What’s Calling Your Name?

 What’s Calling Your Name?    

I chose this picture because it gives a summit view, in a beautiful place. The things that call your name are set with a beautiful background. They aren’t always  beautiful journeys though, to get there. You have to make a PATH sometimes to get  there.

 I will answer this question for myself: It appears at this moment women, children and families are calling my name. So I serve them.  I have found the people in these groups have lost their voices, yet have loads to say! I can help them.

• The young girls who light up the world and are beams shining in the world.
• The mothers hopeless yet trying to find out their purpose in the midst of raising children,
• The kids who live to know their friends and what they are doing in this life and live lives vicariously through their friends with keen sense of awareness nor identity.
• The women who seek to influence in some way and need to be applauded.
• The lost souls who cry out to God for purpose.
• The little influences seen through the eye of a camera
•  The beach… in all its fullness  – wind, water, and sun.
• My Dad… as he sits in a hospital bed and I pray for him and his longevity of life. ( 8/2010)
• My nieces and nephews their futures and their babies futures.
• To lead women in retreats, conferences, identity, purpose and self-confidence.
• A silent get away like this one at: Lebh-Shomea ( a house of prayer) , in Sarita Texas.
• A new place, a new time, a new mission.
• Africa!! ;0)
•  A retreat for women on how to perfect self-evaluation.
• Motherhood.
• Babies who lack smiles because they have not been loved.
• The sunrises and sunsets of everyday.
• The ability to find my voice with regularity and consistency and helps others find theirs.
• Love, Love and to BE LOVED!!
• Friendships with common passions.
• My daughter(s).
• Red Seas – ( the Book) ~  and its desire to be published!
• My husband… all the time. ;0)
• Oklahoma! ( can ya believe it) 11/2010
• Wounded hearts and families of addiction. 11/2010
• Families to obtain knowledge through my magazine: The Kamau Voice.

 

So… what’s calling your name?

Do you spend time with yourself to hear it resound off the pages of your life?

Do you contemplate over life and living to this degree; preserve them on pages you can eventually return to and reflect?

Anyone with breath to breathe has something important enough to say – how you CHOOSE to say it , is what’s KEY. Anyone with life in their body, has something IMPORTANT TO DO; they need to prioritize their passion.

 Is  what you have to say  important enough for others to consider? What would it take for you to say it??

A Matter of Intention.

Sometimes the things we intend – don’t always materialize. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because we often give too much attention to the wrong things. My husband Tim, ( the extrovert) is a deep thinker. Because he is, we tend to have really intense discussions. He is mostly intentional about just about everything he does. It’s very hard to for him to relax in fact – because he often believes he should be doing something to stay busy.

I am also intentional – but not much  in a very “busy” way – I am more of an introvert, so  it’s very hard to discern when I am being intentional about things. We have this discussion often, about what am I thinking ( ?) because he thinks I am daydreaming or just shooting the breeze – when in fact, my mind is filled with a hundred different things at one time, and unless I sit and write some of them down, they will  just disappear.

 I thanks God for Tim, because of the level of intention at which he operates.  I have found my life takes a different turn the more intentional I am about things. I don’t know exactly what i was doing before… but I tell you, things are very good, right now,in my life, and it’s not just because I believed they would be that way, it’s the STEPS I took  in order to make it happen. The steps are critical. This is an awesome  reason reason why I believe its so important to spend time with God.  I used to just think as a believer ( in Christ) , one could just “think” something and” pray something” into happening. But at what point does God want us to “join Him” in the process of seeing  things coming to pass? I believe this is a dilemma every person that wants to please God comes into contact with. I also  believe it’s something that happens consistently.

Sometimes my level of intention can   intimidate others. I just realized this recently. But when you are a “go – getter”, things work differently for you in the universe. I believe  in miracles. So miracles happen, in my life. Sometimes things beyond my imagination. I love this, because here’s the place where God begins to come into my life and help me to fulfill my purpose.

I encourage you today to ask God to help you fill in the gaps – the places in your life where you lack understanding and you just don’t understand what will move your purpose along. Because when you are on track with God, everything else is a piece of cake.  I can accept that for many , this is really hard to believe. Because God is so complex, we often are challenged in our thinking to believe God has best interests for us at all.  Yet there’s scripture to explain this. The word says : we only have 1/4 of the picture anyway… as it pertains to our future.  1 Corinthians 13:12: “we see through a glass dimly, but then, face to face.” I don’t know about you, but I want to see God face to face! ( and sometimes I do – and man oh man, is he beautiful! )  In other words, I want to understand him- as much as He would allow me to, and be eager about my intention to have all He has for me! It’s my inheritance in the Lord, to have such goods stored up for me!
