Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.
This is Pastor Steven Furtick I don't even know where to begin! or even explain how he inspires me.
This came from the Mother's Day Service
Pastor Steven spoke about insecurity today at church... for mother's day! He was specifically speaking to women and how we always worry about the outside instead of what really matters. Pastor Steven read from Psalms 139 today and this is what was said...
from The Message
from The Message
Psalm 139 13-16
13. Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb.
14. I thank you, High God - you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration - what creation!
15. You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
16. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The day of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
so... God created 'Me' from the inside out. The one thing that was said that drove home to me was "how you feel about you is a direct reflection on him." That is such a powerful statement. God put us together for a PURPOSE!! and although i may not know what that is right now, i know he has one for me and i am looking forward to the day that i realize his plan in my life.
I am a work of GOD!!
I have had an interesting life so far.. a LOT of ups and downs. but for the first time in my life i feel whole and i get up in the morning looking forward to what is in store. even though it will be the usual. get madison ready for school, feed emma, take a nap, lunch, pick up madison, be an entertainer to my kids, a chef for my family, the accountant, the house keeper and some days i feel like a slave. but I know that someday there will come a time that God will put something or someone in front of me!! And who knows maybe i am already fulfilling my purpose.. to be a Godly wife and mother and to teach them about Him! and until i know other wise that is my job. and i know that i have days that i fail badly, but I promise to pray and pick my self up and start again b/c Jesus died for ME!! for you and for all of us. Pastor Steven spoke to me today and through him, God's message was it doesn't matter whats on the outside it only matters what's in my heart! and WITHOUT GOD I AM NOTHING!
Ephesians 2:10

No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
i am grateful for the work that He is doing in my heart!

I can't even begin to tell you how Elevation Church changed my life. These are the things I've written on my blog about Elevation in the past. We miss this church so much. We have gone back once since we moved and we plan to visit during Easter. We look forward to finding a new church family but will always remember what Paster Steven and Elevation has taught us.
