Cutting Edge Ministries

11/15/11



About a year and a half ago for the first time in my life I felt as if I had a calling on my life. I can still remember the day like it was yesterday. I woke up and was just doing my normal routine and in my quiet time with the Lord He revealed to me that I am supposed to write and speak. I didn’t exactly know what that meant, but my first reaction was I can write, but I can’t speak. For those of you who have known me for a while know that I wasn’t the type of person who would talk out loud in a group. It always made me really nervous and I couldn’t stand it. I only shared this calling with one other person at first because it seemed so unrealistic to me and I didn’t want people to think I was crazy when I told them.



I started writing blogs, but I just continued to put off the speaking thing because I had no idea what I am was supposed to do with that and I wasn’t going to pursue something I didn’t want to do in the first place. Well, my writing turned into sharing my story on the radio and then on T.V. and at different church functions, youth groups and women’s events.



In talking with my pastor to try to figure out what this is all going to look like, we decided it is pretty much a ministry that the Lord has given me. He is using all of the things from my past to help bring others to Him and provide them with Hope. We came up with the name CUTTING EDGE MINISTRIES, which I think is very fitting. I have spent the past couple of months trying to get a logo together in order to make a business card and a page that tells about the ministry. I finally have a card and I have a friend putting together the page this week. I am hoping to create a Facebook page for the ministry and do a blog on BlogSpot for it. I am just trying to find different ways to promote the ministry and get the word out.



Although I haven’t done anything yet other than the business card, which I haven’t really even given out yet opportunities are coming left and right. Just last week I was asked to speak at an event in October 2012. It is a sanctity of life event and I will be speaking about transformation. A lady from Connecticut contacted this week about possibly going there to speak and there have been other possibilities in the past couple of weeks. It is evident that this is what the Lord wants me to be doing because He is the one opening the doors and all I have to do is obedient and walk through them. It would be my desire that through this ministry I will get to speak to many people and even mentor and encourage some to be able to help them overcome their struggles and know that they are loved and there is hope.



I am in the process of making several more business cards so that I can give everyone some to pass out. When the flyer is done I will have that to give to you too. It doesn’t even have to be for a speaking event… even if you just know someone who is struggling, hurting themself or just needs encouragement I am willing to make time to help.



I ask that you will be in prayer with me for this ministry and that you would help me in getting the word out. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information or cards to give out.

Don't Get Comfortable!

Don’t Get Comfortable!

First, I just have to say that God is so AMAZING!

It seems as if right when we are quite comfortable where we are in our life God decides He is ready for us to move. This is where I believe I am right now. For the most part things have been great in my life lately and I believe the Lord is doing wonderful things in and through me. He has given me this ministry that is still in the works, several opportunities to speak and two of them being this month. He has blessed me with the gift of writing and has given me even more friends in the past couple of months. I thought things were going great and I was right where He wanted me… WRONG!

I had an opportunity to attend a wonderful conference last week and I believe it was designed to be more of an informative, workshop, type of thing, but it was more than that for me. I did learn a lot and with that it has opened my eyes and made me realize that God is ready to take me to the next level. He has revealed that there is more healing to be done inside of me and it is going to be used for His Glory. It is a step that I am not willing to share at this time, but I am sure one day when I have freedom over it, it will be in a blog at some point.

I think sometimes we get so comfortable where we are that when God wants us to move we don’t even realize it. I know that is what happened with me. I felt God bringing this same situation up a couple weeks ago and I kept trying to push it down in hopes that He would leave me alone about it, but He didn’t… God ALWAYS gets His way.

One thing that is neat though is that I know this whole “healing process” is not going to be easy I am very much at ease about it at the same time. I learned a lot this weekend about just how much the Lord cares for me and I do plan on sharing that soon in other blogs. I know that I can trust Him with any situation, even this one and He is going to bring me out better than I went in and I am very thankful for that.

During the conference I was also able to meet some pretty amazing people and it opened even more doors for the ministry that God has given me. It was almost as if it were confirmation that I am where the LORD wants me to be.
