Welcome

Embracing Me is an opportunity for us to connect with ourselves...learning to embrace the God within. The post that I share with you are very real. The experiences of my life (whether good, bad or indifferent) sought to develop me into a Woman who honors the God that dwells inside of me.

For over 10 years I fought against sharing my life's experiences with the world but I also neglected to fully share my gifts. You may ask why I denied myself to live and the answer is fear! After relinquishing the fear of my own thoughts as well as the thoughts of others I have decided to do and be all that God has ordained. He chose me to share my testimonies through songs, poetry, short stories and encouraging words.

I invite you to travel with me as I journey into yet another fearful place, seeking to please the Father while providing healing, restoration and inspiration as chosen. It is my hope that these words will improve your daily living.

My charge to you: Think Well. Do Well. Speak Well. Be Well. Live Well.


"For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:10-11

Do you know who you are?

Do you know who I am? More importantly, do you know who you are?

Many of us see but with skewed and blurred vision.  We look at one another but lack the ability to see who stands before us because we are unaware of who we are. So here I share not only who I AM but who WE are as children of the Most High God.




I AM beautiful ~ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14 - NIV)



I AM courageous ~ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged. (1 Chronicles 22:13 - ESV)



I AM victorious ~ for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4 - NIV)



I AM strong ~ Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (Ephesians 6:10 - NLT)


I AM a saved ~ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8)


I AM free ~ God is my protection. He makes my way free from fault. (2 Samuel 22:33 - NCV).
~ Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:36 - NKJV)


I AM healed ~ But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5 - NIV)

I AM new ~ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (1 Corinthians 5:17 - NKJV)



I AM complete ~ and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority (Colossians 2:10 - NASB)



I AM redeemed ~ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13-14 - NKJV)




I AM blessed ~ Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. (Psalm 128:4 - KJV)
~ And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. (Deuteronomy 28:2 - KJV)



I AM forgiven ~ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7 NKJV)
~ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 - ESV)


I AM chosen ~ You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain... (John 15:16 - NASB)



I AM God's child ~ I am born again of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23)



I AM a temple of God ~ Do you know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16 - NKJV)



I AM a Royal Priesthood ~ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 - NIV)



I AM more than a conqueror ~ in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37 -NIV)



YOU ARE CREATED IN THE LIKENESS & IMAGE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD!
YOU ARE WONDERFULLY & BEAUTIFULLY MADE!



PRAYER:
God of light and love, help us to see ourselves and one another as You see us and as You have created us - in Your likeness and image. Renew our minds and remove the shadows that seek to overshadow what Your word speaks about us as Your children. Thank You Lord for loving us the way You do and for considering us. In Jesus Name, Amen
