The hard thing about being transparent and real is some people may not want to follow you. We live in a world that looks for powerful leaders who never seem afraid or intimidated and promise us what we want to hear…..
However, Jesus wept. Lost his temper, Fell under the weight of the cross….
He got hungry, needed his friends, “Felt” forsaken at the cross. He was God in a body of Flesh. We have God within our body of flesh. We’re not going to be picture perfect every day of our lives! And it doesn’t mean God doesn’t live in us if our flesh (and it’s polished veneer) falls apart.
My heroes are those who fall apart, give it to God, & try again. and they tell the truth! Not just what I want to hear.
Suffering is part of life. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all! ALL means ALL.
I was that "unpopular" wierdo kid, that didn't fit in anywhere, in High School. I guess I never knew my place in life, until Jesus took me in. I've been rejected, misunderstood, left out, bullied, abused, scandalized, and labeled. In 2002 I got on a bus and left a marraige of sixteen years, that was fraught with abuse and heartache. In school, I used to be so afraid to stand in front of the class and speak, my hands woud visibily shake, and I could not look at my audience without being terrified.
Years later, I find myself leading a school music production, speaking in front of churches, and walking around with confidence, because I know the King of Kings is at my side.
My ministry, prayers and blogs are directed toward those who feel like they were never enough. You never fit in.
If I can help you in any way, if you need a special speaker to speak hope to the hurting, or if you would like a copy of my Testimony book (Grace to the Rescue) let me know. I am here for you. I have also published Grace to Grow, but I'm really not here to sell books. I want to help you. If you'd like a free book,
With Love, Laura
