THE STORY BEHIND THE PODIUM AND THE DRESSER VANITY: The podium below was made out of the dresser vanity on the top of the dresser. I was going to throw it away; because I wanted a new look for my room. When I went to throw it; the Holy Spirit said don't throw it. I want to show you something. (To hear entire story and how this relates to you Keep reading below. This is a POWERFUL, AND PROPHETIC MESSAGE that can change your life IF YOU CAN ONLY BELIEVE!!!

The earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof and those that dwell within. The story behind the podium and the dresser. One day I was in my room, I wanted to refresh my room, and to give it sorta a new look. So I wanted to take the vanity top off my dresser, and just put a mirror on the wall in it's place. The dresser I had had for over 15 years. So as I took the vanity down; I heard the Holy Spirit impress in my heart not to throw the vanity top away. He had me to look at it to see what I could salvage it for. By me being an Hairstylist; I always try to save mirrors so I got a couple of tools and took the mirror out. I thought to myself; well I could just get some moldings and frame the mirror and use that over my dresser in it's place. That was enough for me; however not for God. I had been praying to God about many things in my life and the calling on my life was one of them. So as the Holy Spirit had prompted me further; he nudged me to take the vanity apart for the wood. As I did; it was a bit of a fight to get it to come apart; but by his grace I got it. I thought to myself; boy I can just use this wood to make a shelf above my computer. That would have been just a straight board across; on two brackets; but still the Holy Spirit had something else in mind to show me. I always have fellowship with the Father as I am doing things throughout my day. So him talking to me by his Spirit was nothing new. Infact, usually this is when I get most of my post or messages. I listen ever so closely to the Holy Spirit; because he is a teacher so I am always eager to learn something. Okay, back to the dresser....So the wood came apart and I started piling up what I could use and what I didn't want. As I took this particular piece of wood apart and stood it up. It was the body for the podium; at least one half. Then I grabbed the other piece that looked just like it, and stood it up on the other side. I then had the full body. Hmmmm!!! It was like the children building the temple of God. I didn't have to search much for the wisdom on what I was doing. God just gave me the knowing. Once I seen that the wood stood up on it's own; I then tried to curve them to give it the curved shape. I did bend; because the wood was interlock wood, so it was tongue and grooved. I guess I am saying that right. Then, I saw what the Holy Spirit was instructing me to do. So I went get some tools and cut the base. The base I had to piece together two halves of wood together to make a whole; so that the edges could be rounded. It comes off the very top of the vanity. The top I had to cut to halves of some of the wood to make a whole as well. I didn't exactly know how a podium was suppose to be exactly so I went online and google it. I found a picture that was made of glass, and it was like the picture I was seeing in my Spirit. I put the two pieces together and had to get hinges, and some wood glue to put make them stay. It was a little tough at first, but again with the wisdom and help of the Holy Spirit he kept pushing me along. Once I say how it was coming out; I had to stop and go get some things from the store to secure it with, and varnish to stain it. I was excited!!! I messed with it about 2 weeks. At the end I needed some wood to sorta frame the trim top and bottom; The Holy Spirit impressed upon me not to use anything else new or bought. So I had some scrapes left over. Once I cut them; I had enough. I had even made a wrong cut and God fixed it that I had just enough even after the mistake. My God!!!

Now the amazing thing about this that I have never taken carpentry classes or anything. No one ever sat me down and said this is how you fix things. Nobody is going to say; here come learn; but the Holy Spirit will teach you things from life; if you will stay pliable and teachable. I could remember being a single parent needing things done and I would ask God for his help. I had dated a Carpenter; so I sorta used to watch him and I also like to watch the fix it up shows. However, I never could do anything like this. Once I cried out to God he said I am not going to send anyone to help you. I want to teach you how to do some things for yourself. I was mad for along time at first, but was obedient. I soon realize it wasn't even a lesson about fixing things; but more lessons about other Spiritual things. Once I began to fix things to the best of my ability; she then gave me a Spirit of excellence where I wanted to do things right. So I started doing things over until I would do it right. That challenged me. After that he made me take a big project like a whole room and redoing the whole things. Painting the walls the ceilings, outlets, and their cover changed, ceiling fans and a new tiled floor or vinyl. I then saw that God through this hard work was teaching me how to be steadfast and disciplined, but most of all he developed me become as a project manager. I could complete a whole entire project without leaving anything undone. I began to use this in my Christian walk. None of this was easy; do I consider myself a carpenter??? No, do I want to do this??? No. I never want to see a paint brush or hammer again. LOL; but the lessons that I have gotten from having difficulties has made me strong in areas I didn't even know exited. Now I am able to see potential in almost anything. Which is how God looked at you and me; when we were about to be tossed out in the trash....God gave us a second look through his Son Jesus.

Now here is the amazing and prophetic part of the whole matter; God saw the end from the beginning...so he knew when man made that out of a dresser that it would end up being a podium. He has called each of us to do and be what he has ordained us to be. Right now you may be looking like that dresser vanity; when he called you to be a pulpit. You may think like me; how can that be possible?? But I tell you like Jesus told his disciples anything is possible if you can just believe and doubt not. Do you know everything was used and nothing was wasted??? Nothing in your life will be wasted either if you let God craft you into what he wants you to be. Even when I messed up; he made provision that I had enough wood even after my mess up. God doesn't look at your mess up as unfixable. Infact, when he called you; he included the mess ups as part of his observation before selecting you and he chose you anyway. So don't let that stop you from allowing God to transform you into that man, women, boy or girl who he has created you to be. Don't settle for being something that you not. My motto is I will die trying. I am believing God to be what he has ordained me to be from the foundations of the earth. I believe that it will be done; by his Spirit. I see it and I call it forth everyday. In order for me to build what the Father was instructing me to build; I had to first see it. If you can see it you can be it. So don't throw your dreams out. I ask you to look again. Look at it through God's eyes. I ask you, what have God declared you to be??? Are you going to see yourself as God sees you??? Or are you going to remain stuck in what man has made you??? (the dresser??) If you don't already know by now; God said; let their be light, and there was light. Light obeyed God and come forth. It was God's word that light obeyed. You have to believe and call forth your purpose/calling and it has to obey you because God said in his word to call forth those things that are not as though they are. GREATNESS LIES WITHIN YOU NOT BECAUSE OF YOU; BECAUSE OF JESUS. YOU ARE ALREADY WHAT GOD SAID YOU WOULD BE. IT'S UP TO YOU TO CALL IT FORTH AND BELIEVE AND IT SHALL BE DONE. IT'S UP TO YOU TO BE IT!!! I am believing God that this message is a message of hope and that it inspires you to look at things a little different. Though you may have difficulties they are will shape and teach you a gift that you didn't even know that you had, and ALL FOR THE GLORY OF FATHER. Now don't get it twisted, LOL I don't want to be masculine or anything!!!! I want my future husband to take that role from me; and I will walk gracefully in my feminine role; but until that happens.....God has been a keeper and my rock. So in him do I trust eternally.

Thx for taking the time to hear my testimony. MAY GOD BE MAGNIFIED. Keep looking up for your redemption is drawing near. Please keep me in your prayers always. GBU
