WOW! I’m on a high! Living out my purpose feels great! I’m filled to overflowing!
Wanted to update you about my MOPS(Mothers of Preschoolers)talk this morning. Thank you for your prayers. God answered them. But first I had to press through the battle. I was so sick this morning. So full of nerves. Wanting to say forget it. I didn’t know if I could share, all I wanted to do was lay down. I felt weak and sick to my stomach. My back ached. Anyway, I prayed and surrendered my day to God as I put on my makeup(my happy face)! As the meeting time approached, I felt a little lift. By the time I got there, I thought, “Ready or not, here I am.” No turning back now.
My talk encouraged women/moms to be their God given self, not “one size fits all.” I challenged them to consider what their gifts and interests are. Reminding them that life is a discovery process of learning who God made us to be. I also challenged them to start saying yes to some things and no to others. Being good to self is a good thing! Others benefit! We looked at a few lies and then focused in on truth. And as always, I used word pictures and props to make my points: laundry baskets and a blanket/robe. My goal was to free each mom up to be unique and not to buy into the world’s pressures to do and be MORE.
When I finished, I heard lots of positive feedback. I sat in on one small group Q&A time. There were about 50 women total. They all seemed to get it. Yeah! I am so thankful to God for given me the opportunity to be a voice of encouragement. Sure the prep work was hard and stressful for me–the procrastinator. But the reward is worth it! JOY! This is why I live!
“Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

I am so glad that you were obedient and willing to be used by God! I wish I could have been in that group of moms, I am sure I could have benefited from what you shared!
There is absolutely nothing like the joy we are filled with when we do those things we know the Lord has called us to do, no matter how hard they seem to be… when we surrender to Him and allow Him to do them through us He definitely fills us with joy immeasurable! So glad you are experiencing that JOY today!
Blessings!

How awesome that you were able to speak as you did despite not feeling well!
I’m sure the ladies enjoyed your message!
B His Girl says
Yeah Tiffany. I am so glad the Lord’s words came through you. I have been hearing B More, B Moore? My friend and I sent Beth a ‘box’ with God ordered stuff in it. We stamped B Moore on the box meaning Be More. It is about using what we have been given. There is freedom in that. B His Girl Tiffany. B

I knew you could do it! 🙂 I am glad that you recognized the old enemy of our souls and those that you were going to speak to. You had a powerful message that the enemy didn’t like to get out.
Happy Dancing for you this morning Tiffany.
Love and hugs,
Paulette
