I'm Pregnant (again)...At this age

Yep, you read it right. I’m fifty (something) and I’m pregnant. I didn’t know that I could still conceive at this age. I feel like Sarah. For when I heard the angel of the Lord tell me recently that I would give birth again, now, at this age, like Sarah, I laughed. While I can still physically do it, with a fully working womb and all (that might be TMI), I didn’t know it was still in me. 

I didn’t know that I still had “babies” yet to be birthed through me. I thought..”surely I have delivered everything that I was to deliver in this lifetime.  

After all, I’ve birthed three (3) great, beautifully, talented and kind kids; I’ve birthed a #1 best selling book; I've birthed award winning conferences and events; I've birthed a successful, inspiring radio show; I've birthed numerous TV and music projects; I singlehandedly founded a Leadership Academy for Boys - graduating many; I’ve written briefs that have gone all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States; my writings are housed in the Library of Congress for eternity; I’ve spent countless years as a midwife, coaching people through their most difficult life challenges and tests; I’ve saved homes and marriages; and I even saved the life of a man headed to commit suicide, so surely I must have delivered all that I was to deliver this ‘go-round’.  

But God said…there’s more, so much more He has for me to birth, to deliver, to release.  

Looking back, none of those things I’ve done, did I necessarily feel “qualified” to do, in the natural sense, at least. But I considered not my qualifications. I did the stuff anyway, fully persuaded that ‘Where He guides, He provides’. I figured, if God called me, if He thought enough of me to put me on these amazing assignments that I’ve been on, surely He must know what He’s doing.  

So, by Faith, I went ahead and did them and by Faith I shall continue on.

Because, I heard the Lord say..”while you’ve done good so far daughter, The Best is Yet to Come!”

P.S. I realize now, that my messaging is not for everyone. It’s custom made, tailored specifically for the unique people who are assigned to me. Its for those who have ears to hear and hearts to receive truth. If you don’t “get it” or “get me”, you probably are not supposed to. You may not be my assignment. But for those who are…ready or not, here it comes.
