2010 and IT IS GOOD!

It's 2010.  Praise the Lord!


2009 was the Year of Tribulation for a lot of folks.  Even up until the 11th hour, I was praying to God, please let me make it to 2010.  Seriously, it was that kind of year.

For example, I arrived home on December 29th after having spent 10 idyllic days with family in bucolic Durham, North Carolina to find my bedroom looking as if it had been bombed.  Paint peeling off the walls, ceiling plaster everywhere and bed still moist from a seemingly indoor shower.  Well, it seems that the heat  had been turned up in my apt. building and the steam radiator had spewed steam and water into the bedroom for over 10 days.  With the windows closed, the room had become a veritable steam sauna.  I am just grateful that my clothing in the closet was not damaged.  Miraculously, my computer nor television had been in the line of steam droplets.  At first, I bemoaned my situation.  I was furious with the downstairs neighbors who had requested more heat.  This was just one more act of destruction emanating from them.  I asked God, "How much more can I take?"  Well, God calmed my spirit by saying, "It's just water, child and you were planning to paint anyway......weren't you?"  Yes, I had said I was going to decorate the apt., leave it better than I had initially found it and move onto the next level.

So, what does this experience have to do with Biblical Beauty?  Well, because of the water damage in my apt., I am indeed forced to finish my home improvement project I had begun early in the year.  Every room had been painted thus far except for the bedroom.  The kitchen has been partially painted awaiting the competion of an accent wall.  Now, I am committed to finishing the entire project.  Moreover, I have to finish this apt. before accepting stewardship of my own new home.  I know this in my spirit. 


A BIBLICAL BEAUTY knows that her environment reflects her persona and reveals what she is thinking.  Beauty, ambiance, style, orderliness and completion are just as important in one's appearance.  God wants everything in our lives complete, orderly and stylish, reflecting a beauty that is a veritable expression of His glory.  When He created the heavens and the earth, He looked upon each phase of completion and said, "IT IS GOOD."

Let's wrap it up Biblical Beauties.  Every area of our lives and our very appearance has to reflect the express glory of God for this next level of spiritual advancement.

 2010 is the year of TANGIBLE MANIFESTATION OF OUR DESIRES.  Biblical Beauties everywhere will now reap!


MARRIAGES



BABIES


CAREER SUCCESS


HOMES


With that said, I am going to emphasize NEXT LEVEL BIBLICAL BEAUTY.  When we walk down the street, people should see a glorious expression of the living God and the whole universe should express in unision, IT IS GOOD.



BIBLICAL BEAUTIES, I just admonish you to pray to our Lord for a greater capacity to handle the vision that is YOU!

God bless you and Happy New Year!
