As I flipped through the pages of my journal last night, I came across notes from a sermon in January. My pastor was talking about Moses' encounter with the burning bush.
Here's how he explained the story:
Moses was 40 years old when he started to run from God's call. He was hiding in plain sight. He had a wife, kids, and a good job. One day while working with his sheep, he finds himself in a sacred place. He sees something strange - a bush that was burning but not consumed. He stops working and pauses to look at this irrational thing. When he turned to look, God called to Moses, and this begins to change his relationship to God and his life. God told Moses to remove his sandals, indicating that he was on Holy Ground.
I wrote in my notes what my Pastor said next, "Whenever I am manifesting the call of God, it becomes Holy Ground."
So many of us are unsure or lack confidence about what our calling is, especially in this economy and in this job market. In my experience helping people to define their personal brand, I know that often their calling has nothing to do with a job title or an industry. Sometimes it has to do with how we make our mark on the world: who we are and the choices we make. That's what makes us unique and can be the foundation for our personal brand, our calling.
The bush was burning, but it was not destroyed, and the same is for you. God speaks to us in our situation. Stop and listen to your burning bush. "In my struggle can be the revelation of the presence of God."
I came across this quote tweeted by Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) last year and I keep it on a sticky note on my wall.
"Remember, you may not see your reward when you're making the right choice, but IT IS COMING. So, stand in the space HE created for YOU!"
Now, you know to take off your fabulous sandals because you are standing on Holy Ground.
What's your calling? Where are you standing?

Plus size fashion is making an important transition from mere access to providing more choices in fashion - from hiding flaws to inspiring personal style. Yet, a study by Glamour magazine (March 2011) says that 97% of women will think something cruel about their bodies today. The women in the study had an average of 13 brutal thoughts about their bodies every day. What is this fixation we women have with our so-called imperfections?
As a result, many of us become stuck in a style rut with closets full of colorless, ill-fitting, and unfashionable clothes. Well, “God knows our hearts and our anxious thoughts.” And here’s what the Bible recommends in Philippians 4:8 - “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious – the best, not the worst: the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.” (The Message)
Here’s my style advice: Take a lesson from this scripture and make an appointment to focus only on the best of you. 1) Start out every day by making a list of all the good things that come to mind about YOU! Don’t worry about being self-absorbed or becoming a narcissist. This will simply counteract all of the negative things we say automatically. Looking at the positive will take some work. 2) Look in your closet and play dress up. Pull out the outfits that you love to wear and make you feel good about YOU! These are the clothes that most likely accentuate your best physical traits and will give you those good vibes.
When it comes to your personal style, are you more focused on your flaws than the fashion?
