Let your fabulosity out girl.

Genesis 15:1-11,17-21

          I have never been to a gay bar. It might have been interesting but when I came out at at age of 50, the desire for quick pickups and random sex didn't seem that interesting to me. And of course, I really am not a big drinker. Don't get me wrong, I like a nice drink once in a while and I love sex but I was never into random, meaningless sex. Like a friend says, there is casual sex but no sex is really casual.  Still, I can picture the scene, I have seen movies, where there are the hottest of guys and the normal every day Joe's. The A list hunks rarely mix with the B list guys. I would ask why?  What really is occurring is the idea that someone is not worthy. That holds us back from a lot of really good things.

           I talk about how much God loves us but there has to be a switch in your head (and heart) that goes off and says "I am worthy" of such love.  How many times do we think we couldn't do something or couldn't date someone because deep inside we are saying we aren't worthy enough. If you accept how truly beautiful and worthy you are inside, great things will happen. Let your fabulosity out!

          In this passage  God tells Abram to look towards the heavens and count the stars. Let God into your life, allow yourself to believe and know how worthy you are and the joys you will experience will be as numerous as the stars in heaven. It all hinges on knowing God loves you and knowing you are worthy of that love. I can't tell you all the things that will happen, all the joys you'll experience, that would make it like predestination. I do know that you will be filled with joy, peace and contentment. That's what God wants for all of us. There are no exclusions. 

           Accept your fabulosity, let it out, let yourself be loved by God and others and don't forget to love yourself!

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’ But Abram said, ‘O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?’ And Abram said, ‘You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.’ But the word of the Lord came to him, ‘This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.’ He brought him outside and said, ‘Look towards heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’ And he believed the Lord; and the Lord  reckoned it to him as righteousness.

Then he said to him, ‘I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.’ But he said, ‘O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?’ He said to him, ‘Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.’ He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire-pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.’
