Shayla's Message, "God's Not Done": https://youtu.be/M8z00iTtL7o
First up, let's talk more about your experience with the idea that, "Your Community Will Enable Your Ability."
When we received terrible news, we had people who were a phone call away.
As a leader it is especially hard to find community because you are leading people.
-How have you been able to create community when you are in ministry and leadership?
Different people for different things!
Evaluate people you have in your life, they don't have to be your EVERYTHING, but they can be your something.
Advice I received:
No matter what you will be AUTHENTICALLY you. However, you don't have to be TRANSPARENT in every situation.
If I'm looking to have more fun, I'm looking to hang out with people who enjoy life.
If there are leadership qualities that inspire me, I'm drawn to people that have those qualities.
How to Stand Back Up:
Community makes such a big difference in the seasons of struggle. People to challenge me to get back up. People to push me to no longer be a victim.
Counseling
Personal Relationship with God.
-Journaling, processing
Share Your Story
-Don't be ashamed or afraid to keep you from telling your testimony.
-Realize that your story helps other people!
"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death." Revelation 12:11
Are you sharing for sympathy/attention or to help impact other people - for the benefit of others to find hope and freedom. To bring GOD GLORY and help other people have victory!
Allow God to continue the healing process in you! Continue being restored.
