Change Has Come!

As I sit reviewing the course of this day and this past season in my life, I welcome the change that has come. There was a missing piece in my internal makeup... something that I needed to make peace with. Learned how to accept myself good, bad or indifferent. Learned how to disallow others to speak to me, speak of me, or speak around me negatively and honestly learned how to defend myself humbly the way God has taught me. One of the things I remember most as I began this journey was the statement that the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my spirit that God was going to teach me how to fight. I was fighting the wrong things. Mostly I was beating myself up and fighting with anyone who wanted to join me. What I learned is people treat you the way that you treat yourself. As I learned to love myself genuinely, mistakes, faults, good choices, bad choices - all of it; I learned how to teach others how to treat me. I learned to reserve my executive power to remove myself from any relationship that was not nurturing and also learned to learn from situation that seemed difficult for me to find peace with. Accepting that peace, which God gives me, is mine regardless of the circumstances of the day. This was a lot of learning for a three year session but I learned it. I believe that all the experiences that life gave me prepared me for this moment... this change. Everything that I need going forward - I have; everything that I am going to need, will be provided. I rest in the knowledge that God has brought me to this point in my life to wholly lean on the guidance, strength and power of God to accomplish God's will through the life I have. I am ready, I am ready, I am ready - change has come.
