I'm a slow learner when it comes to the fact that you just can't second guess God! Several years ago, when God invited me through a "new door", I was convinced it was to do with my music ministry. Little did I know that I was entering the total "make-over factory"!! In the last few years God has been teaching me my worth as a person, as a child of God. I have been on the wheel, in the fire, on the anvil...yup I've come a looooong way from the person I was! You'll remember a few weeks ago, I took flight from the safety of my buoy...convinced there was ministry ahead. Wrong again!! Granted, there is the possibility that God is priming me for ministry, but before that....it's back to the make-over factory! So what is God showing me lately? He wants me to recognize my worth as a woman! And here was I thinking I was woman enough!! Guess not!! It's not about learning femininity....but rather the character of a woman...His woman! One of the things God is revealing to me....don't settle for the half measure. He is showing me, that if I want to settle for the half measure...that's all I will get. He wants me to realise my worth as a woman. I've been content with the scraps thrown at me for too long........this isn't God's desire for me. He wants me at the banquet table. He wants me to taste the best He has prepared for me. Letting go of the familiar is hard. Letting go of the thinking I'm used to...changing my mindset is hard. I have to start believing in my worth as a woman...that's hard! But I will do it. I have been on the most wonderful adventure of my life and there is so much more ahead of me. No matter how much I am hurting right now, I thank Him for it. Every teardrop that falls from my eyes becomes a diamond that He holds in His hand. I pray for every woman that reads this post......this isn't just about me, but for you too. If God wants me to realise my worth as a woman....then I know without a doubt that He is wanting the same for you. I invite you to journey with me...we can share our tears and our joys along the way.....I guess it's time to celebrate being a woman!  ps I think I'm going to be writing some posts about us women...our struggles, our fears, our triumphs...I think I am...LOL!

. . . Saying I am sorry is WORTHLESS without real repentance. True or FALSE ? Without a personal and intimate relationship with God, how can you ever realize the true identity and person of God? Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know ? Yes ? ? .

Hey Pen, beautiful post and yes it is time for us to celebrate being a woman. Sometimes we think we have to be strong, not cry, not show emotion but thats not how God made us. Recently God has shown me that he made us this way for a reason. I personally would love to accompany you on this journey to share my tears, my joy and my fears. I believe God is calling women to share with each other, to encourage, to build while taking us to our destiny. Love ya lots Kez "Be of good courage, And he shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord" Psalm 31:24

Hello Pen That was a good post. I would love to jump aboard and go through your journey with you. I believe God just wants to overflow our cups continously not just to the brim as he is wanting more and more of us each day. Only God knows what we are truely capable of! Love and blessings Kelly

as I heard tonight sometimes God will give us what we continually ask for just to shut us up and to teach us to wait on Him..... We all tend to run ahead of Him at times and it's when we realise that we got it wrong that we take heed and walk in His shadow and follow where He needs and leads.... shame ya don't live closer as having a Womens Luncheon at The Light The Way Cafe this week..... It will be an opportunity for everyone that attends to see that we are after equal in Gods eye,no matter what race,color,religion,age etc..... A Sister Hood in Christ movement of love and joy and encouragement... God Bless You always Penelope and keep walking the walk....

Pen, I have to admit your post title got a good chuckle from me. Your words and thoughts are beautifully expressed...yes we need to let our self worth be established and rooted in what God knows of us and believes of us, as that is truth. So many times we allow past rejections, failures, disappointments to paint a Picasso like picture of who we are...it is skewed, and an unrealistic portrait. Thank God He cares enough about us to help us discover who we really are. I'm right there with you. He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott Deena

Very good warrior woman...Do write so all of us can understand how He molds and makes us; how He provides a healing balm in the form of friends; and how He brings about a true love relationship once all the other relationships are mastered. Our God is a mighty God who has empowered you to communicate. Do it as the Holy Spirit leads. Peace, Beth Eh....will you be providing chocolates with these sessions?...eh..well...you know...some of us need incentives.
