Hello World,
I'm so excited your here. About 4 months ago Damien and I decided to venture to the big city. We moved to the southside of Jacksonville. That was a huge step, especially for Damien. I found myself going through a little withdraw depression for a short period of time. We had our wedding, then two days later moved and I started a new longhorn shortly after that. I had a bunch of change all at once. At the moment, I could not pin point why I was so sad. Then, it hit me one day, that girl at Longhorn Steakhouse had been a changed girl, but in the same circumstance. I had recommitted my life to Jesus Christ over a year before that, but I was changed and my environment never change. There was a certain personality I had to display daily. There were all these characteristics than went into who I was because they demanded them out of me. I was funny, loud, head-strong, and etc. At that moment, I realize I was having withdraw depression. After days of dwelling in my own self-pity, God gave me the revelation of "You have been Called." Ofcourse, I looked around and said "Are you talking to me?" lol At that moment I realized that I have been called to so many opportunities that I have been neglecting. I've been Called: Child of God, Wife, Daughter, Grand-daughter, Sister, Daught-in-law, Sister-in-law, Niece, Cousin, Mentor, Friend, Co-worker, Employee, Writer, Encourager, Servant, Student, and Disciple. Ephesians 4:1-2 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient bearing with one another in love.
I realize that I was allowing the world to tell me how I was suppose to act, instead of allowing the one who has called me to these opportunities tell me how I was suppose to act. I was allowing the world to tell me the personality to have, instead of submitting my tongue, my mind, and my actions to the one who gave me my personality in the first place. I know it's so easy to let your environment set the standard, but as believers we have been called to so much more. We have been called to lead from the front in every area of our lives for the glory of God.
I encourage you to write down everything you have been called to in your life right now. Focus on 3 callings a week. Write a journal on the success and improvements in these callings. Tap into your spirit and think of how Jesus would approach these callings. Some may be difficult to approach, especially if they have been neglected for a long time. Understand that you have been called to rekindle the flames that have been long let out. This exercise has changed my life and I pray the same for you. Thank you for the opportunity to write my revies on your heart. Love you guys.
One body and one love.
God Bless,
Tabatha
