How that hit me. And hard.
In her latest book which I want to get a hold of -- she, with rigorous honesty, tells her story.
"...her testimony might bring tears to your eyes while also forcing you to question the depth and resolve of your own faith and relationship with the Lord. At the same time, she offers neither an excuse nor appeal for pity on her behalf. Iyanla in her book, tells the truth about the moments of her life leading up until now, from the death of her mother, being raped by her uncle and the pathologies set in motion by both."

Inspiration. It can come from anywhere. At a time when i was down in the dumps, chewing the fruit of ingratitude and resentment, seeing only a life of scarcity --- i catch Oprah interviewing Iyanla.
Hosea 10:12-13 NIV
"Sow righteousness for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness on you.
But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,
you have eaten the fruit of deception.
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors."
Got that.
From prayer to prayer...
