One of the #ShineCrew members just did a live and talked about the Shine Crew being “a movement”. 
When you start something out of obedience and you’re so unsure of what you’re doing, how to do it and you really have no clue as to what it will become….
…but you just put FEET TO YOUR FAITH, and you show up consistently EVERY WEEKDAY FOR A YEAR, to SERVE the people God assigned to you….
She said a whole lot, yall! She poured out her heart, shared her story and really shook me to my core!! But then,
THIS TOOK ME OUT! 
She referred to ME as, “A GRACEFULLY BROKEN WOMEN WALKING IN HER CALLING, BEING OBEDIENT TO GOD and now she is holding that light for other people!!” She went on to say, “she has been a light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of us!!”
I was NOT READY!!So, let me say this to YOU, just START!!
Stop questioning yourself!
It doesn’t have to be perfect!
You don’t have to have it all together {I didn’t}. In fact, I was just going live to be obedient, I wasn’t trying to BUILD ANYTHING! I showed up to SERVE THE PEOPLE!
God sent everything I needed.
God sent the right people to surround me, cover me and pray for me.
He opened doors, and He’s still opening them.
Everyone will NOT support you; they will not understand; and they will talk about how you’re making a big mistake! TAKE ALL OF YOUR DIRECTION FROM GOD!!
When I worried about HOW unqualified I am because I’m not a Bible scholar or preacher, or the lack of scriptures I’ve committed to memory, someone told me, “you are needed to fill the void! God called you to do it differently. You were created to deliver it differently…with JOY, LAUGHTER, SMILES and SHINE!”
Be YOU, unapologetically authentic!
Your story will unlock someone else’s prison! Your #GIFT will make room for you! God will give you the desires of YOUR HEART and after your name is mentioned in rooms you’ve never stepped foot in, God will set a TABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES. And, as for all those who counted you out…
…God will ELEVATE YOU
Because you’ve been obedient, you’ve served with humility and honor; you didn’t RUSH THE PROCESS, but you trusted God in the process and now it’s your turn!
It’s YOUR SEASON!
You can trust the NEXT CHAPTER, because YOU KNOW THE AUTHOR!
Whew! Stay tuned, because God is NOT FINISHED YET!! There’s so much more to come!
But if you are searching for a place to Grow in God, a safe, sacred space to peel away the layers, and blossom into who God created you to be, then join the Shine Crew! You gotta be in it for the long haul, though, this is not a “get fixed quick scheme!” This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE!
SHOW UP and SHINE with us every weekday morning at 10AM EST on Shine With Andrea — make some noise in the comment section and let God do the rest!
Give God something to work with; and before you know it, you’ll be unrecognizable, too!
Oh and while I have your attention, let me REINTRODUCE MYSELF, my name is Andrea Harrison, “The Chief SHINE Officer and Show Up Strategist!”
