“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven— Matthew 5:14-16
I spent years trying to find my identity in other people. Overwhelmed by a deep fear of rejection I searched for my vision in other people’s visions. Thinking society would accept me because they had accepted and loved the people I admired; instead of giving what I had – that which was bestowed upon me. Frightened by the idea of people not embracing me or my ideas and overcome by a deep fear of offending people with my notions. Yet one truth remained - my mission was never to be a “people pleaser”, but to please the one who truly matters.
I spent years going in circles because I was at war with myself - moulding an idea of what I thought the world would want, instead of offering the light that had been placed within me. I was and am enough - so are you. What I had to offer is different; similar to others yet unique in itself.
Who I am, is a woman who truly loves God and desires for His people to come to the knowledge of Him. My vision is not only to encourage you to find your calling and fulfill your God given purpose; but to show you how.
My purpose is to inspire you to fulfil your life’s mission and for you to be in good health as you do so. My desire is for you to move beyond stagnancy and start doing something. My desire is for you to start moving forward.
To you I say – In your journey of discovery - know who you are and what you believe in. Doing so will solidify your foundation - no matter what levels you rise to one day, you will never fall because you know who you are. Know your intentions - this becomes the building block for your values and principles; any circumstance that is not aligned with your beliefs, values and principles, will not sway you.
To you I say - be true to who you are… don't search for your identity in other people, don't fear rejection, success or bringing your ideas to life - do not fear! You are enough.
Be bold, courageous and confident enough to reach for your goals. God has placed tremendous gifts and talents within you that only you possess and only you can use to make an impact in the world!
Don't spend another day holding back what you have within. Don't spend another day crippled by fear.
Once you know who you truly are and are unapologetic about it, it is then you will move from Bright Idea to Reality!
