Overcoming My Grasshopper IMAGE

Come discover how one woman’s journey helped her realize that her thoughts were conditioned by some cultural, personal and environmental experiences that engendered a flawed image.  This damage sense of self would not allow her to embrace new opportunities causing years of stagnation within her personal and professional life.  In the Bible, the children of Israel had not learned how to see themselves through God’s eyes; therefore, they did not see his promises fulfilled in their own lives. The majority saw themselves as grasshoppers, and it caused them to miss out on the land that was promised to them.  “We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). How we see ourselves is more important than how others see us.  You must look within yourself to discover  your true identity.

  I have had the priviledge of knowing Auanita for over thirty years and watch her mature from school girl to a mother, wife, community and ministry leader into now an author.  Her journey constisted of being raised by a single mother, teen mom endeavoring to raise her children on a small income and living through a marriage that ended in divorce.  With great courage Auanita provides encouragement.  If she can overcome and be successful you can be also.  

 

I encourage you to read " Overcoming My Grasshopper Image" as many times as neccessary.  Let it build your faith, solidify your determination and eliminate any fear you may have.  Your life will never be the same.
