-THE SHADOWS OF OTHERS. IT WAS IN THESE YEARS THAT I BEGAN TO SEE GOD WORKING IN MY LIFE AND DOWNLOADING HIS SUPERNATURAL PLANS THAT HE HAD FOR ME INTO MY HEART. PLANS JUST AS SCRIPTURE TELLS US, THAT ARE GREATER THAN WE COULD EVER ASK FOR, THINK, OR IMAGINE (EPHESIANS 3:20). THOUGH I DIDN'T DOUBT GOD COULD ACCOMPLISH THESE CRAZY BIG PLANS, I DID DOUBT THAT I WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO USE TO ACCOMPLISH THEM.  FLASH FORWARD TO THE BEGINNING OF 2020 WHEN I WENT ON A MISSIONS TRIP TO BRAZIL, THE TRIP THAT WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. IT WAS ON THIS TRIP THAT I TRULY ENCOUNTERED A NEW LEVEL OF GOD THAT I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE AND THAT HE SPOKE TO ME IN SUCH A MEANINGFUL WAY, REMINDING ME THAT I AM NOT ONLY GOOD ENOUGH, BUT THAT I AM CHOSEN, SET APART FROM OTHERS FOR A PURPOSE. THE UNIQUE GIFTS I HAVE ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE TYPE OF CALLING GOD HAS FOR ME IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. THIS REALIZATION COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW I LIVED MY LIFE AND I FELT INSPIRED TO SHARE THAT WITH OTHER WOMEN, FORMING CHOSEN & FREE. BECAUSE ONCE YOU REALIZE YOU ARE CHOSEN UNIQUELY BY GOD, YOU ARE SET COMPLETELY FREE. AND HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! EACH AND EVERY DAY, I WAKE UP DRIVEN WITH THE MISSION TO JOYFULLY INSPIRE OTHERS SO THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH SETS THEM FREE. I’M BEYOND BLESSED TO GET TO DO LIFE WITH EACH OF YOU AND MY FAMILY, BOTH BIOLOGICAL AND CHOSEN.
