Ms. Monique Purcell going hard in the paint for Jesus
Between Colossians 3 and Malachi 6, this morning's Devotional really helped me to gain some new perspective on my new life (interesting that that's the first phrase that came to mind given where my head is right now) here overseas. I have been worrying a lot about money lately, and in the past 24 hours God has made some major moves to help ease the worry I had inside. Far too often, I am ready and willing to meditate on God's love, on his forgiveness, but frequently forget about His sovereignty. Him being Lord of my life means just that, that everything within the scope of my senses belongs to Him. It's like 1 John 4:18 says:
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
Fear has no place in my heart anymore. Whether its fear related to this Master's thesis, to my career as an artist, or to my finances. My life is not my own. It's time to focus on showing the people around me Christ's indomitable love, rather than exerting time and energy looking frantically for ways to store up treasure on Earth. Got to remember the source. I'm definitely still on the grind, but am now doing so with God's guidance. I'm driven by purpose, not by fame.Not by fear, but by love.
The clip above is featuring an artist that will, if all goes according to plan, be featured in my PhD dissertation. Her name is Monique Purcell, and her voice is out of this world. The sister's anointing is clear, and I sincerely hope that this clip blesses ya'll the way it blessed me yesterday and this morning.

The Lord did not give you a spirit of fear. In matthew 6, he tells us not to worry about anything. If he can provide for the birds, surely he can provide for us. I'm going through a bit of financial trouble as well, but I find solace in the fact that I serve a God who is ABLE! If he has come through once, he WILL come through again. For now, see with his eyes. Wait on God and everything will turn out the way it's meant to

Ms. Purcell has ministered at my church and her spirit is FEARLESS. She is without pretense or expectation, she is a servant and a woman with a testimony. Even passing her in the hallway of a church she offers a blessing because her spirit is so light. I hope that you get to interview her.
