+ Let go of WHO you are to become WHAT God called you to be... +

Meet me in the club...It's goin' down!...lol...If you listen to any kind of urban music station, you probably know the rest of the words to that song...

I'm laughin' but it's time to get serious...

Some years ago, you would have found me up in the club, shakin' everything I could. I was the one in the middle of the floor, pressing myself up against some guy. I loved to dance. I really loved the attention I got when I was dancin' in a smoke-filled, crowded room. If you saw me dancin', you would have probably said that I was nasty...lol...My dancin' was exactly that...sometimes too nasty for some regular night club. You'd think I was ready to get dollar bills thrown at me. Two, sometimes three times a week, I'd be there...in the club, gettin' down.

Of course, you wouldn't find me dead in a night club now. The last time I stepped inside one was about 6 years ago. I still remember the last time I went and who was with me. After that night, I just decided not to go back. That was even before anything about ministry was revealed to me.

"Sometimes we have to let go of who we are in order to become the person we were meant to be."...I saw that in someone's profile today while browsing Myspace and it is so very true.

I could still go to the club and do a lot of the stuff I used to do. I sure could. God gave me FREE WILL and He allows me to make my own decisions. However, I KNOW that I can't fully serve God while bouncing my behind against a bunch of guys in the club. Now, it is true that God can use ANYone to speak life into someone else and bestow blessings unto people. I want to be the difference. I don't want to just be ANYone. I want to be THE one.

I want to live and serve God and the people connected to my life to the BEST of my ability. To do so I had to let go of WHO I was to be WHAT God has called me to be.

You may not go to the club. There may be something else in your life holding you back from fully serving God. LET IT GO. God is waiting on you. People are waiting on you.

Love HIM.

Bless HIM.
