YOU ARE AN AUTHENTIC WORK OF ART, A DESIGNER'S ORIGINAL
(Jer 1:5)
When
we think of a designer, big names such
as Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Prada and Vera Wang comes to mind. The marketing
specialist for these world renown designers spend thousands of dollars developing
a cutting edge pitch that will compel consumers to buy into the idea of owning
a priceless work of art, a designers
original. These fashion moguls incorporate Supply Chain Management (SCM)
companies to mass produce duplicates of their original designs for distribution to international consumers. God however, Our Creator and Master Designer,
breathed His original DNA into us, making each of us an authentic designers
original – eliminating the risk of any manufacturer defects or defaults. What an awesome God!
God took a second look at YOU and
stamped His priceless seal of approval upon your head with a resounding YES!....
this is indeed good. (Gen 1:31)
So you've made your fare share of mistakes along the way....who hasn't! Do yourself a favor and STOP keeping score because you are the only one who is. God
deposited an invaluable treasure on the inside of YOU, Himself!
Refuse to allow anyone/anything to beat you down, count you out or devalue your
existence because of the mistakes that make you perfectly 100% human.Beginning today, hold your head up, arch your shoulders back and walk-tall because the world is waiting to behold all of your greatness.

The BEST is yet to come
Author/Founder of ICH Enterprises,
Certified Accounting Technician with the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants, London and Board member of the PACE Foundation. With all these accolades, who would have
believed that I was once a teen-mother.
It all started some 23 years ago
but I can remember it like it was yesterday. From the moment I met him, he
envisioned everything that I’d dreamed of; that is until I got pregnant. My parents were devastated! I was totally clueless as to how this one decision
would drastically change my life. To add
insult to injury, my indiscretion came
at a time when premature pregnancy was considered taboo (nothing like nowadays). I had to leave school, friends and activities
that had meant so much to me behind.
The *PACE Foundation was the light
at the end of a dark tunnel. They provided an avenue for me to redeem myself
and move forward towards a better and brighter future for me and my unborn
child.

*The PACE Foundation is a non-profit organization
incorporated to support the PACE Programme of the Bahamas Ministry of
Education whose goals are as follows:

To those of you out there who may
find yourself in a similar situation, please note that this is NOT the end. Whoever told you that your life is over - - -
-lied!! God still has an awesome plan for you. The
bible states in 1Corinthians 2:9 “Eyes
hath not seen, ears hath not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of
man the plans God has for those that love Him.”
On my completion of the PACE
Programme, I returned to public school and secured a part-time job to support
my child. While others were enjoying
their long summer vacations, I worked full-time to ensure that I had everything
that I needed for the next school semester.
I must be totally honest with you by
saying that it wasn’t at all easy. I wanted to give up many days and have made
lots of mistakes along the way. Many
were convinced that my life was over. I lost some friends, family members gave
up on me and even the baby’s father walked away.
But by God’s grace - - -I made it
and You can too!
With faith in God, hard work and
determination, the Best is yet to come.

Who Am I? by Paulette P. Stubbs, Author & Founder of ICH Enterprises

WHO AM I?
Have you ever looked in the mirror and quietly asked yourself the
question: ‘Who Am I?” These three simple words will compel even the
most intelligent of persons to think for a minute.
But before you answer, I would like for you to firstly dismiss every
LIE that the world, your friends, your ex’s or even your family members have sold you over the years. Secondly, destroy
and un-create all the negative labels that have followed you from your childhood,
assaulted you through middle-school and became the irritating third-wheel in every intimate
relationship you’ve had.
The world, too
often make the mistake of attributing a person’s worth by what they do for a
living or by what they have done in the past. At reunions we proudly flash our
business cards with endless professional labels
and boast of our accomplishments as if this will somehow validate our existence
to others.
Our value is NOT derived from:
Profession or job
· Education
· Accomplishments (no matter how
great they are)
· Physical appearance (Ethnicity,
Race, Weight, etc.)
· Geographical location (suburbs,
ghetto, etc.)
· Financial Landscape (wealthy,
on-welfare, debt)
· Possessions
· Marital Status (Single,
Divorced, Married)
· Personal/Professional Network
Our value is NOT
diminished by events e.g.:
· Lost your job
· Homeless
· Bankrupt
· Suffered
abuse, rape, incest, etc.
· Single (as the
world portrays singleness)
· Made poor
choices
· ___________________Fill
in the blank, etc.
How
is it that we seek to be affirmed by our jobs, relationships, the media and
everything else except by the very
one that hold the blueprint for our lives?
Can you see the irony in this unfortunate mindset?
New
Self-Reality Consciousness
Our value comes
from our Creator: God and his original intent for our existence are found in
his Word. Each of us has been endowed by
God with a unique S.E.L.F. purpose and gifting to share with the world. I
have used the below acronym to illustrate the definition of SELF below:
S olo : Unique, individual
E valuation of: Worth, significance,
L ife: Existence, being
F unction: Purpose, role, meaning
We must endeavor to
re-frame our reality with what is TRUE, PURE, NOBLE and LIFE-GIVING (Phil 4:8).
With this in mind, let’s discover some of the truths found in God’s Word about
who WE really are:
