No Title Required

Learned Things

I understand now. All the degrees. All the titles that could have been given to me by man didn't amount to anything. You gave me your name, you gave me authority, you gave gifts and calling. You made me chosen. I wondered why my mother bulked at titles. I've had an ickiness when it comes to titles. I've often said that I put my clothes on the same as everyone else. It's not about the title.  It's about the name of Jesus.  That's why people that don't know me assume certain things vs. my true friends who do. Your word says that your gifts will make room for themselves. That you will make it happen. I am seeing that. I sing, speak, and write for an audience of one. My savior. Amen.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes he calms the storm. Other times he calms his child.  Sure I have lots of book knowledge and education and wallpaper as my sister put it, however. It doesn't mean anything. I am that quiet woman in ministry who wears tennis shoes with her dress on Sunday.  A t shirt and skirt sometimes. Doesn't wear makeup.  Feels beautiful in her own skin. Does dress up because I know what it is like to be the person going to church without the dress clothes and being criticized  because I didn't look the part. I know that God sees the heart.
