SINCE ALL OF THIS COVID-19 HAS BEEN GOING ON, WE HAVE BEEN CLEANING OUT SOME. WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH TRASH, AND THEM I HAVE FOUND SOME TREASURES ALSO, STUFF I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT. I HAVE A HUGE COLLECTION OF BOOKS, LOTS OF DEVOTIONAL BOOKS, JOURNALS, GREAT READS AND FINDS, USUALLY MY MOTHER AND I SWAP THEM BACK AND FORTH. I AM DOING A NEW STUDY, AND I WILL BEGIN SHARING MY THOUGHTS AND NOTES SOON.

I DID COME ACROSS A NOTEBOOK THAT I HAD WRITTEN SOME THINGS IN. I ATTENDED A LADIE'S MEETING A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS ON BEING ''ONE OF A KIND'' . I STARTED GOING THROUGH THESE NOTES AND THE LORD BLESSED ME ONCE AGAIN, AND SHOWED ME SOME THINGS I NEEDED TO BE REMINDED OF..
THIS LADIE'S MEETING WAS SO MUCH NEEDED. I NEEDED TO BE REMINDED THAT I AM ONE OF A KIND AND MY LORD IS ONE OF A KIND.DURING THIS PARTICULAR TIME, I HAD RECENTLY WENT THROUGH ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS AS A YOUNG WIFE THAT I COULD EVER IMAGINE. I FELT SO LONELY AND HAD REALLY BAD THOUGHTS, AND SOME REALLY BAD FEELINGS TOWARD SOMEONE. THIS WAS A TIME OF UNCERTAINTY, AND A LOT OF REGRET. I FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN BETRAYED AND LET DOWN, AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE I HADGIVEN MY ALL TO THIS SWEET PERSON, TRIED TO HELP THEM, BE THERE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY, AND HELPED THEM WITH A BIG ADJUSTMENT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH. THE LORD USED THIS MEETING TO SHOW ME THAT I AM ONE OF A KIND, AND THE ONLY PERSON I NEED TO PLEASE IS GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!! THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!! I LEARNED THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BE SOMEONE ELSE, OR TRY TO BE SOMEONE ELSE JUST TO GET THEIR APPROVAL, OR FOR THEM TO LOVE ME!! I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT TRUST AND I ALSO LEARNED FROM SOME MISTAKES I HAD MADE.IT WAS A TRUE TIME OF LEARNING, BUT MAINLY ME LEARNING TO LEAN ON THE LORD, LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
I WANT TO SHARE SOME OF MY NOTES FROM THE MEETING BECAUSE JUST GOING THROUGH THEM TODAY, I GOT SO MANY BLESSINGS, AND REMINDERS.
* I AM ONE OF A KIND, AND I SERVE A ONE OF A KIND GOD!
*HE MADE ME ONE OF A KIND, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LIKE ME!WE ARE ALL UNIQUE IN OUR OWN WAY, SO WE DON'T NEED TO COMPARE OURSELVES TO OTHERS, OR TRY TO COMPETE WITH ANY ONE ELSE.THINK ABOUT HOW BORING LIFE WOULD BE IF EVERYONE WAS THE SAME... SAME LOOKS, PERSONALITY, THOUGHTS, ACTIONS... NO... NOT!!!
*GOD MADE YOU ONE OF A KIND FOR THAT SPECIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE, HE PICKED YOU TO MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES TOGETHER, AND THAT IS THROUGH EVERYTHING... SICKNESS, HEALTHY TIMES, NO MONEY, FAMILY PROBLEMS, ETC!!!
*BE ONE OF A KIND TO YOUR FAMILY. BE SOMEONE THEY KNOW THEY CAN TRUST. BE SOMEONE THEY CAN ASK TO FERVENTLY PRAY FOR THEM. BE SOMEONE WHEN THE CRISIS COMES, THEY KNOW YOU WILL BE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL, SUPPORTING THEM!!!BE COMPASSIONATE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING A LOT THESE DAYS.. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW YOU CARE ABOUT THEM.
* BE WILLING TO LET GOD USE YOU TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS. USE WHAT TALENT HE GAVE YOU FOR HIM. IT COULD BE SOMETHING SO SMALL, BE HE CAN TAKE IT AND USE IT FOR HIS HONOR AND GLORY!LET GOD MAKE YOU A TROPHY FOR HIS HONOR AND GLORY!
*WHEN I WENT TO THIS MEETING, I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A LOVED ONE. THIS WAS MAKING ME BITTER, I REALLY FELT MISERABLE THE FIRST FEW HOURS I WAS THERE. I WANTED TO GO HOME, CRAWL IN BED, COVER MY HEAD, AND JUST CRY IT OUT.. AND SOMETIMES, THAT IS GOOD... BUT I WAS BITTER.... AND MISERABLE. I WANTED TO BE BETTER.. AND I KNEW THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNLESS I LET THE LORD DEAL WITH ME I WAS SO UPSET WITH PERSON, BUT I NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IN MY HEART.... AND HE DID. I ASKED THE LORD FOR FORGIVENESS, FOR HIM TO FORGIVE ME OF BEING SO SELFISH, JEALOUS, I HAD ENVY..AND THEN I ASKED THIS PERSON TO FORGIVE ME. THEY SAID THEY DID, BUT GOD FORGAVE ME, AND I KNOW HE DID. WHY? BECAUSE HE KNEW I AM ONE OF A KIND, AND THAT HE WANTED TO USE ME IN A FEW OTHER AREAS, BUT HE COULD NOT USE ME WITH THE WAY I WAS!!!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! SINCE THEN,I HAVE BECOME A BETTER PERSON, AND NO, I AM NOT MRS. PERFECT, NOR DO I CLAIM TO BE, BUT I AM A BETTER PERSON, AND I YIELDED MY THOUGHTS, AND IMPERFECTIONS TO HIM THAT DAY, AND HE IS USING ME AND MY HUSBAND FOR HIS GLORY. I LOVE THAT SONG,''HE'S STILL WORKING ON ME!'' CAUSE HE REALLY IS!

