Dear Lord, This podcast is for you. God, I pray that you speak through my mouth, use my story, my boldness, my crazy, Lord…Anything you want, it’s all for you. In Jesus’ name.
To Be CHOSEN
My school years were tough, I was never the popular kid, or the smart kid, I was the misfit. I remember being a little girl when bullying reigned the playgrounds as well as in the classroom.
Gym class was an especially horrible time for a very awkward and extremely uncoordinated young lass. When teams were chosen, I wanted to disappear. I hid behind jokes, but I felt so hurt and rejected, not even my “friends” wanted me on their team.
That horrible feeling of not being wanted, I unfortunately carried that most of my life. Drugs, alcohol, and all the wrong relationships were consistently there for me in my desperate attempt to feel loved.
In my mid thirties I had a vision from the Lord and He plucked me out of that despair. He chose me!!! He saved me! My life has changed, I have a hope and a future and I’m blessed beyond measure.
He wants me to share my story, for His Glory. So, I hope you enjoy listening to my Thoughtful Ramblings.
Thoughtful Ramblings
When I was 33 years old my life was radically changed! My husband and I were anything but stable, we drank too much, we fought too often, and we had no idea how to save our family, but God…
I am not a graduate of a fancy Bible school, I am certainly not a pastor or priest, but for some reason God chose me!
Why did you choose me, God? Me of all people? The loud mouth, the sarcastic one, the misfit. For my mouth and my boldness!! The two things that have always gotten me into trouble, are the two things that God desires most.
I have been writing for years, short stories, a novel (I never got published), and journaling for as long as I can remember. Recently all those writings and moments in my life have been swirling within me again, and the Lord put it on my heart once again, “I want your mouth and your boldness”.
There is a new season upon us all right now, entangled with fear, hopelessness and oppression, but I see it as a season
of strength, hope and resilience. This season I am going to walk in what God has for me, what are you going to do this season?
Eph 1:11. We also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will.
And that is a promise!!!
It’s ALL for YOU, Lord Jesus
