MKE Week 12-I Love who I Am

This week has been incredibly transformative for me. It all started with the one sentence DMP in the mirror for 50 minutes. When I first heard the assignment, I knew I could do it but I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I was utterly surprised by the experience! I couldn’t believe how emotional and healing it was for my soul. I laughed, I danced, I cried and I hugged myself through the mirror. I can honestly say that I was able to engage a part of my soul that I thought was dead. I saw the “me” that I’ve been missing for years and it was a pivotal moment. My eyes were opened to the fact that I really do love who I am.

This experience flowed right into the homework on Monday morning. I’m reading that thought is building for us the thing we think of and brings it nearer. The only way to keep from going backward is going forward. Persistence and eternal vigilance are absolutely essential in three steps.

First, I need to live the knowledge of my power; I must understand who I am and what I was created for. I must have a grasp on my calling and my purpose. These concepts get clearer every week as I do the sits in the quiet of each morning. My favorite book calls me up and calls me higher. One of my favorite verses has always been Ephesians 1:17-20,  “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you and the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people and the incomparably power for us who believe. That power is the same power He exerted when he raised Christ from the dead…” Whoa…. He offers me the same power that He used. I literally have no words…

Secondly, I must discover within me the courage to dare: I need to get my ‘ask in gear’ to bring my calling closer and continue to grow into the person I’m meant to be.
“Be strong and courageous for the LORD your God goes with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9

Thirdly, I must have the faith to do what I must do. I need to stay focused with my ideal in clear view. It must be sharp, clear-cut and definite. I keep moving forward and when I see the grain of mustard seed at my feet, I bend down, pick it up and take it in. The seed can grow and flourish into all that is growing in my heart and I water and nourish it with belief.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and is a rewarder of those who sincerely seek Him”. Hebrews 11:6
The dynamic flow of thought and the subsequent results of that thought which then becomes impregnated with love is truly invincible.

I have jumped into the river and I intend to enjoy the ride, fully expecting to reach my destination!
