Who Are You?

Do you know who you are? Not what you do but who you are at your core. How would you present yourself to a stranger if you had 30 seconds to introduce yourself?

Just like the woman in the picture we go through life as shadows of ourselves…Never fully realizing who we were purposed to be.

Your Time is NOW! 4

Today, you will recognize how imperative it is to discover

yourself, uncover your purpose, and

re-introduce yourself to your world.

Success…Why Not You?

Think of all of the reasons you tell yourself you

cannot win…

Purpose Principle 1:To begin the journey of self-discovery, we must first understand that we have no purpose

outside of God’s purpose for us.

Romans 8:28 – “And we know that all things work together for good to

them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

A Woman Purposed for Ministry is easily identified BUT NOT by conventional methods.

Let’s take a look at the characteristics of a Purposed Woman as found in Esther, an orphaned exile who became Queen.
