But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10

Fears…

Insecurities…

Anxiety…

Depression…

Bitterness…

Anger…

Addictions…

So many heartbreaking issues that plague millions, if not billions around the world.

They wake up each day with a hole in the center of their souls. They fill doctor’s offices, psychotherapy couches, liquor stores and drug alleys.

They cry out from their broken marriages, lonely existence and purposeless lives.

They walk the streets and malls, looking for the next bling to purchase, in an attempt to fill up the void.

They jump from one relationship to the other, or cannot remain faithful to their spouses.

They are wanderers.

Our first impulse is to think these wanderers to be lost.

But that’s not always true. Many of them sit in the pew right beside us. At church. In Sunday school.

Their smiles are skin-deep.

Their religion does not transform.

No. They aren’t lost.

But they wander. Aimlessly.

The poem speaks truth: “Not all who wander are lost.” But a wandering soul has not purpose. A wandering soul lives as if it doesn’t belong.

A wondering soul does not live as a daughter of the King.

Her past, other people’s decisions and opinions still rule her life.

She is a slave and doesn’t even know it.

She forgets she was Chosen. Set apart as royalty.

That’s who we are.

Royalty.

We didn’t knock on the King’s doors and begged to be chosen. No. He saw us, brokenness and all, and CHOSE to adopt us.

Take a moment to think about it.

When God adopted you, He wrote your name on His Testament. Everything that is His… is yours for the taking.

The best room in the castle.

Take possession of your rightful position as His child.

On October 14, an amazing group of some of my dear friends and wonderful teachers of the Word, are getting together for the second SHE SOARS Women’s Conference at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Jonesboro, GA.

If you were one of the many women who joined us for SHE SOARS 2016, you know it – You don’t want to miss it!

It’ll be a day of worship and teaching of God’s Word. Each workshop and section is being designed to help you grasp the full meaning of your position as a chosen daughter of the King.

I promise you one thing: should you come and let the messages take root in your heart, you will leave the conference CHANGED.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us for a day that could change your life forever.

• Once more, we are offering workshops for teenagers and young adults, so you can make this a mother/daughter date.
• New this year: we are offering a Spanish workshop! We are very excited to be able to offer an amazing teaching section to our Hispanic sisters, in their native language! Spread the word!

Two of my favorite organizations are coming to support the conference, as well as teach special workshops:

Christian United For Israel (CUFI) – the largest Christian pro-Israel grassroots organization in the United States, dedicated to transforming millions of pro-Israel Christians into an educated, empowered, and effective force for THE chosen people of God – Israel. www.Cufi.org

She Is Safe – An international organization engaged in the fight against sex trafficking and the debasing view of women in impoverished countries around the world: www.sheissafe.org.

There will be more information to come on our blog soon – and registrations will open August 1 on our website.
