Your HELP is on the way!!
I think I broke Facebook.
Yesterday I posted this photo inside a private facebook group that’s all about celebrating one’s ‘spirit of beauty’ and calls out women to be a BOLD LIGHT - and dare I say BADASS - and I was not expecting to happen, what then followed. (If you’re not a part of this group (and you're female) you need to be btw, it’s led by my incredibly inspiring friend Linda Potgieter whom I met at my very first event with Destiny Global, LLC).
That one post garnered so much attention, as I was responding back to every person who commented, facebook told me I was no longer allowed to talk to people. Who knew I had hit a LIMIT or that they even had one?!!
But I have to back up first. I have to tell YOU the story. What’s the story?
Well, like I mentioned to this private group…"my femininity had been slowly disappearing over the last 15 years. So not only wearing THIS (something so feminine) but just LOOKING at the woman in these photos taken (I didn’t even ask to take them-that’s another story you’ll read below) I didn’t have words. I actually felt beautiful. And that’s a feeling that has been coming back, alongside me being OK with showing more femininity thanks to the influence of that group and several other powerful friends who have been fanning it to flame while celebrating and seeing who I really was. There is so much power when we show up as a LIGHT for others. We get set free. And I know that because it was done for me."
Side note; I don’t even know the last time I wore a dress. #GASP!!!
Second side note; Pretty sure I own less dresses than I do fingers on one hand.
But what’s even crazier about this story, is the timing of it and all the little details. Which were not shared when this was posted.
What do I mean?
Well, Biblically we’re actually in the Hebrew month of SHEVAT. Okay Jen, what does that have to do with anything? Well, when you study what happened during this month there is a pattern of HELP coming and brings a key reminder of where our mindset should be amidst the month...to position ourselves, our minds in a place where we EXCLAIM our help is on they way! Even if we don’t yet see it or feel it. Why? Because life and death is in the power of YOUR tongue.
So as crazy as it may sound, all month as different struggles, thoughts, or things hit my life that were challenging or made me feel STUCK what did I do?
I EXCLAIMED…my help is on the way!!!
I chose to believe it was coming. No I didn’t sit there and do nothing. I took action. But I also chose faith, I chose to believe my help would come.
This is where it gets crazy.
Amidst a month of declaring that for different things, help came in the areas that I wasn’t even expecting!! #SayWhaaaaaat?! To the point that two friends showed up and just totally loved on me, honored me, and helped bring out the femininity that had been being lost. I didn’t know how to bring it back!!
As my day’s plans were totally hijacked lol, I was made to feel like a QUEEN. They did my makeup, went through my entire closet picking out outfits, dressed me, and then took hundreds of photos while we spent the whole day together laughing, and having fun. Without me even asking for ANY of it!! They just did it lol!!
THAT was the context to the posting that garnered so much attention in quotes above. THAT is why these pics were even taken. And THAT is why I’m even in a DRESS.
And THAT is how much Yahaveh (God) loves us, loved me. To the point that as another incredible friend said “You are surrounded by beautiful badass babes who are listening to Gods marching orders in helping you get closer to your goals. He loves you so much and is loving on you!!”. #PerfectlySaid
And what does all that even really mean? It shows that HE knew what was needed NEXT. He knows what IS next, and it’s yet one further glimpse at how present He is amidst the things we not only struggle with, but how He’s right there beside us, as we keep taking one step further FORWARD in faith!!
I never imagined that so much healing would still be happening in this community (of Destiny Global, LLC) even AFTER my own coach retired. But that’s exactly what’s happening. How? Because her legacy, HIS legacy is still here. And by here I mean amidst the people that she trained. Amidst the people who now live their lives with so much COURAGE. Amidst the people who carry on the heart for others, like she did! Amidst the people who are a part of every single part of this post.
He makes all things NEW.
How’s that for unreal timing for this next week Thursday as I prepare to do my very first webinar, about that very thing. Stepping into the NEW. #HEREWEGO
What do YOU need to declare over YOUR life friend? Are you ready to take one step forward towards YOUR goals?
