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, 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.

Finding Oneself After Divorce. Crossing The River Jordan.

I Am An Independent Woman; I Don’t Need A Man! by Sandra Scott Wright

I Became An Independent Single Woman Free At Last!

The next months and days were quite revealing. I began to turn inwards towards myself. I Who was I? What did I like? What did I want?  What were my plans?  These were all questions for the first time I found myself being faced with.  I began to explore things I’ve always wanted to do, but there was always a reason to not do it…Not enough money, time, etc. This time I was going to do the things I enjoyed. I took up swimming and began to run track. I lost 100lbs in the process. I took myself out to dinner and on Wednesdays, took myself to my favorite place for lunch. Often as I sat alone at such lunches I would think if anyone had told me I would be at such a wonderful place having such a marvelous lunch and doing it all by myself I would have told them they were crazy.

The waitresses soon began to pre-prepare my place and order my lunch whenever I would arrive; I was becoming a regular.  I knew what the bill would be $25.00 and I would always leave a nice tip sometime $10.00 just grateful for the personable service and the ability to be able to do it.  Oh yes I forgot to mention I was blessed to reinstate my license as a nurse. It was one of the fastest turnaround times according to the nursing board! God was and still is faithful.

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…

Storms Are Here sung by By Rev. Sandra Scott Wright

Storms Are Here sungy by Rev. Sandra Wright

Wind, rain, fire, clouds, dust, confusion, chaos, anger, bitterness, resentment, hate, turmoil, confusion, relocation, disorder, uprooting, disjointing, CHANGE….

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 storm is here, to rip these ungodly unions, these ungodly requests, these ungodly standards.  The house is going into foreclosure, the car is being repossessed, that mother-in-law, family member is being sent back home, to the nursing home; or final home, they’re be gone soon.  That furniture is being repossess. The very rings on our finger that we knew he couldn’t afford to give us is being repossessed, lost or will fall apart…Yes the storms are here, the storm is Now! Who told us that he was to be our God? Who told you that she was to be your Goddess?  Who told you that the earthly things you possessed measured your success or failure? They have become our slave master. You want to quit but can’t, you want to call off but you can’t. You want to just walk on the beach but you can’t. Your slave master, that house, car, your own lust for more has captured and enslaved you. We cannot say no to her, or him or to ourselves…

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

God is the God of second chances! This is our 6th year and here are pictures of our anniversary dinner with flowers and all enjoy!

We had dinner at Texas De Bazil it was awesme!

The roses are the flowers I received at home. I used to just get one rose every year but God has blessed in this new marriage with flowers abundance!  I got 12 red roses at home and blooming colorful flowers sent on my table at the restaurant.

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.

Ladies We Are Now Good Enough!

author Rev. Sandra Scott Wright

Great Scholars, studying what they call “emotions” and we call spiritual forces, said the following:

“Guilt says I’ve done something wrong; shame says there is something wrong with me.

Guilt says I’ve made a mistake; shame says I am a mistake.

Guilt says what I did was not good; shame says I am no good.”  Bradshaw (1988)

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.

When Hebrew turns “lights” on in passages like Isaiah 40:31: “they that wait

Wife? Divorcee? Single Woman? Who Am I Now?

by Sandra Scott Wright

No longer wife, who was I now?  I enjoyed jogging, but was I a jogger? I enjoyed swimming but was I a swimmer?  Who was I? I began to write poetry, I read books still searching for identity.  Deep down inside I believed I didn’t want to get married again …no not ever.  The pain of abandonment was too intense.  Shame, I felt shame to some extent, shame of a failed marriage. Shame that somehow I wasn’t good enough…

My parents had been married some 50+ years and never divorced. I was a  minister encouraging women and married couples everywhere, and now me I was divorced! Shame of somehow I had failed. I wasn’t good enough.  Maybe if I had cooked better, sewed better ( I use to tailor my husband’s suits) was more romantic etc. Maybe if I was a different me.

It dawned on me for the past year I had been secretly trying to prove to myself that I ‘was’ good enough. That was why the jogging, the swimming, the losing weight etc.  Though I enjoyed these things deep down inside I was trying to prove to myself, that I ‘was’ good enough.  It was only towards the end of this journey that I realized I was still empty. It was all disillusionment.  Who was I fooling? Who was I trying to prove things too? I realized there was no one to prove anything too, not even myself. I was not identified as a wife only, or even single woman. I was not just a nurse, or minister who had failed in her marriage…I was a child of God. A daughter of the King of Kings! I was not a woman who had failed in marriage. I was not a barren women childless, I was not a single woman with no one to love her…I was the daughter of the King of Kings. I was fearfully and wonderfully made. I was the head and not the tail of anything my Father had created.  I was of royalty not based upon my journey or failures or success but based upon whom I belonged to…I was and is a child of the King.  My daddy is rich in houses and land; he holds the power of the entire world in the palm of his hands.  He told me to…

Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.” Psa 2:8

He instructed me to… “Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.  “…command ye me concerning the works of my hands.”  Isa 45:11
