THE SPIRIT IN YOU
about hope and God took my story and used it in ways that I never imagined it going.
Before God transformed my journey, I was terrified of the thought that I was worth more, because if I truly was, I had the potential to change the world. It was easy to believe the enemy’s lies about not having value, because it was a conferrable thought. How do you begin to think about the future, when you never thought that you would have one? As I prayed about my purpose, God continuously showed me that I am here to help others, and that when I go about that, it will not always be comfortable. So far, some incredible testimonies have been made, and it has been uncomfortable at times but yet oh so rewarding.
Within 2018, Lama-Leah has expanded outside the realms of written content. I have been able to take the message of my ministry (to bring hope to the broken) and share it through public speaking. I have spoken to a variety of ages, at several different venues. My most recent engagement was at a Christian women's conference. As I am still fairly new to speaking as a Christian blogger, I have not written a speech that I intend to use at every event. I typically ask God what He wants me to share and I go from there. At the most recent engagement, I had an hour to share my heart, but even the day of, I did not know what I
was going to specifically share about. As I entered the pulpit, the words started coming out, that I was given on the spot, and this time the message was,
"You are Worth More Than the Trauma and It Does Not Have to Define You."
I shared intimate details that I did not intend on sharing when I arrived at the Church, but I know that God had me share those experiences for a specific reason. After the conference was over, I received more hugs than I could count. I had several individuals tell me afterward, “I had a traumatic childhood as well and I did not think I would make it either," and "You gave me hope that this doesn't have to define me."
As I continue to share my story, the more I feel led to remind others, “Yes, YOU are priceless” and I pray that the rest of this article blesses you.
