Aged out of the foster care system at the age of eighteen, Shawneda Marks was ready for post secondary education but failing at working through the hard emotional lessons of her childhood. Only after rededicating herself to Christ did she find the courage and ability to trust and love again. Her ten year road to recovery resulted in the Diamond Butterfly mentoring ministry. This devotional is a road map to deliverance from the emotional trauma of rape, neglect and abuse at the hands of those you trusted through intimacy with Christ.
Coming 2012 Diamond Butterfly: Wings of Purpose, Karats of Destiny
A leopard can't change their spot. A zebra isn't able to erase it's stripes. A butterfly doesn't get to change it's wings. Not even the pitfalls, mishaps, abuses, failures, disappointments, trials or tribulations of life are able to alter, erase or God's purpose for you. We are able to live the life God had in mind when he fashioned us when we discover and embrace our purpose.
Decisions, dedication and determination impact each person's destiny. It's not something that happens to you without your input or effort. Each moment, each thought, each action decides where we will be eight minutes, eight months and eight years from today. Because that is true we can decide to change direction at any moment. Destiny is the journey along the path of our life's decisions. God assigns the purpose for our lives. Our reactions, decisions and daily habits determine how we fulfill it.
