Welcome God’s gift to the world. You are awesome. Pay little to attention to your circumstances, and pay more attention to what God says about you. He has not changed his mind. I am a friend, a woman, a wife, a reverend, and my primary gift is that of the office of the prophet. My desire is to encourage every woman that would come this way to be strong and unshakeable in the knowledge of who you are, in the knowledge that you are God’s special creation. Bless you.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”Acts 1:8
The storm is here, the storm in now. There is a shaking a tearing, an uprooting. Unholy unions being destroyed, leaches ripped off, codependency destroyed. Wives carrying the entire responsibility of the spiritual and financial part of the family; Husbands walking in shame and failure hiding because they have been in default of leadership. Husbands working job after job to give us what we wasn’t suppose to have in the first place. The storm is here, the storm is now!
We thought he was supposed to give us everything we wanted and desired. For him not to do so made him a failure in our eyes. He gave us it all and he still remains a failure in our eyes…He thought he was to give us everything to the exhaustion and frustration of his soul. He could not be our God he could not provide us with all we wanted and even needed…he could not be our god. He hides in failure; he hides in shame. Exhausted, frustrated, and then backs out slowly in comfort by pornography, all sexual perversion, alcohol, drugs, more fruitless work…who’s fault your fault his fault ours?
“The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.”Nahum 1:3

We are At Center Stage; Are You Ready? by Rev. Sanda Scott Wright
My husband referees basketball so I asked him what did it mean to be at center stage. He is a man of few but precise words and his simple reply was, “It means all eyes are on you.” I never thought of it like that, but it was quite apropos for that is what is where every believer is right now.
We as Christians are no longer allowed being on the sidelines. We have been threshed forth by the Holy Spirit onto Center Stage. Have you found yourself the object of persecution, unfair requirements, and feeling like you’ve been taken advantage of? Feeling overworked, underpaid, underappreciated, taken for granted, asked to do 24hours worth of work in 8 hours? The list goes on. Have I captured your situation yet? The bottom-line you; we have been placed right on Center Stage on the firing line. We are being picked out to be picked on. We have been lied on to see if we can be relied on!
It’s proving time. We say we love God. We say we have forsaken all to follow Christ…but have we really? Being reviled we are to revile not. Being despised we are to despise not. We are counted as sheep before the slaughter. The servant is not greater than the Master.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. …I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. John 13:16,18

Just finished a course at the University of Notre Dame Step Program, it was awesome!
The course was on the Early Middle Ages. It let me realize how the same issues today were facing people way back then. There is nothing new under the sun.
They That Wait Upon The Lord Shall Renew Your Strength sung by Rev. Wright
Isaiah 40:28-31
Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [There is] no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
Shame Plunged Me Into the Pit of Hell by Sandra Scott Wright
I began to perform to prove I was worthy. I began to run, swim, dress differently, lose weight, I began to move faster than I ever have as if life was passing me by…I was determined that no man would make me feel I was inadequate. No one would make me feel I was a mistake.I remember my father saying to my brother and I that we were mistakes. He mentioned that our mom poked a whole in the birth control and we were conceived.I set out to prove I was no mistake.Unbeknown to me I set out to prove that I was really ashamed of who I was, and I equated the failure of our marriage as direct link to the failure of me as woman/wife/mother.
I thought my foundation was sure. I had been a Christian some 40 years. I felt myself slipping, sinking into a hole of dryness and emptiness. I had changed everything about myself after the divorce and yet I still felt empty.I quoted the scripture ‘For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:9 …and I still felt empty.I told myself I had angles encamping around me.”… Psalm 34:7 “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them”… and I still felt lonely.I went to work and had an excellent work record and I still felt useless.I had preached and encouraged women nationally and internationally, when the conferences were ended; I still felt empty…
I cried out ‘Lord where are you! Can’t you feel what I feel? I’m dying on the inside. Please help me! The new designer clothes, the diamonds I had bought for myself, they all were meaningless…I could find myself in nothing, not diamonds, new clothes, career, ministry, new look, nothing…. I was determined if this was the result of a failed marriage I would never marry for love again…
