Love, Laughter, and EVERYTHING in Between: Day 28-Your Purpose

My sister and friend LaToya Perry posted this on FB and I wanted to share it with you.  Be encouraged!

"With all the things going on in the world it makes my heart heavy. It would appear that daily as a people we are losing our love and simple kindness for one another. I can only imagine what the Lord sees and how His heart must break as He watches His children make choices that will lead to their destruction. All the while, we have disregarded the gentle nudges and some times the outright bricks of correction that has been thrown at us. We are caught up in the show.

What is the show? The show is what the enemy uses to distract us from our mission. He uses any and everything. The magicians are great at this tactic. They call it slight of hand. While performing their magic trick, they keep your eyes occupied on something insignificant meanwhile, the thing you should be focused on is being done right in front of your eyes and you don't see it. We get occupied and caught up doing and being all that GOD has NOT called us to do. We get frustrated and burned out by living and doing what we THINK or WANT our purpose to be. Sometimes it's clear but often times it's not. We HAVE no clue what all the Lord has put in us. We've failed to go to The Maker and inquire into what should our usage be. We allow "the show" to dictate our usage. If you allow the show to dictate your actions, you will find yourself at the end of the year declaring that in the Next year, your dropping all your insecurities, fake friends, dead beats, negativity and so on. Not realIzing, that those very same things and people will be with you in the next year because you will make the same decisions because you don't know why you're here and secondly because maybe some of those fake friends were meant to build you into a better you.



I'm encouraging you as well as myself to spend these last days of 2014, seeking God for direction. "The show " will keep you frustrated and always looking for the next. God's purpose and mission will keep you fulfilled and inspired. Yes, the show will always try to get your attention but if you stay on mission you will easily be able to discern what and who is not for you.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, that should be your first order of business. How can you know what God has for you if you don't know Him. Next, commit to seeking Him and finding out what HE would have you to do and not what you think or feel you should be doing.

I wish you all the joy you can contain in this coming year. I pray that you would be a solution to this world's problems and not a participant in its downfall. I pray that you would forgive other's quickly and remember that you are not perfect and do not walk on water. We are going to disappoint and hurt one another, we are human. However, choose to extend grace and love instead of hatefulness and vengeance."

Simply Shay: "Sherri Shepherd, Sal & SGM"

On Saturday, August 13, 2011 Sherri Shepherd (44) married her fiancé, TV writer Lamar "Sal" Sally, at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago.  Wearing a custom designed Rivini gown, the bride was nothing short of stunning.  Their ceremony was classy and beautiful with just the right twist of "Sherri" to add some fun. "What happens when you are in your wedding dress and you have to tinkle? Uh-oh!" ~ (Sherri's tweet just minutes before the ceremony was to begin)

Sherri was walked down the aisle by her six year old son Jeffrey and her bridesmaids included her co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Niecy Nash, Kym Whitley, Yvette Nicole Brown, Cynthia Occelli and Wendy Peel.  The groomsmen were just "NICE".. lol

BTW - for those asking about that dance routine?  You'll have to wait to see exactly how that was pulled off but it wasn't like the practice run.

The nuptials were filmed for a one hour special on The Style Network Wedding Fabulous: Sherri Shepherd Gets Married, on September 13, 2011, therefore many of the highlights I am not released to discuss.  However, Shekinah Glory Ministries and Phil Tarver performed "How Deeply I Need You" immediately following "the kiss" and many of her guests stated "having Jesus at her wedding was the special final touch".