Ephesians 2:7 King James Version (KJV)

⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

LASTLY, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WE ARE CREATED BY SOMEONE WHO IS ONE OF A KIND. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LIKE JESUS, NO ONE CAN EVER CARE FOR YOU LIKE JESUS. HE KNOWS ALL THINGS, AND STILL CHOOSES TO LOVE US!AND NOW, BEING EASTER SEASON, HE HAD A ONE OF A KIND DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION! NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS DONE. NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE YOUR BURDENS FROM YOU, NO ONE ELSE CAN ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS IN HIS TIME BUT HIM... I AM GETTING A BLESSING HERE, IF YOU ARE OR NOT.. HE IS ONE OF A KIND! HE IS MARVELOUS!
LET GOD USE YOU FOR HIS GLORY. IT MAY NOT BE THE WAY YOU HAD PLANNED BUT REMEMBER OUR WAYS ARE NOT HIS WAYS!!BE POSITIVE AND PROGRESSIVE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! REMEMBER YOU ARE UNIQUE.. BE THE UNIQUE YOU GOD INTENDED YOU TO BE!!
*NO ONE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY BEING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!
*REMEMBER HE IS STILL WORKING ON YOU. ASK GOD TO HELP YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR HIM!!!
BE YOU.. BE UNIQUE.. BE ONE OF A KIND... FOR HIM!! I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS AS A LIMITED EDITION.... YOU ARE A LIMITED EDITION, BUT THERE IS NO LIMITS WHEN IT COMES TO GOD!! I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS DEAR REMINDER TODAY. I AM THANKFUL HE KNOWS US AND KNOWS OUR WANTS, AND DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS.
