Over the last few years, I have eliminated a lot of the social networks I have been active with; some of themwere giving me help, but most were where I was helping others. There wasn't agood balance. The lesson was soon to be learned.
One day in 2008, after volunteering all day at a fundraiser, I sat thinkingabout why my businesses weren't flourishing. I could have blamed it all on theenemy and his army. I could have blamed it on having too many good ideas at onetime. I didn't blame anything or any spirit. I looked at where I was so manyyears ago, 20 to be exact, and how I one major gift God gave me, no one, closeto me, heard; my singing voice. I remember being in one of the most elitechoirs in High School. You couldn't just sing, you had to sang!!! For 3 years,twice a year, our group had major concerts. We were magnificent! Yet, no oneclose to attended ONE concert.
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
I understood then as I understand now; everyone has their own life and it doesnot include anyone they don't want. What I mean is, when people decide thatothers are not as important as self, those people become nonexistent even ifthey are right in your face. So what do you do, push the issue? No. Do you getupset about it? No. You move on with the life God gave you. There is nothing Ican change about what a person desires to have in their life or who they wantto help or support. I have started to see that it isn’t about me. It’s aboutGod IN me.
Philipians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better thanhimself.
I have pushed my 'servant hood' to the limits by giving all of me to the peopleI know online. I love helping people. That part of me will never change. Yet,while I am helping them, what am I doing for myself. Nothing, but realized thetruth behind the failure and the success. It was time to help others see theirpotential and not let the PEOPLE get in the way of their blessings.
Twenty odd years ago, no one saw how delighted I was to be in this choir andhow I wanted someone to come and support me as a teen. Here I am now, presentday, and it is the same thing. Yet, I’m glad I had to go through this tounderstand how God could use me now. I realize that the people who didn't seeme then they don't want to see me now, but God has kept me for this time to bea benefit to His kingdom.
Now that I know God can use me, I am ready to share COMPLETELY the things that have been placed in my lap. I amno longer bitter. I will not hold back the gifts and talents God has given me,but I will keep this new found knowledge in front of my minds eye. Those that Iwanted to see me will never see me with the eyes they had then, which are thesame ones they have now. They will only see me with new eyes enlightened by theLord.
So with my new found eyes, I am sharing all those things that God has given me right with you. I am workingtowards leaving behind a legacy that is beneficial for my family and YOURS too.
