30 Something

At the beginning of last year God spoke to me and told me that 2009 would be a year of transition for me. Amidst all of the blessings and professions of what the new year would bring, He told me "transition." So throughout the year, I didn't ignore the fact that transition means to change. As a matter of the fact there is one definition that says, "passing from one state to another, cause to convert, the process of changing." And surely my change came. I was in church one Sunday morning and Prophetess was encouraging us--she illustrated a stronghold--she had two big strong guys come up and she stood in between them and had them hold her in between them and not let her out. She stated that a stronghold was something that would not allow you to break free. But she told us that the power of God was breaking the stronghold and at the moment, I felt a break in my spirit. It was like something snapped and I was free from a stronghold that had plagued me since I was little. WOW! Spiritually I didn't have to deal with that any longer. Of course sometimes my mind would bring it back because it was a habit for me, physiologically, I was free, but I needed to think a new thought. So that was one transition. Another transition was from my old job to my new job. I administered two programs and for about a month, my head was spinning. It was like I didn't know which way was up. I would sit down and literally my head would spin. But I had other responsibilities that I was not fulfilling working with the np. So, I prayed to God to give me direction on what I should do with my job--should I leave or should I stay and it was through my experiences that God was telling me it was time to leave. Then a friend of mine called me and said she had a dream twice about the school collapsed--literally falling into pieces. So that kind of sealed the deal--I'm put in my two weeks notice on yesterday. I'm working for the np now and I"ve applied for a part-time, temporary position in Peoria. I'm looking to apply to go to school full time in the fall. I pray I get accepted. Father, please let them accept me, please. I've had a transition in my thinking as it relates to leadership.

So, this year I'm going to focus on organizaing my time and my ministry. I'm not going to make any resolutions because I want a lifestyle change, not a single goal for the new year. I heard God say, "sacrifice." So, I'm going to tighten up with my time and resources. I'm excited about what the new year has to hold. I'm working with a woman who used to work in the Governors office. We are putting together some community development plans. It's pretty exciting, but it's also a lot of work.

Happy New Decade!!!!
