I’m so glad you’re here today. It feels like the perfect time to talk about life, purpose, and all those moments that define who I am as a woman. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about destiny and how it creeps up, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. As I reflect on my life, I see the sun shining bright through the lace curtains as I look out the window of the unknown. I have the opportunity to create the life I’ve always wanted.
You know, one day at church, I heard a message straight from the heart of God: “Bless my people.” It made me stop and think about what blessings truly mean. They’re not just words; they shape our futures, like when a father speaks over his children. It’s kind of magical how those words can turn into reality. If an evil warlock can pronounce curses on people they hate, think of how much more powerful it is to announce blessings on those you love.
I’ve been inspired by Jael’s story from the Bible, a tale I recently turned into a song. Jael’s courage in Judges Chapter 4, where she played a decisive role during the Israelite and Canaanite conflict, really stood out to me. I talk about her bravery in my podcast, Relationship Rock. Her courageous actions inspired me to write a beautiful song about her. You’ll hear the chorus when you listen to the show. Tell me what you think about the song.
It’s funny how life throws challenges at us that shape our destiny, kind of like Joseph or Job. Their stories remind me that these trials are inevitable. When will your moment of destiny come? Jael seized her moment and changed everything with an act of bravery. My God! She killed the captain of an army. All by herself, with weapons that may not be the most efficient. Wow, it’s a reminder to me that I have a unique path, and many times, unexpected bravery lies at the heart of it.
You’re embarking on your journey too, with your own unique path, waiting somewhere out there or maybe right under your nose. It’s about trusting God in the process. Trust that every twist and turn is carving out a part of your story. And while you’re on this adventure, know that you’re supported. God is there, guiding you with love and the Holy Spirit as your helper. If you’re seeking direction, just ask. Chances are, answers are waiting for you to uncover them. And when they do, dive in with all you’ve got.
Thanks for sticking with me through this conversation today. I hope you feel encouraged to shine bright in whatever you do. Remember to spread love in every direction, to God, yourself, and everyone you meet.
God bless, Shirah Chanté, Relationship Artist
