venue to hold the conference and the facility personnel is all in to help me make this vision come to life. Now I need the women, I don’t know where they will come from but I know that they will come if God ordained this conference. He wants to give them something that they need, that they seek, He wants to change their lives forever!
Because the outcome is going to so great and far beyond anything I can imagine, I can’t turn back. I have to fulfill the promise that I made to God that I would lead this ministry for the women of this world. I want to be the catalyst that will help women heal, find their purpose and move into their destiny. The mission is more important than anything that I have done in my life and I don’t take it lightly. It’s all or nothing.
Can you help me find the women that God wants to move in their lives, to change from the inside out, to fill that void that nothing else can fill but Him? I need your help on this one, to stand in agreement with me that we can do this and lives will be changed and God will get the glory!
It’s all or nothing!
