Shakin' Things Up

About a year ago, Reverend Tim Storey, a Hollywood minister/counselor, who counsels celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr., Brittany Spears, etc. came to my church as a guest minister. He is an amazing man if God and the services that I went to that he taught at were life changing. At the fourth one of the weekend, on a Sunday evening, towards the close of the service, he was speaking healing/prophesies over people. He called anyone who had been suffering with severe headaches to go up, and be prayed for. I've always gotten bad headaches so my friend encouraged me to go up. Funny thing is, he didn't pray for my headaches. As I was walking up, he said "Woman of God. World shaker. You're going to have a great life.". He layed his hands on me, and didn't say anything else. That is probably the most impacting night I've ever had. Maybe that I ever will have. I got home that night, and I wrote "I am I world shaker and I am going to have a GREAT life" on a sticky note and stuck it to my mirror. Everything I feel uncertain about my future, or who I am, or what I'm suppose to do. Every time someone puts me down, it makes me feel like crap, I try to remind myself about that prophesy. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, or how I think of myself; God has already laid out my further for me, and all I have to do is go with it. I had given up for awhile. I thought... "whats the point in trying anymore?". Until i realized that the struggles I go through now are just here to build me, prepare me, and make me strong enough to shake this world and everything in it. 

"For I know that plans I have for you'," says The Lord, "plans for good and not evil, to give you a future and a hope."
