DAY 24…DANCE OF GRACE

DAY 24 with Teresa Ann:

DANCE OF GRACE

“I’m not good at that, I’m better at what I’ve been doing…” said me when I was encouraged to apply for a position. I mean, it made sense. I wanted to give my best and I knew where I really do well, and to apply for a position that I don’t feel qualified to even apply for, it just made absolute sense…until that moment…
It was the reminder of my seemingly innocent statement that only revealed self preservation. Here it was, an opportunity rather to see, “In my weakness, HIS strength is made perfect.” Of course I so badly want HIS STRENGTH to be made perfect, who doesn’t, right? Yet for me this seems like such a dangerous prayer. It destroys the flesh, it pulverizes the people pleasing and approval mindset…you know that fear of, “I don’t want to fail anyone.” It’s that point in which I am so worried about not pleasing people. I, I, I…I want to look my best so I don’t fall prey to potential ridicule or criticism. It’s such a lacking perspective, isn’t it?
AWAKENING:
Well, for the rest of that day and into the next morning, that moment kept coming back to me. So it was as though I felt the LORD sitting me down and I was led to repent and renounce that confession of, “I’m not good at that, I’m better at what I’ve been doing…”
You may be asking, “Teresa, you’re just being honest, what’s wrong with that?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Here’s the “why”: I was reminded that this is not what a follower of Christ says, because they can’t say it. They’re following JESUS and there’s too long of a history of how HE’s always been faithful to reveal HIS strength in the midst of my weakness over and over again.
It was that moment in which I was made aware that I get to say, “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.” That scripture is not a cute cliche; it’s a powerful declaration of the abundant life we get to live in Christ. It’s no longer making excuses to my humanity but leaning into GOD’s divine power! It’s not denying Christ and HIS power even in that.
In this prompting, it was as though I heard Holy Spirit’s words go something like this, “Teresa, you’re right, you can’t do that, but that’s the point…when you can’t do it, and you’re given the opportunity to step into it, it’s really ME inviting you to dance with ME. That’s where MY GRACE is seen; the GLORY OF GOD is seen in the moments where you can’t in your own ability.”
CONCLUSION:
That is where the stretching takes place for the purpose of growing in stature in Holy Spirit just as Jesus did within the earth. GOD gets the glory; HIS glory isn’t seen when I am comfortable but when I am uncomfortable as it causes me to lean into HIS power. It is not by my power or might; but by HIS Spirit. We get to find Comfort in the GREAT COMFORTER in the midst of our discomforts.
I believe I write all this to remind me, “Make every decision from the position of abundance and not lack.”
REFLECTION OF THE WORD WITH HOLY SPIRIT:
II Corinthians 12:9; Philippians 4:13; II Timothy 3; John 9:1-12; Zechariah 4:6; Luke 2:52; John 14:26
LET’S TALK:
Are there things you have been given the opportunity to step into, but said, “No” because you couldn’t do it in your own strength?
Write those moments in your journal and simply ask GOD to forgive you. He loves to forgive; to give you more of HIMSELF.
Do you see the “invites” to do something you can’t do in your own strength as now an invitation to HIS dance of grace? How do you see GOD now in those situations?
To love people that are unloveable; to forgive those who are unforgiveable can only be done in HIM. Let’s lean into GOD’s power and let HIS divine nature be seen in the midst of our humanity.

I received a beautiful message this morning in my I received a beautiful message this morning  in my Direct Messages and wanted to share it with each of you. I’m also thankful for @dleechamp ‘s permission to share!

@dleechamp read a devotional from “5-Minute Devotions For Mom” this morning and then followed the prompting at the end, which is what you see here. 
•
•
•
She lists 5 things that causes her to be in awe of God; it was simple and yet eternally profound! 
•
•
•
The title of this particular devotional was, “The Exception To The Rule”

Have you read some of the devotionals in this book? I pray it pointed you to our amazing God!
These beauties! Amazing mamas who do all the thing These beauties! Amazing mamas who do all the things!

•
These women are sisters and daughters to one of my dearest friends, my “Lucy JJ”!!! We get in a lot of “good” trouble together! Haahaa! 
•
•
•
What I love about this pic is these two ladies are evidence of my friend Jodie’s love for God and how she and her husband intentionally invited God into their moments while raising their 5 children up in the Lord! 
•
•
•
When she sent me this pic, it was so awesome to remember these beautiful mamas as teens...wow and now they’re married and have their own families! 
•
•
•
How time flies and isn’t it appropriate that inviting God in our first “5 Minutes” changes the awareness of our days? 
•
•
•
These two are evidence how we have our children for a short time. We don’t just have them to raise them up to be successful, but to go after God with their everything; with awe and rare adventure and in that they not only see success, but as our friend would say, “In Christ they go from success to knowing their significance” within the earth with the days they get to steward.

I have had fun getting to grow in so many various ways and just doing the things as a child, not caring if people liked what I was doing or not; “Let’s Talk with Teresa Ann” has been a safe place for me to express my love for God from writing, drawing, painting, and recording videos. It’s been a place where worshipful creativity stirred and each of you allowed me to be raw and do what I love with such cheering support! Of course I will still be doing all the things, but in a more intimate way and every now and then I may get to share. It’s definitely not a goodbye but a see you later...let’s talk soon!
