Dancing Into God's Calling Carolyn Mack

Challenges, confusion, heartbreaks, broken promises, lies, freedom, misunderstood, bad choices, I've been there. We've all been there. Many of us haven't let the cat out of the bag because of fear of what others would say or think. The judgment was real, whether intentional or unintentional. If this is the fear you are holding on to, I am here to let you know, you are not alone and don't have to be alone. Ever tried to talk about things and still felt misunderstood? You felt as if the fingers were solely being pointed at you? You were taken as too sensitive, or too spoiled. You felt as if you were speaking to a dead horse no matter what. It causes you to shut down. It causes you to place yourself in a silent zone and say, "forget it." Therefore, you develop this wall. You find ways to place a smile on the outside while crying on the inside. Crying on the outside becomes embarrassing. You see I went through life scared to open up, scared to speak up about certain situations from fear of judgment or fear of what others would say. The judgment stemmed from people "not knowing" me as much as they thought. They failed to realize everything that I've experienced, led to why I acted the way I did. But how would they know when I was silent about every issue, every hurt. You're probably wondering, why I was silent? Well, I was raised to be a strong, independent, young, Christian, woman. If things were not going the way I desired, fix them. When things seemed to fall downward, pick yourself up and fix them. I was raised to accept the consequences. I was raised to have high expectations for myself. Not wanting to let my parents down, I fought to fulfill that expectation any way possible. I was also raised to keep people out of your business. Yes, somewhat true, but not true to the point where you hold everything inside. It is imperative to have trusted friends in today's society. I'm grateful for the trusted friends I have. I write this book to you in hopes that I will inspire, motivate, and encourage you to keep pushing towards God's plan for you and only you despite what others think of you. Sure! We made bad decisions in life that were not necessarily the best choice, we accepted the consequences for our actions. It can take us into a direction of darkness, leaving us yearning for a way out. If we are not careful, we could end up in the wrong crowd. If we are not careful, we could end up in bad relationship with men who do not value us as the queen God created. Nevertheless, always remember your past does not define your future. Nothing is impossible to achieve. God never said the road would be easy and He didn't bring you this far to turn His back on you. In fact, God never turns His back on you. He is always there through every obstacle you face. God will give you a way out, but He is waiting for you to listen closely and depend on Him wholeheartedly. I pray, I declare and decree in faith with God that as you read my story, it will place many of you in the mindset of surrendering your past and KNOWING that you can do ALL THINGS through Christ that strengthens you. You can Dance into God's Calling the way I did. I prophesy to you, in the Name of Jesus, this book will bring you to fight for your dream.
