You Are Becoming

Today, I want to talk a little bit deeper to who you are. We are always evolving as women. As humans. We're always evolving, always changing. So, do you remember what it feels like to be a woman? Think back to when you liked someone, I mean really liked them, and you wanted to get their attention.

You paid attention to every detail and put a lot of time and effort into your appearance, hoping to catch and keep their eye: specific outfit, shoes, jewelry, hairstyle, perfume, lingerie. It all mattered, and you were fully put together. As life happened, you got married, you got comfortable, maybe had some babies.

Your body, your hormones changed, your desires still burned within, but maybe they were overshadowed by your roles, your titles, or your duties. Now you focus on the things you don't like about your appearance, and you either try to compensate with lots of cosmetic extras or you disappear altogether. I want to remind you that you are loved, you are chosen, you are anointed, you are enough, you are a queen!

You don't have to put on for anyone. The only opinion and approval that matters is God's. You don't have to be weaved out, lashed out, wigged out, wearing fake nails; too tight or too loose, or too expensive anything. You can peel all of that off and still be beautiful. I want you to play dress up, but actually dress up - whatever that looks like or means for you.

Get excited! You're about to go on a hot date with yourself and get ready to become self-aware about who you are becoming.

It's okay to say that you need intellectual stimulation. Not grab your boob or smack your butt and jump straight to orgasm. You are no longer leading with your body and your vagina. Come on. We are all grown in here. Your focus is on the future and making the most of present day. Spending your time each day doing the things you want to do with those you want to spend it with. It's not about glitz, glam, material things. It's about meaningful experiences. It's about becoming all that God has called you to be.

The only way to know who He called you to be is to spend time alone with Him, getting to know Him and spending time alone with yourself so that you can get to know you. Because the truth is, we are always evolving. You aren't the same person you were last year, five years ago, 10 years ago, or even 20 years ago.

You aren't the same as when you were a kid. So that version of you may be the closest to who you are meant to be before your innocence was taken, before life happened, before puberty and cycles, before sex or emotions, or up and down hormones; before your vision was cloudy and you still daydreamed and imagined of what could be.

So, let's imagine again! What could be? What is possible if you had no fear, no excuses, no obstacles, no diagnosis, no one else's opinion? What would you dare to do? Who would you become?

Who does God say that you are? Something that is ringing loud in your spirit because as Proverbs 1816 tells us, "A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men."

What gifts are you using today? Really, what gifts are you using? What would you do right now if you could? Like what has God placed on your heart to do? Who has he called you to reach? What problem has he called you to solve? Those are the clues to your purpose. What is it that really gets under your skin when you see it, that you're like, "I wish that I could change X, Y, or Z, or positively impact this area or this group of people."

That's what I want you to start seeing, and I also want you to give yourself some grace because you can't fix it overnight. You just take a step. The hike to the top of the mountain is achieved one step at a time. So that's what I want you to focus on.

Just taking one step, little by little, makes it grow. What are those actions and steps that God has given you to really reach the people that He's called you to? That's what you need to focus on, and I also want to say that it's okay if it is different than what you used to want to do. You don't have to stay stuck in an old dream or an old desire.

Maybe what really mattered to the old version of you, is different than what matters to you now. Be adaptable and flexible to change or evolve and grow with yourself as life happens. Pivot where you need to. While you are able and capable of doing more than one thing, try to focus on getting one thing to completion, and then, moving on to the next. If you try too many things at once, you may become overwhelmed and not finish any of them.  

Most importantly, write it down. I'd say that'd be the most important part. Write the vision and make it plain. Write it down. Write down the things that you're learning about yourself as you get to know yourself better and better. Write down the things that really excite you. Write down the ideas that you have and things that you want to do. Track your progress and assess what is best to move to next and you complete each area.

Write down the things that bother you. Write down the things that you'd like to do and accomplish because when you see it on paper, it helps you to really move forward. Write the vision and make it plain that he may run that reads it. Habakkuk 2:2-3
