I AM – Your Beauty Lesson1
1. Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him?
Yes, I have a few friends who constantly lean on me in their times of trouble. I have also been placed here for my family as well. To support and to stand up in my faith (not that I have been doing so well at times, but I know I’m supposed to).
2. Can you honestly describe yourself as a woman with a ‘yes’ in her spirit? If not, what keeps you from this?
No, because of fear. Fear of the unknown, Fear of failure…which all boils down to Fear. I need to step out in faith and not to fear. God has not given me a spirit of Fear, but of power, might and of a sound mind!
3. Do you recognize any circumstances in your life which could be described as an ‘unrecurring event’? Have you ever said ‘no’ to one and watched God use someone else instead?
I do, there have been times that I felt a crushing in my spirit when seen something done that I knew in my heart that I was supposed to do, but for some reason (probably fear) I didn’t step up to do.
4. Are you in an emotionally and spiritually healthy place? If yes, how are you using this freedom to minister to others? If no, what do you feel is holding you in your Egypt?
Yes, some days. I am taking steps to keep me Spiritually healthy. Some days I fail, but I dust myself off and try again! I have begun to commit to prayer. Praying for those in need and those whom God lays on my heart.

I enjoyed seeing your heart through your answers. Thanks for praying for me my friend, bless you.
Isn’t it great that we can dust ourselves off and start again and God still Loves us!! Keep going Annabelle and let go of that fear! The Lord Bless you!
I have also experienced this kind of fear…I believe for me it was rooted in not trusting God to want what I thought was best for me. There is so much freedom in realizing He is FOR US and working on our behalf. I’ve always been thrilled in obedience in ways I could have never imagined on my own.
So glad you are a part of this study…what a great group !!

Loved that image of dusting ourselves off and trying again. Have a wonderful day!
Ahh, isn’t it wonderful that His mercies are new EVERY morning!
Fear of failure is another big one for me, or fear of not doing something perfectly. I’m so worried that I won’t be perfect that I don’t even try at times. It looks like fear is an issue for a lot of us!
Fear of failure has been a big one in my life too – sometimes I still find myself struggling with the old lies I used to believe…but I’m learning more and more to trust in Him completely!
