No Role Models

I'm not really sure where to start or what to say to start off, I have so many things going through my mind.  I have been contemplating starting this blog for a year now and have procrastinated on doing so, but God kept putting it on my heart to just do it.  

God keeps telling me that my calling is to inspire and minister to women, but when I think of myself and all that I have been through, I wonder how I can inspire and minister to other women when I'm still trying to figure it out myself...I know we are all works in progress, but I don't think that I am a role model or even someone that people should want to be like.  Then I think of the example God wants us to be like, He wants us to be an example of Him and who He created us to be.  When people see us, they should see Him and that is the type of role model we need, not only women, but men as well.

In my daily prayers, I always ask to be an example of who God wants me to be and let it be transparent to anyone who I encounter.  We are all sinners and we disappoint Him on a daily basis, however we have His GRACE! We all have testimonies and we all have things that we are not proud of, we all have things that we want to keep hidden from people, I am no exception.  My goal with this blog is to be transparent, to share my short comings, my disappointments and my testimony in hopes that someone will be encouraged and inspired.  

The world we live in is so focused on worrying about what others have and how God has blessed them, that we have some how forgotten how to put our devices down and pray and study the Bible.  I know this is something that I struggle with and I pray to become better.  

My challenge to you and myself is to stop harboring over what others have, one we don't know their testimony, we don't know what it took for them to get there, two we don't know what relationship they have with God and that's none of our business, and three God will not give someone else YOUR blessings! 

I'm so excited to be on this journey, I'm not sure where we are headed, but I know God has equipped us to handle it!
