Cinderella

"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good..."1
If anyone or anything is against you, 
God will turn it around. He will give you
dominion over much.
 
That's a loaded verse isn't it?

It's usually a reference to negative events that happened (or didn't happen) in our lives, that God ends up turning in our favor. It's a hopeful verse. I like it.

Just like I still like watching one of my favorite fictional stories, the fairy tale of Cinderella. The story centers around Cinderella and her jealous, wicked stepmother and stepsisters. It is the story of a girl who was loved by her father who passes away and is left by the very people who were supposed to love her, but hated her immensely.

Isn't there a real story of a man named Joseph2 in the bible who was also hated by those who were supposed to love him?  

But what was meant for evil, God means for good.

If bad and negative things have come your way I am here to tell you God will turn all of it around for good and His glory. I'm a witness. Nothing can stop what He has planned for us.

God is in control. It doesn't matter what haters come for you, He will turn it around to work in your favor. Even fairy tales had haters.Throughout the Cinderella story she was put through hell, but like Joseph, she maintained an auspicious, hopeful, and bright outlook. It was as though she knew she was going to eventually win, which she did. Although there were many girls, including her ugly wicked stepsisters, who wanted to marry the handsome wealthy prince, he chose Cinderella to be his wife.

She won.

I know Cinderella is a fictional story, but it is a hopeful tale of a girl who started on the bottom and ended up on top. Stories like that inspire me, because she never gave up. Some of her life was extremely difficult, but she fought throughout and ended up winning. It's a story many of us want for ourselves regarding different things the Lord has promised us. We have gone through enough and it's our time to have more.

I know what the Lord wants for me and I'm going to fight in His name to get what's mine. It's coming.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
