Overcoming is Coming Over the Challenge

In one of my books, I talk about my grandmother embracing gratitude as a model for me.

At the age of twenty-five, she was in a fire and went through unspeakable pain, and years of recovery. The burns were so extensive that her children were told that she was deceased. She did recover, however, and she was 95 years of age when I gave her eulogy. Her service followed soon after that weekend when the heavens opened and poured out my ancestors’ energy – including two of my deceased aunts. It was as if she unlocked Divine Energy for me. When I gave the tribute, it came out as a eulogy because her Spirit was completely with me. It was then that I realized that ministry was in my future.

I started to speak from a place that was divinely guiding me and directing me to say words that I did not expect to say. When it happened subsequently in a spiritual class, it shocked my classmates and me! I then learned to surrender to the Presence, and it has been my Guide.

My grandmother did not let her circumstances keep her down. She had many disappointments, but she never abandoned her faith. Coming over the situation is available to us because our Spirit is far greater than our circumstance.

Namaste’
