Today is the day that the Lord has made- I will rejoice and be glad in it. Y’all 😭 when I say I am overflowing right now with joy I mean it. I ran from God for such a long time. I kept him out of certain areas in my life because I felt dirty and ashamed. I couldn’t understand why he was still pursuing me after he knew my thoughts and my actions.
This summer I couldn’t understand for the life of me why he wanted me to sit down when I wanted to be outsideee. Why he called me to fast for 40 plus days. Why he called me away from alcohol for 90 days- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. I felt so hidden and so isolated- but He knew. He knew I would be sitting on my floor in tears on Thanksgiving in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
God had me set apart because He knew what He was going to birth in me- y’all I have put everything I could into this! I’ve been so scared of speaking my testimony because y’all “know” me. Y’all know how much I’ve partied, the people I’ve dated, the things I’ve done and I let the shame and mental condemnation try to silence my voice. NOT ANOTHER DAY LONGER will I allow things to come between what I know God has called me to. I will boldly walk into what God has for me. And thats on period.
Pastor Mike said this will be your best year ever if it’s your best year spiritually. 2021 will forever be etched in my heart. The first time I heard God’s voice and stepped out in obedience. I’m not gone flex- I’ve doubted. I’ve been scared. I’ve asked God to use someone else. BUT GOD!!!! The Glory belongs to Him and NO ONE ELSE!!!!
I pray that the Holy Spirit prompts every single person who needs to see this message to see it. I’m not special- I just decided NO MATTER WHAT ima ride for God until he’s ready to call me on home to glory.
God- you are a man of your word and if you’ve said it. I believe it. I am THEPAIGEPATTON. Your daughter. I am who YOU say I am! Amen.
Chantrel, my best friend!! This drop could not have happened without her. From the graphics to the mastermind to the details- Thank you bestfriend!! She thinks I was the one who got her into TC with an Easter service?! That was God's set up to launch us into purpose. I heard you don't go as far as your dream- you go as far as your team. BAYBEEEEEE there could be no The Paige Patton without Chantrel. She prompted me to fast, she let me borrow some of her faith when I thought lack was God's will for my life. She picked me up when I thought I wasn't going to make it to another day. Literally she spoke this over us, "The tests keep being followed by blessings!"
Thank you Jesus!! Thank you Holy Spirit, Thank you to book club- yall already SHKNOW what it is. Thank you to every single person I dm'd and texted about posting for me. Thank you to my belong groups and the TC family I have connected with in Tulsa and beyond. Thank you Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts and all of the Woman Evolve team- every person I spoke to helped this happen. Something broke off of my mind at Woman Evolve 21-- sis you HAVE TO TAP IN! Thank you to Pastor Lemons, my youth pastor that prayed for me and spoke life over me, Youthblaze, MTZBC Fam (KJ I miss you- this is for you!!), UNC Fam, every single person connected to me!
