DAY 9…SHREDDING

Day 9 with Teresa Ann:

SHREDDING

I laugh as I think about Wednesday morning; showing up to my job assignment.  As I met the supervisor, we cordially introduced ourselves and as she looked at me, I noticed her look of confusion. My assumption of her being confused was followed by confirmation as she commented on how “dressed up” I was for the job. I thought to myself, “Really? I thought this was casual.” She proceeded with a laugh coupled with hesitancy, “Well, I hope you don’t mind shredding papers while looking so nice.” What came out of my mouth causes me to laugh even now as I said with surprised excitement, “I love to shred!”

Clearing my throat even in the funny afterthought; “I love to shred?”

There was this determination to be joyful no matter what I was assigned to do. I couldn’t believe my reaction, yet I knew it was the Holy Spirit showing me even in those moments of how my renewed reactions would even echo my response to The Lord.

It wasn’t about acting shocked about how I thought I was too good for it; instead to just be the best with a great attitude while I did it.

There were so many lessons in that moment, I’ll share a few:

  • My value is not in what I do; I just get to bring value to whatever I do.
  • Micah 6:8, “What does the Lord require of me, to love mercy, to do justly and to walk humbly before our God.
  • Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
  • My response to GOD’s goodness in that shredding job, is a testimony to myself in and of itself.

At one point as she handed me the pile of papers, I was in the little office by myself and knew this was my moment with GOD. It was that juncture in which I had been sharing with others, to see our jobs and roles, in whatever it is, as though we were a paid missionary on the mission field.

Even in those moments in that little office, I was getting to pray in the Spirit under my breath and was determined to be the best “shredder feeder” “operator” ever.

Seriously! I had a competition in my head with the shredder itself. I wanted it to where you could never hear the shredder take a break. Ha!

As I think about that first assignment my supervisor gave me, even before it was completed; that was the moment it was as though GOD shred any pride within me in that area of my life. Before I received my next assignment from my supervisor, pride was silenced and humility had to have its place for me to properly partner with GOD.

REFLECTION OF THE WORD WITH HOLY SPIRIT:

Micah 6:8; Colossians 3:22-24; James 4:10; I Peter 5:6

LET’S TALK:

I strongly encourage you to have a journal and write your thoughts down. Make sure you even time and date what you wrote so when you look back, you will be in awe, yet again of our GOD (It’s the principle of Habakkuk 2:2).

When you look back at those things that GOD has shred or wants to shred in your life; how have you seen HIM, yourself, others and even your circumstances differently? Please share!

    This is just so, so good.
    Currently, I have a JOB that for me, is like hell on earth. I cry on the way to work, “God, why have you not opened a new door for me? Please get me out of here!”
    God is so good, and He uses Teresa, who for me, is my spiritual mom, to give me words I need to hear on earth.
    A reminder that my JOB is a mission field. I have been assigned to this position- for His purpose. I am called, equipped and able, through Christ to complete this assignment.

Our response to darkness is to keep shining. Keep doing our part. Keep partnering with God IN CHRIST to do what only He can do through us. 
•
•
•
For example, those who are kind to us - be kind!
Those who are unkind to us - be kind!
This is HOW we reveal Who we say we belong to! This canvas is my reminder to keep SHINING God’s light from within!

•
If we wait for moments to shine- it’ll rarely ever happen!

We capitalize on every moment.
We capitalize in every season 
We capitalize no matter the reason. 
We are being trained by Him to be UNOFFENDABLE by being His Love!

Have you read some of the devotionals in this book? I pray it pointed you to our amazing God!

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!
