In my previous post I spoke of afformations, which are "positive" questions that allow your subconscious mind to start working on the answers, and of course, I allow God to do the leading. His leading - is what I consider to be the greatest key - in being certain that everything lines up to his will. There have been several afformations that I have recorded myself reading, included some uplifting music in the background that I listen to everyday. In addition, to what I listed in my previous post, the last set of afformations in Noah St. John's book, "The Secret Code of Success" are:
- Why did I find my purpose?
- Why am I living a purpose driven life?
- Why do I know why I am here on Earth?
- Why did I find my Ultimate Why-To?
- Why is it so easy for me to focus on what I really want?
- Why am I on course and on target?
- Why did I never, ever, ever give up?
- Why is everything going according to plan?
- Why does God bless me with unprecedented favor today?
- Why am I fundamentally unstoppable?
One of the first things my mind began working on was who am I? I needed to know why I was here, so that I could live within the purpose God has for me. I have wondered those things before, but I never felt like I found the true answer. Listening to the afformations began to really drive me to find the answers. This has made me an instant believer in them, they really do work. I didn't have to wait until I had enough energy, or motivated, I woke up motivated and on fire for some answers.
God led me to a blog that morning suggesting to sit down with a blank piece of paper. Then Start writing down ideas that come to mind of what you think is your purpose, and keep writing until you start to cry. I had to be still and quiet for 45 minutes of writing down ideas and even came to the point of crying out to God wanting the answer around the 1/2 hr mark. I know now why he suggested writing until you cry.
When you truly discover what your purpose is you can't help, but cry because God built it into our heart. In my case I have been starving to know what God truly wants me to do. I was always close, but it never felt right on the mark. I never would have come up with this on my own. "To use my strong faith in the Lord, to encourage others to believe in Him, with faith that doesn't waiver, letting them know that there is always HOPE."
To confirm and seal the deal with me there was a bracelet sitting on the floor in the living room I hadn't noticed before, it was yellow my least favorite color, but I picked it up and it said strength on it....right then I started crying again and got the biggest hug I have ever experienced from God. I love Him so much.
I never saw myself as a woman of strong faith....He gently said to me, all that you have been through...the rejection...the unknown....pain...I have strengthened you so that you can strengthen others. You have no idea- the bubbling over with joy- I can hardly contain it... that I have been experiencing ever since.
God has made me creative, which opens up unlimited possibilities on how I can live this out. I can write, create art, work with music, and who knows how many ideas I am still yet to discover. He is amazing! There are no words- that can describe or grasp all that he is.
One thing I do know, writing is a huge thing that makes me happy because I get to share my heart with you and others. I get to come along side you, strengthen , and guide you to a place where you can have some of the same things in your heart. Reaching out to others I can take what I have learned and experienced, reaching out to someone who, might be going through the same thing, sharing the hope I so joyfully hang onto. God is never-failing, your circumstances may seem like... nothing good is going to happen, but in the end that is all that God is capable of doing for you--"Good". You can send me a comment if you struggle and I will believe enough for both of us until God can show himself faithful to you.
I recently heard about another contest to win a scholarship to the She Speaks conference in July. This would be my second contest opportunity that I am applying for. Financially going there on our own budget would be impossible, so this scholarship would be such a blessing. I am trusting in God, that if I am supposed to go, he is going to make a way- however he sees best fit. What is impossible for man is SO Possible for God!!
The conference would help me to grow as a writer, encourage me to be a leader. Being in the same room with 1000's of women, who share with me a love for God sounds fabulous. A time to learn other's testimonies, to gain wonderful tools to improve myself, and draw closer to God.
