Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy; tried and true
And with thanksgiving I’ll be a living
Sanctuary,
Lord for You

I love this song. It reminds me that God wants me to be set apart for His glory! A sanctuary is a consecrated place. A place set aside for special purposes.

Whenever I sing this song I am reminded of the things I still need to work on and the things that God is perfecting in me. That’s right I said perfecting. God is always preparing you for something more. We always reach the end of one leg of the journey.

I am near the end of one leg of my wonderful journey. I have felt God’s pull for quite sometime with this but I was not sure He was telling me this. However, every time I see or hear of woman suffering through depression, taking meds to stay calm, crying out for different life, or in what I call a “spiritual funk”, I know that God was not stuttering when He told me to do this.

I have a program based on the philosophy of this blog, called Pathways to Authentic Living that launched in March of this year. You can read more about here, but don’t sign up there because you will be charged. All you have to do to be part of the program is visit this blog often and sign up for the mailing list.

The women who are a part of the course enjoy it and yet I kept telling God there are not enough getting the message and power behind Pathways. I think many Christian women are stuck thinking that the program may be founded upon New Age Philosophy, Blab it and Grab It, or The Secret. They could not be further from the truth.

This is sorta how the conversation went over the last 5 months while I struggled with this decision to do what I knew God was calling me to do.

So I said, “Lord what do I do to get women to grab hold to this? Not just Christian women, but women in need a BREAKTHROUGH?”

“Give it away”, I thought I heard.

“Lord, are you for real?”

“Yes!”

“But why Father. I created this program with not only helping other women but to make some money too. I can’t live on air.”

“When have I ever not provided. Give it away.”

“Well, Lord. I need to think about this. I put a lot of time and effort into pulling this program together”

“To whom much is given, much is required. I took you through the process so that you can bless others. And when I gave it, it was a gift. The only thing I required was your undivided attention. Was your life not changed as a result?”

“Well, yeah but…”

“Give it away. Seek first My Kingdom and the rest will be given to you. Too many of my Children are being misinformed about abundant living. Too many are missing important issues when it comes to authentic living. I did create each one uniquely because that is how I love them. I want them to know this.”

“Well, Lord, if you say so. I may not get it all but I will just Give It Away.”

That has been the conversation over the last 5 months and initially it bothered me; but after a while I started getting very excited. I was going to get the opportunity to share this magnificent journey towards true authentic living with others.

Look for the Pathways Program to become a part of the Mom Unplugged blog in a major way. Be sure to join the subscriber list for updates on the podcast I have planned as well. You also want to pay attention to the Paths To Authentic Living category because that is where most of the material will be located for this program.

I suggest you get a good journal, Bible, and some tissue because trust me there will be times when you will cry. Some of the tears will be painful but many will be joyful as a result of the breakthrough you will experience.

I will be starting with the program here on the blog, free of charge, December 1. It will become the core of Mom Unplugged. But you do not have to be a mom to be blessed by the program.

One more thing I want to tell you before I go. I mentioned the song, Lord Prepare Me at the very beginning and the importance of a sanctuary. I see now that by obeying Him and following through that He has been preparing me for it all along. I have a great deal of the content and audio already done. Isn’t God good

I have been set apart with the purpose of helping women step out of the box of mediocrity into a wonderful world of Whole Authentic Living in Christ!
