Join the Unqualified UnStuck Woman Club!

Welcome to the last of day the Life Unstuck 2 Year Birthday Party WEEK!

It has been a blast!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for joining my party!

I just want to close our week with a little reminder that we are BEAUTIFUL just as we are!

God loves you just as you are!

YOU are MORE THAN Good enough! You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

As I am writing this post, a song is running through my head that won’t let go and it isn’t “Jesus Loves Me”…it’s that old Helen Reddy song, “I am Woman, Hear Me Roar.” I am surely dating myself. I was popular in 1975 (I was just a barely a WOMAN).

Check out a few of the lyrics and sing if you wish:

I am woman, hear me roar in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back an’ pretend, ‘Cause I’ve heard it all before, and I’ve been down there on the floor. No one’s ever gonna keep me down again. Oh yes, I am wise, but it’s wisdom born of pain. Yes, I’ve paid the price, but look how much I gained. If I have to,I can do anything. I am strong (strong)I am invincible (invincible)I am woman

Here’s the deal: I have no idea if Helen Reddy knew Jesus but one thing I do know—her words were born out of a heart God created. Whether she used her gifts to glorify Him or not, HE ALONE made her woman. He alone gave made her a strong, invincible woman!

 3 Facts about UnStuck Perfection!

1) We are ALL called to special assignments. Find yours!

It is he who saved us and chose us for his holy work not because we deserved it but because that was his plan long before the world began—to show his love and kindness to us through Christ. – 2 Timothy 1:9TLB

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10 NIV

2) God calls the Unqualified! Move into your calling, just like you are!!

Samuel was told this about our own David, the writer of Psalm 139 –

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” – 1 Samuel 16:6-7 NIV

3) There is no better time than right NOW! In the middle of your imperfection! Embrace Your Place!!

If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. – Ecclesiastes 11:4 TLB

Do you remember Moses? He had a speech problem.

Paul? He never fully recovered from losing his sight on the Damascus Road.

Peter constantly struggled with having his foot in his mouth.

The Samaritan woman was defined by her litany of lovers.

Mary was fussed at by her sister for not “helping” her.

Samson and David had weaknesses with women.

Jeremiah was depressed and Job had some downers for friends.

Do you see a pattern here?

These were all people who had weaknesses but God used them all – through their weaknesses.

Moses led God’s people out of Egypt;

Paul reached myriads of Gentiles;

Peter’s tenacity with the Jews led to thousands being converted;

the Samaritan woman led her town to the Savior;

Mary was told she chose the “better portion”;

and Samson and David were great men of God!

Jeremiah was used to tell a wayward people of God’s broken heart over their sin and Job heard directly from God of how He has ALL things under His control.

In EACH of these cases, the individual realized their inadequacies of achieving what God wanted of them. Each person was keenly aware of their need of the true freedom only God could give. And each person had to receive that freedom before they could be fully used by the Lord and give away anything in return.

So, cease striving to do it yourself. Cease striving to give away what you don’t have. Cease striving altogether!

Know that He is God and freedom and Life UnStuck is available to you as you surrender…sweet surrender. It is there you are made whole; it is there you are made strong; it is there you receive your freedom; it is there that you can declare health and wholeness over your emotions and give away that same hope and freedom to others.

 You are Woman – ROAR, Girl! Live in UnStuck Imperfection!

  1. Pat,

    I really needed this today. Thank you so much for the reminder that we do not have to have it all together to begin our work for God’s kingdom. I am really hoping that God shows me what my purpose is so I can fulfill it in the midst of this season of my life with little ones.

    Thank you!

    1. My oh my Laura–can you just imagine what amount of NOTHING could be done without God’s grace?! I am so thankful that HE qualifies the Unqualified as we step into His leading!!
      I encourage you to keep your search SIMPLE–
      What do you love?
      What makes your heart sing?
      What keeps you up at night?
      What causes bring you to tears?
      RIGHT THERE is your purpose.
      I think we tend to romanticize how God shows us His leading. I say JOIN something that stirs your heart. He will take it from there!
      xoxo

  2. Oh Precious Pat,
    I feel like I’m sruck in the middle/eye of a very ugly storm. I can see daylight on the other side but I can’t reach it. I’m so ready for the heartache of this chapter to be over and to start on the new chapter God has for me. Each day I seek His face trying to get my feet firmly planted on HIS path for me. I know He has a plan and doesn’t want me to live defeated…but I’m struggling.
    Love you my sweet friend.
    Paula Kaye

    1. Oh sweet Paula–your journey has been a long and difficult one. I know you are hanging on to Gods’ WORD and staying in Faith–with your words; your thoughts; your responses…He will complete what He has begun–it is a PROMISE!!!!!
      xoxo
