Handpicked!!

Handpicked
  


I don’t know about you but this week was a really hard pressing week for me. In the middle of this crazy week, I heard the word “handpicked”. I thought to myself, what in the world am I hearing. I know what the word is but I was wondering why I was hearing this word in my spirit. I began to look up the definition of the word to gain more understanding and it soon became clear to me.



The word “Handpick” means to select carefully with a particular purpose in mind. To select personally.  




Sometimes in life we all go through pressing hard times and you may have asked yourself, why me Lord. Especially when you look around and see everyone else doing better than you. 

Could it be that you are “handpicked” and carefully selected by God for a specific purpose in mind. If you look at individuals who are selected personally for a job or an organization; these people are very special and are at the top of their game. These individuals have gone through extensive training and have a lot to offer the company verses someone who was randomly chosen for a job.

Your path in life is not one that everyone else around you has taken. Your path may have seemed harder, longer, and full of disappointments.  All of this you have gone through was to make you special and specifically designed you for a unique assignment. I have good news for you. You are being carefully looked over and picked out of millions to be used for a specific purpose. Your skills and talents are getting ready to be used.

Think about it: You are handpicked!

Is This You?

Is This You? I wrote an article a few days ago about the  signs of spiritual abuse  and how to recognize this type of abuse within a church. After the article was written, I was asked by someone to talk about the effects of this type of abuse because they had a friend that was still struggling with the effects of spiritual abuse. Also some people are still trying to say that this abuse is not real and that there could not possibly be any effects to such a thing. Over the past 17 years as a social worker, I have worked with many victims who have experienced all types of horrific forms of abuse; from child abuse victims to sexual abuse victims, elderly abuse, domestic violence victims, victims of assaults, human trafficking, etc. You name it; I have pretty much worked with them. Either I have counseled them; conducted support groups for them or helped them find valuable resources. Basically my job as a social worker was to help each victim begin the painful ...

Which One Are You?

The other day I ran across one of my old 2010 journals. While reading some of the things I wrote my eye caught a particular journal entry. It was an entry for the month of August 2010. In that month of the August journal entry, I wrote about David and his son Solomon; a passage in the Bible from I Chronicles chapters 22 and 28 . I was encouraged to share this journal entry from 2010 with my readers at this specific time. To describe what I was hearing in my spirit I first must give a quick overview of what was going on in chapter 28 . During that time David had called a meeting with all of the most important people in Israel. David then stood up and made an announcement to the people that he had wanted to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and he had begun to make plans to start building this mighty temple. But then he told the people that God told him that he could not build this temple due to the fact that David was a man of war and has shed bloo...

Power

Where are you getting your power from? Have you ever been around someone or a group of people for a period of time and when you went home you were completely exhausted and did not know why.  I recently had a family function and you can imagine how draining family can be sometimes. Just the idea of going to this function made me tired. To my surprise, after attending the event, I was surprised that I felt great. I was not tired or drained at all. I asked myself what was different about this family function for me not to be so drained and exhausted…nothing. Everyone was still themselves. They had not changed at all.  I realized that the night before my best friend challenged my thinking. She told me that if I go to the function thinking that it would not go well then it will not go well. I had spent days rehearsing how bad the family function would be and didn't even realize it. I played the negative thoughts in my head over and over again. By doing that, I bec...
