I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, but I am certain of this, "God loves me immensely!"
I don't know where I would be today if I was not absolutely certain of that truth, for this last year has been the most brutal year of my life. My husband / partner for the last 19 years cheated on me again. This time was the worst because we were actually closer and having more fun and more intimate than we had ever been. If he'd willingly gamble me away at that juncture what hope would I have in times of trouble?
To make matters worse, I had felt something was up and had asked him to be honest. He was able to look me directly in the eye, claim I was crazy, and insist that nothing was going on. At one point he suggested I friend this individual. The pure audacity of it all makes me sick to this day. When the truth came out, he somewhat ended the affair, and in that, she turned against me.
I was cyber attacked, bullied and had my identity taken. He had given her my phone and allowed her to gain access to all of my social media accounts. She took full advantage by changing my passwords and successfully blocking me out of everything. I lost everything in my cloud.
He actually shared with me how she joyfully deleted content from my phone. She left the titles of my written papers / blogs / outlines for future projects, but deleted the content in every single file. She even deleted a ton of family pictures that I'll never get back. By the grace of God, I had copies of many pictures thanks to sharing them over the course of time with others as well as under other email accounts with their own clouds that were not loggged into on that phone.
Regardless. the havoc she brought upon me all but stopped me in my very tracks. Add all of that to the things I endured from Mike up until a month ago, when I finally packed up most of my personal items, rented a car and drove back to Indiana, leaving him behind in Florida and even I am amazed that I am once again rising from the ashes.
To say that his words were harmful to my very being this last year would be a simplification of just how deadly they were designed to be. In the end, I know who was speaking those awful things to me; yet it did not make it any easier to hear or to ignore them. I am human after all.
For the first 10 days after I left, I found myself bawling my eyes out. Waves of emotion would hit me so hard, they literally and physically took my breath away and left me exhausted and darn near ready to tap out for good.
Thank the LORD that my stronghold is the LORD or God only knows where I would be today. Instead of my story ending badly, I have been blessed to have found myself handpicked as a participant in an incredible competition. If I am blessed enough to be the last girl standing, I will win an opportunity to truly expand my territory, my ministry and have the ability to truly make a difference in the war being waged against humanity.
That being said, I have found myself rebuilding my brand. I have gotten back to blogging and networking. In other words, I have stepped back into my calling and I cannot begin to tell you how incredible that feels. My heart is back on fire for the Lord and I am exicted to see what is around the corner for the first time in a complete year!
This competition works a lot like Dancing with the Stars. you stay in the running by public vote.
Today I come boldly forth and ask that you cast a free vote for me every 24 hours until the end of the competition. I also ask all prayer warriors and those whose lives I have impacted already through my ministry to pray for me to be victorious.
To support me simply click here. You will be asked to verify yourself through facebook for free. You can also buy hope votes which count as double for the following 7 days after your donation. ON Weds, they put them on sale for the day and your initial donation is also doubled. So the math goes $10 = 20 votes and if you vote for the next consecutive 7 days that will become a total of 34 votes for $10!
Another are of my life that seems to reblooming is my creative side. My ability to rhyme off the cuff and often somewhat acidentally is returning. An example of that would be this facebook post that I copied and pasted in this blog update:
The battle is big, the war is real, so drastic that it is something I literally feel. It took me all day to put my thoughts together, my hands and feet plagued by the weather. I hate the cold, it actually hurts me, my body goes into spasms until it locks up. I may draw on the strength of God, but this body ~ it's fragile my spirit is tough! Tonight I proclaimed enough is enough and I made myself homemade heating bags with rice and unmatched socks. Two for my hands and two larger ones for my neck and back. I throw them in the microwave for a minute or two and they help stop the attack. That being said, my progress to get ahead came slow; yet you know what they say about pace; slow and steady will win the race. That being said, these are the thoughts I managed to get out of my head. I hope and pray you take the time to read them today. Should they inspire you or touch your heart in some way, I ask that you share them in your thread today . . . and friends and family and strangers alike, I stand her once again asking if you could cast a free vote for this stranger or if you know me, your friend. Thank you to all who do, I'm certain the LORD will bless you, for you time, your vote, your support of me, my calling and my ministry <3
The grey icon bar is the one that provides you with the opportunity to cast one free vote via face book. I need every free vote I can get because for those with wealthy friends, they just enticed the option to pay for votesw with an offer to double all "hope" votes . . . these are votes that cost $1 all the way up to $250 and all proceeds go to support breast cancer research. A great cause, but the majority of those willing to support me are those just as broke as I am! So to all who cast a free vote for me today, tomorrow, and every day after; many thanks! May the good Lord bless you ten fold <3
For those in life who are currently falling victim to negative words being spoken into your life, I encourage you to venture into the word of God, discover the armor He has provided and prepare for the battle we all face in this world. The evil one is real and his one mission is to destroy you. That was never God's plan. I could go on and on about the truths I have discovered in his word, and in a way that is exactly what I did in publishing my life story ~ if you are in the midst of surviving but not thriving today, purchase a copy in print or ebook and begin living an abundant life today!
I love our Father for he is always Faithful, even when we aren't 100% faithful ourselves. His love is amazing. His grace is amazing. He IS AMAZING. My heart breaks for all who have not found their way home. For all who are longing for a relationship with the Lord but don't know where to start. Start in His word. Start with simple prayer. Talk to Him as if you would a friend. When trouble smacks you in the face, before you pick up the phone to vent or discuss with a friend, I encourage you to get to your knees and connect with God. The more you seek Him, the more you will recognize Him. You see, He is already around you, watching and waiting for you to invite Him in so He can better help you. The Father of Lies will always be working on destroying that relationship for when you draw close to the Lord, he loses more of his power. This does not make him happy and he will work harder at taking you out of your happy zone. Don't allow him to take that from you. Make sure to put on your proper fighting attire every day. If you are not sure what this is, I covered it pretty well last week. Check out my blog entitled 'Are you Dressed for Daily Battle? Here's the link: http://youareworthytoo.blogspot.com/2013/10/are-you-dressed-for-daily-battle.html
by sharing the truth about myself as called forth by God, this blog is my attempt at pulling back the veil on what our natural eyes see in order to reveal the hidden supernatural realm that the majority of the world is unaware of being an actual reality! So many of our fights in this world are caused by the whisperer of contention. I myself have been drawn into battle while in my full suit of armor and the war waged against me was so intense, that I refer to it as being in a crocodile roll!

A Must Read for All Victims of Negative Words!
It is my prayer that you recognize the truth and become a follower of Christ yourself.
Father, today I pray that the evil one is bound from those in search of the truth. May his lies be kept silent from the ears of all who are searching for salvation. May they come to know your son, our Messiah, Jesus Christ. May they too begin to follow Him and share the good news with others. May the workers grow, may the fields be harvested. May we work as the body of Christ as you intended us to. I want to thank you for all you have done when it comes to strengthening my faith and all my many blessings. You are so kind and loving and your grace amazes me daily, hourly, minute by minute. I am so blessed to have the relationship I do with you. I never want to be disconnected from you again. Thank you for clearly laying out the armor I will need every day to protect myself from the dangers of this world. Thank you for the wisdom you have shared. Thank you for the freedom I have. To be able to openly read your word where ever I am. So many of my brothers and sisters do not have such freedom. Go to them Father and lift them in your loving arms. Shine your light so that doubters are changed into believers. May the truth be so clear even the blind are given perfect sight. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
** For the full story of my wallet being returned these are the links to the two blogs that cover this testimony. May you find yourself blessed in reading them.
