So many blessings that I ran out of numbers to assign to them and it will certainly take eternity before I even begin to count all my halleluiah moments. Thanks to the God of Infinity, I am rejoicing!
A decade ago I took the leap of faith and decided to risk losing everything to find what I was looking for… myself… my life… my very own life. The journey was long and sometimes scary and for the most part very solitary. To encourage me along the way, he surrounded me with all his signs and wonders just for taking the time to heal my body, soul and mind. Somehow I felt that I had to let God take over and I did. I stopped doing all the work, let God have all my cares and redeem my life of ouches for a life without limits; a gift that only Yahweh himself offers for the taking- freely!
What a relief to know that I was only a risk away from attaining Emancipation. I took the risk and in so doing, I found myself; and, with it, all that I thought that I had lost!
I enjoy the multitudes of blessing of finding my way back to myself and that is worth a celebration, every day… today it was time spent in one of Mother Nature’s empowering and marvellous ‘lecture rooms’- a great way to say thank you to my greatest teacher for all her lessons!

Celebrating another episode
Every now and then when I take the time to uncover and deal with that which I resisted from feeling and thinking and wanting many, many years ago, I experience an overwhelming period of episodes of happiness and appreciation. Were it not for the highs and lows I would not arrive at this point when I can know that all along I was just where I was suppose to be, doing just what I needed to do to arrive where I am today and to continue looking forward to great retrospection moments for having experienced everything that brought me forth from the darkness into the light.
Now when this feeling of Wow comes over me I stop running away from it and say ta dah! Another moment of self recovery is making its way from the unknown to the known. I sometimes still feel a little scared about letting myself feel what it needs to feel but I have come to realize that the more I embrace it, the less I have to resist it… it’s all about taking the risk to celebrate life, my life. No more escaping from my very own life. Instead, I let myself revel that God is busy reminding me that He is crazily in love with me and wants me to stop all distraction and enjoy the fact that he loves me very much, so much that he gave me my very own life and he is managing it like no one else can and ever will. Knowing this and more so, believing this about myself has remove my fear of having to settle for less than being someone who is loving, kind, respectful, human, divine, beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside, worthy of love, respect and sacredness....some of the fine qualities that God built in me and all his children.
Self knowledge sure increases self worth!
And so the journey continues!

A fresh encounter with God
Self awareness of who I am can lead to confusion because of what I have been told not to believe about myself and my fellow creatures. Each person has at one point or another disowned the authentic side of our human/divine coin. We reinforced the human side and often forgot about the part of us that no ne can take away from us or devalue.
Self knowledge has put me back in touch with my pricelessly precious authentic self, the part of me that I almost lost in the shuffle when I believed that I was insignificant. In God’s kingdom we are all very significant. The thing is God is not in the arm-twisting business and he will not take back what he has given us dominion over- our choice to accept or refuse our true self. This knowledge can be baffling when we look at ourselves in comparison with each other. Doing so is very deadly! There is no place in God’s kingdom for fighting for first place. I know that even his disciples back in Jesus’ day were on a rolling argument as to who was next in line of authority and Jesus by passed all of them.
How humbling!
Conceit has no place in God’s vineyard. That’s enough to make me not lean on my own understanding or that of human influence above God’s Wisdom.
We are but a speck in God’s eyes; yet, worthy enough to be counted in the Flock.
Discover who you really are and live up to that; knowing that God is very pleased with you, otherwise when he designed you he would not have gone… very good! Then threw away the original mould from which he created you.
What we believe about ourselves is not determined nor defined by anyone other than God Himself, Herself, Itself.
This is self knowledge and is meant to keep us in awe of the majesty of our Creator. Accepting one’s authenticity is a perquisite to divine bliss as well as personal happiness .
No imitation please!

Grandiosity- as God sees its
Anyone who talks openly about human rights to equality are often referred to as troublemakers when in fact, we are just blowing the whistle on injustice and the many contradictory laws outline by the false gods of supremacy. My brain functions in a manner that includes the soul, a daring, bold spirit that challenges the world. I am liberated creature of choice and Life is making sure that I understand the honour of being my own self.
Measuring one’s spirituality and life’s worth in God’s eyes is something I had done for a very long time, long before I began to believe that this favour was vested in me too. The truth that God is crazy over me began to manifest in my awareness a few years ago. I began to sprout and then the blooms revealed my value as God sees me and show me how much he wants me to measure my self worth. He has been holding me in his arms; however, somewhere along the way I began to listen to nay Sayers and with time, I rushed out of his arms and stayed away from his presence and traded God’s scale for that of the prisoner of my dignity and integrity. Oh my!
God loves someone who is happy to own her birthrights from him even when the risk involved is being slapped with the label of grandiosity. I accept this term used to describe people who are owning their divineness alongside their humanness with high honours credits.
All the while I stayed away from God he was upset and determined to win me back to him and I could not understand why he loved me enough to care for me like his lost sheep. The fact that I pushed his love and covenant had no effect on his intention to pursue me and challenge me to see that His love for me is very real, very, very, very real and just what I needed to save me from the sin of rejecting my self worth according to his definition.
This is my belief and I am ready to have this truth challenged by anyone who agrees to disagree.
It is time to awaken the giant in us… courage to change the things we can -to change the things we need to in order to manifest the peace we aspire to achieve.
Refusing God’s view of us as created in his very image and likeness is a grave sin call grandiose- a sin of disbelief in the truth of who we are. And this hurts him more than anyone can fathom. That is why he remains determined to pursue us and, restore us to the image he used as a mould that he use to create each one of us.
I for one, do not want to disown nor deny my God given rights to divine excellence and be that stupid someone, the psalmist refers to in Psalm 32:9, who has to be controlled with a bit and bridle to make it submit to God. Suffice to say, I vow to always surrender only to this one true God and risk having the label of grandiose slapped on my forehead.
Thank you dear God for ransoming my life and looking at me and going--- WOW! HOLY WOW!
