Random Ramblings Of An Imperfect Girl, Loved by a Perfect God.

Something a little different today. I have decided to share my story. I, like most people, struggle with imposter syndrome. I feel like a fraud every time I post a new blog and feel like I am doing everything wrong. The one thing that gets me through and helps me to keep going is a quote I have heard numerous times but it still has a great impact.

“God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.”

No I do not feel qualified to write this blog but then I remember one Sunday night service. I struggled for years with shyness to the point I would not talk for fear of making myself look stupid or saying the wrong thing and hurting someone else. Well the days leading up to that night were particularly difficult. I had so much anxiety and insecurity running through my head at all times with no relief. I decided to take it to the Lord and asked the pastor to pray for me. Little did I know I would get my answer right there at the alter. The pastor told me that the Lord told him I am meant to write. That was the reason for all the words running around in my head and that was the reason for the attacks of the enemy. I finally had a purpose. Keep in mind I was a teenager at this time and completely confused as to what to do. It took fifteen years of running in circles but here we are.

”And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:“—Ephesians 4:11-13 KJV

He can give you a direction for your life at one point but like a seed in the cold, you will not sprout until the ground is prepared. When your foundation is Jesus the gifts he placed in you from the very beginning will bloom in God’s time. I hope you have a blessed day everyone!
