POV

Often we dim our light out of fear. We think we're unworthy of the beauty that comes with being seen and respected. We fall back into the shadows because we want to be like everyone else when we weren't made to be like everyone else. You are an individual masterpiece worthy of every ohh and ahh. Your gifts and talents are yours to share and enjoy. The world would have you believe that conforming to the status norm is the way to go but Jesus thinks differently. He made you unique and authentic. You are perfectly imperfect on purpose and the sooner you walk in the essence of all you are, the sooner you will attract all your heart desires. It's your light that draws people and things, not your darkness. Stand firm and confident in all you are and watch your life shift in the direction you desire. You're worth it.

Life has a way of preparing us for what's to come. It's often through time and reflection that we notice we've made it over or have conquered life's challenges. 
 Today, we have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Goldsby. The first time I met her, I knew she was a woman who was aware of her worth and power. The most beautiful gift is that her softness, kindness, and poise reminded me that our presence alone is enough of an introduction. 
 In this episode, I hope you are reminded of your purpose, passion, and perseverance, and on rainy days, remember to turn lemons into lemonade.

Dr. Goldsby would like to give a shout out to all of her Tennessee friends and relatives.  She’d also like to give a special thanks to her daughter Genese for inspiring and encouraging her to do this!

I ask the Lord for many things. Often his timing is different from mine and that's when the worry sets in.  In those moments, I'm reminded that God's will is better than mine and his timing is perfect.  If I take it to him in prayer, I should leave it there because he knows what the future holds and has always been and will continue to be the supplier of all my needs. So whatever it is, a new job, healing of a broken heart, basic needs, or your wildest dreams, trust that " ask and ye shall receive" was written to free us of stress and worry. I only challenge you to be specific in your request, put "If it's your will" at the end of that prayer, and wait and watch the Lord show out.

One of the hardest things to do is be seen.  Seen for who we really are and not as we present. It's hard to allow people to love us who know our faults and our flaws and it's hard to be loved by those who don't. In one way you feel unworthy and in the other, you feel like a fraud or an imposter. At times we judge ourselves so harshly for going through our individual life's journey. We feel we should know more, do more, have more, be more and it's such a waste of energy. I can speak on this because this is what I do to myself. I judge, I criticize, I chastise myself and I have yet to reap the benefits of such behavior. I have yet to see the positive feedback from this harsh way of self-sabotage so I've decided to stop doing this. It doesn't work. It only deepens the hole of my less-than mentality and feeds the fear. The truth is that where I am is where I'm supposed to be. The lessons I'm learning right now are on purpose. The challenges I'm facing are for my making and not my breaking. In these moments, grace is our friend and God is our support. Lean in and on him. Trust that he has a plan for you. " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."- Jeremiah 29:11. Rest in the fact that your Abba father has got it all in control.

1 Peter 5:7-9 

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

This scripture is easy to say and hard to do. The world will have us believe that we stand only in our strength. That the weight of the world is on our shoulders and our power is only found in ourselves. What a lie. We are only made strong through him, not through ourselves. The Lord has an army called in your favor. A path of protection and joy awaits us constantly if we would get out of our own way and receive it. We can rest in the fact that God's got us and we don't have to do anything alone so take that weight off your shoulders and give it to the Lord. His plan is greater than your wildest dream.
