Speaking Engagement...

Next month marks 3 yrs since my world was suddenly turned upside down. A time in my life that caused me to question everything I believed in. Events that I thought I'd never recover from or overcome. Now before, during and even after these events took place I had been getting more involved in my community and local organizations especially the Pro-Life movement.
 Even being known by the name "Esther" through out the Pro-Life community because of my involvement. And just like Esther was the voice for the Jews by risking her life for their safety. The Pro-Life individuals who stand outside the abortion mills praying and risking their lives (as they're threatened, arrested and some physically harmed) are also the voice for GOD's people...not just the Jewish race but the voice for an entire pre-born population (which includes ALL races)!!

I have always loved this verse: Esther 4:14 "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews/pre-born(added) from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther has always been my favorite book of the Bible as well as my favorite female Bible Hero...because she is a woman of profound strength and courage! A woman who risked her life and used her voice to save an entire race that had been sentenced to death! Over the years I have longed for the strength and courage of Esther to be able to use my voice to fight the injustice of this world!

Sadly though there have been more times than not when my voice has been silenced and the courage to stand up and use it stripped away from me by others.  So over the past 3 yrs I have been working on regaining that strength and finding the courage to finally use my voice! My life verse while "Walking With GOD In The Desert" over these past years has been: Genesis 50:20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." During these trials, tests and tribulations that I have gone through, experienced and continue to go through - this verse has encouraged me that everything I have endured has not been in vain but indeed has a purpose!

Which brings me to my defining moment...my "Esther" moment, so to speak. The "such a time as this" moment that GOD has been preparing me for. I had no idea that He would choose to use me in such an incredible way! That He would grant me this desire, this longing of my heart that I have had for quite some time! This incredible opportunity is an honor and such an humbling experience for me!  This opportunity, this moment when I step forward with the strength and courage that Esther had that day, is taking place in a couple months when I will be standing/speaking before 130 women as their key note speaker!

As I prepare to stand before these women of all walks of life: Women who have struggled and suffered. Women who are broken, discouraged, alone and at their "witz end". Women who have been rejected, betrayed, lied to and violated in the worst ways. I now have the humbling opportunity to use my own life experiences to encourage and inspire! To speak truth and shower them with GOD's love! And to use my voice to speak on behalf of hundreds of thousands of women whose voices have been silenced and to represent those who will never be able to use their voice again! I have the honor to stand before them with the strength and courage of Bible Heroes of the past on this platform GOD has given and entrusted me with. Leading by example by showing these women that they can overcome and survive anything and that they're not walking through this ALONE!!

I don't know how GOD is going to use me on this defining day. Even if 1 woman can find the strength and courage to find and use her voice! Then everything I went through was indeed not in vain and my time speaking in front of these women was a great success!! Please pray for me as I prepare my speech for this women's event. That GOD will give me the words He wants me to speak.  I have never spoken on this type of platform before. So I am a little nervous but very excited and I feel truly blessed!
Thank you again for your prayers and I will keep you posted! :)
