Rebuilding walls out of the rubble means we also tear down unbelief, lies, and fears..
My life has never been easy. In grade school I was bullied because my name is Crystal, I was called, “Crystal Ball.” I was silent because everyone was to busy to hear. I absorbed them and never really talked about the things that scared me. I took these insecurities into High School where I was labeled as a slow learner and put into classes called “below average ” I wondered, how I would ever escape this stigma. I wasn’t one that dated in high school I never went to prom never even had a boyfriend in high school.
I’ve learned that in the process of healing He rebuilds foundations on truth ancient paths that can be built on because they have been tested tried by the fire proven to be FAITHFUL paths.
This year has been a year of discovering the true me. Being a parent at 18, raising 4 children, and 36 years later I am able to really focus on who I am. I am taking back what has been stolen and redeem it for the purpose of the kingdom. Foundations being restored and Beauty being made out of Ashes.
I write post on Facebook and my children say that I am a horrible writer. Yet I got a phone call yesterday from a group out of Ohio that’s asked me to write for them and be one of their authors. She said we are so blessed to have you.. Tears of Joy filled my heart His restoring identity never ends. I said, I’m not a very good writer. I have run on sentences. She said, I really just want you to be you. Wow, you have no idea how my heart wept. “You are enough.” Spoken from the throne room of heaven. It is your time, your season, to arise and claim what past generations could not step into.’ I wept..
He hears our hearts cries. Thoughts filled my heart.
“We want you to be a regular author on our page.” Me. We need your Bio.’
Wow, He moves beyond time onto eternal. We live so much in the known. My heart is to draw from the unknown, to hear know and perceive His thoughts that rise above Earthly. There are Treasures in secret places. May God draws us in so that we might see His goodness in the land of the living which brings hope restored.
Your gifts and talents are waiting to be released don’t ever let the world take them from you. Arise to the place He has prepared for you before the foundations of this world. Dream big, never let go, put your hand to the plow, and never look back. He will show himself strong on your behalf. Restored identity eternal love Kingdom purposes. Warrior princesses are arising and setting a new precedents on earth as it is on heaven.
BE You.. Eternal bridegroom King He makes all things new.
