One of my favorite hangouts in D.C. was Haines Point. Anyone who knows anything about Haines Point, is familiar with the huge sculpture of the giant that was located there (it has recently been moved to the National Harbor in Baltimore). It is called "The Awakening", and gives the illusion of a giant rising up out of the ground with his face and portions of his hands, arms, and legs protruded from the ground. I could be dishonest and say that I was a great art enthusiast, and I enjoyed the detail the artist used in its creation, but it wouldn't be the truth. The reality is that it was a great place to hang out and party with my friends. I spent many hours there sitting in "His" hands, and climbing on the different sections of the sculpture. I also would retreat to this spot on numerous occasions when I felt depressed and all alone. Little did I know, that at that point I was having an encounter with a part of my destiny.
Let's fast forward to 2009 (25 years later), as I lay prostrate on the floor of our guestroom. I began to cry out to God in desperation for more of Him. I felt as if I was wasting away, with not much personal direction or fulfillment. I felt empty inside, and knew that I had to have direction in order to obtain the life that I knew God had ordained for me. It is in this moment of pursuit that God flashed the image of the giant in my mind. As I dismissed the image as a distraction from the enemy, I pressed in harder to hear from God. Still again, the image of the giant scrolled across my mind. I had not thought about that "the giant" in years, and in this moment God would not let me shake the picture of him rising out of the ground in an effort to free himself from the bondage of the earth. Then I heard "Awakening", and the Lord began to show me how my purpose was tied to this huge metal construction that I had once used as a place of rebellion, depression, and expression of my independence.
He began to reveal to me my purpose in ministering to women who seemed to be stuck and buried in a place that would keep them from fulfilling purpose and destiny. He shared with me that I would be integral in women "rising" out of deep, dark places into the light of God's love that would empower and equip them to fulfill purpose. After receiving that revelation, I had to first rise up myself and begin a journey that was unfamiliar, and honestly, quite scary.
What I realized in that "Moment of Awakening" was I was asking Him to use me, but I was not taking any steps to position myself for it to happen. My excuses ranged from my dysfunctional upbringing, to my life of destructive relationships, and a myriad of awful decisions I had made throughout the years. God let me know that He was fully aware of my past; however He was more concerned with where He wanted to take me than where I had come from.
So, I had to now implement in my own life, what I had constantly encouraged other women around me to do. "Do it scared!" I must admit, I was intimidated by the whole process of organizing and spearheading a women's conference. However, the Lord had already equipped me to be able to handle the task at hand. The truth of the matter is……The Lord has pulled me up and out in order for me to be used by HIM to pull others up and out.
