...imperfectly perfect!!!
I am often amazed how God uses our (dis)ability as our ability to inspire others. I think I have always known that I am different. It wasn't until my nephew Trace (my Papi) was diagnosed with Obsessive Complusive Disorder (OCD) that I could make sense of what I was feeling. Most people think that OCD is just counting and an obsession with cleanliness, but it shows up differently in different people. Although I do a little of the counting, my symptoms are overthinking/processing, anxiety, and the need to be "perfect" and in control at all times. I found myself agitated and depressed often, but God saw past my imperfections!
Three years ago in 2017, God began whispering to me that I needed help and needed to make some changes. He put people in my life that love me, but helped me to see areas where God was trying to heal me. I paused only to hear what He had to say, but like Jonah, I fled and didn't obey. He continued to give me the commission of starting HIS work through my business. I answered back, overthinking as always, "I don't know enough! I'm not good enough!" God said that is all true, but "I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH!" This pandemic has allowed me to be still and spend more time with God. I am thankful that although I am not perfect, I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14)
I hope that emGODiment will remind us to always love, respect, and support one another without being controlled by or criticized for our disabilities and differences.
God's shining light cultivates our growth which commands that we let our own light shine. Where are you on your journey? Be blessed and be a blessing!
