“HE SAID MEET ME IN MIAMI”

God, that is! He sure has His way of communicating with us, and this message was from the song, ‘At The Club’ one morning while I was running in Nigeria. Ad let me tell ya, now that I’m in Miami, HE HASN’T DISAPPOINTED ME WITH HIS INTIMATE AND LOVING PRESENCE. Not only am I getting these constant God winks that pop up all over the place, I’m especially paying attention to all His AMAZINGNESS. I’m back asking, ‘God, what have I done to deserve such kindness from You?’

But in a conversation with my mom, who came from the Bahamas to hang out with us (another blessing), she told me about someone who had a difficult time dealing with shame. I love a Bible verse that says,

“as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions (wrongdoings, faults) from us.” – Psalm 103:12

Recently, when someone reminded me of some mistakes I’ve made in the past, I responded, “I learned crucial life lessons from those failures. They’ve made me better and wiser.” I’ve simply written them off as life experiences I needed in the making of who I am today. “Be proud of who you are, and not ashamed of how someone else sees you.”

We get experienced in life from having experiences. We WON’T always get everything right. No one does. But we can all hold our heads high despite our screw-ups and humiliations KNOWING we are unconditionally loved and accepted by the Creator of the entire universe (SMILE). When those thoughts of condemnation come, we can beat our heads with a stick and think positive thoughts of faith and hope in anticipation of a successful future. And we can commit to working on our faults.

That’s why we can wake up every day happy, focused on God’s love, not the world’s disapproval and judgment. Forget shame and guilt! Today I ran 5 miles with Him getting my Godfidence up listening to my Coach Bennet from the Nike Run Club. His advice today is for us to have the courage to keep beginning again and getting back on the starting line. So, no matter where your starting line is right now, draw an imaginary line in the sand, get back up, and know that God is with you, and that He loves and accepts you exactly as you are right at this moment no matter what has happened in the past. Kk? HE CAN HELP US GET THROUGH ANYTHING!!! Heads held high my super peeps!
