      Foreword

      Walking in my identity and authentic self. What does that mean? What is the road map? Where is the GPS that will guide me to this person I've never met in order to discover what she beholds? Those are questions we all have asked. Well, ladies: The GPS was given to you at your conception! The 'trick' is plugging it into your internal self and listening to it as it informs you of a route that may not be smooth-sailing but will get you to that person you wish you really were.

      Authenticity is a destination. Identity is the car that transports you to that destination. You can never be authentic without identity. Identity is a prerequisite to authenticity. You cannot have the house without the foundation. Identity is who you are based on who your Creator said you were. Enter in our initial mistake. We accept our identities from who our parents said we were. We conform to an identity of what the people around us say we are. When doing those things, we often times neglect to ever learn of who the Creator—in His matchless wisdom—formed us to be for a purpose greater than mankind could suggest.

      A good place to start with the foundation of identity is laid out in Genesis 1:26-28, where we are informed that we were created in the image and likeness of God Himself. I'm talking about the God who created the Heaven and Earth, the Creator who gave the Great Sea a boundary, and The One who put an invisible string in place to hold the Sun, Moon, and stars in place. You are cut from the same cloth and fashioned out of the same material as THAT Great God! That means there is actually NO LIMIT on what you can accomplish.

      With identity being the foundation of your life, you will be able to soar to heights unknown to mankind. Once you get in the 'car of identity', you are well on your way to the place called Authenticity. Let me help you with what will be the fuel that powers the 'car of identity'.

      The fuel is called SELF-ACCEPTANCE. Many of us never reach authenticity because it is easier to be a carbon copy. Carbon copies come a dime-a-dozen, but we accept them because everyone already knows that that is—and since everyone already likes it, we know we will not be rejected. Rejection is a part of authenticity. (Please learn to accept and live with it because if not, you will sabotage your walk of authenticity.) One verse of scripture that holds me in my walk of identity and authenticity is Luke 20:17: The stone which the builders rejected, the same becomes the head of the corner.

      That verse gives me the strength to understand that although rejection comes, it does not negate who I really am. Once you accept yourself in all of your splendor and glory, no one will be able to make you feel 'less than' again. The tank of self-acceptance runs deep and it never dries up. You can take (and will need to take) your car there several times a day for refueling, and there is no problem with that. Go get filled and continue on your way.

      Upon arriving at Authenticity (powered by self-acceptance of your unique identity), here you have reached your DESTINY; the place; the mindset; the emotional state where God had always destined you to be. Here in this spiritual state/place, it will offer and yield you some of your greatest joys and blessings. Please note: They are not all materialistic. This is the place where God will dwell with you in the highest sense of the term—like Adam and Even when God came in the cool of the day to commune with them; like the land of Canaan, the place that flowed with milk and honey; like David, even when others feel you are not the one, God will say, I have chosen her and anoint her as a queen.

      Your authentic self does not look like anyone else. God is so vast, no one's authentic self is identical to the next person's. Here is where you cannot compare yourself to the next. Think of it like this: When God created you, He really did BREAK THE MOLD!

      Arise,
