My Chapter: This Light of Mine “Author Marianne Williamson said, ‘Nothing that happened before this moment has any power over you, whatsoever, except to the extent to which you carry it into this moment. Dwell in the present with full forgiveness of yourself and others, and your life will be lifted to divine right order ... perfection, prosperity and peace.’ I released the power my past had over me ... you can, too.”

My Chapter: F.A.I.T.H over F.E.A.R. Saying yes to something that appears impossible is not always easy emotionally, intellectually, nor spiritually. When God calls us to service, we must not hesitate, for the time is now and we have been chosen for such a time as this. Choosing not to comply with God’s request might be the absence of relief and deliverance for someone who is depending on you. Do not remain silent, nor stagnate. God has chosen you for such a time as this. Choose Faith over Fear.”

My Chapter: Living In Duality “The question is how have you handled those moments when you realized that there is a duality to your life? What did you do when you found yourself feeding others but needing some “me” time as well? If we are honest with ourselves, we have learned to deal with life from different perspectives. It is like the superhero known as Batman, Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night. We have to deal with our fears and fight for others as well. Most superheroes have something that they are fearful of or can cause them to be stifled. We have nouns, people, places, or things that will cause us to pause in life. Those nouns that will have us living in the midst of duality, between what we have been called to do and those things that are our greatest fears. What is your fear? What is the thing that will cause you to reconsider where you are in life?”

I have been a RN for over three decades but it wasn’t until I became a patient that everything I previously believed about health, healing, and healthcare changed! Health is multi-dimensional and if healing is to occur, we must do our part to ensure that every part of what makes us human, whole, and complete is cared for equally. An imbalance in any wellness dimension creates an imbalance throughout one’s entire being! A balanced body is a healthy body!
Author
“There MUST Be Balance” explores health and healing from the author’s perspective, lesson’s learned as a result of her “suddenly” health crisis, as well as basic steps on how to obtain and maintain work/life and lifestyle balance!

May you be encouraged as you elevate your faith. May the true and living Father pour into you as you read, study, and believe. May you be open to receive what God has for you. This devotional will lead you on a 30-day journey that inspires One in a Million Faith – faith to be healed when the chances seem impossible.
Tamekia Green-Judge gave her life to Christ in 2003. Though Tamekia had given her life to Christ, her true relationship with Him was recognized in 2009 when she became ill. Feeling all alone, Tamekia dedicated herself to going deeper with the Lord. It was during her battle with a rare disease that helped catapult Tamekia’s faith. Her mission now, is to allow God to show Himself to be mighty in the lives of those that connect with her. She prays that others will see the gift of healing that Christ performed within her. She encourages others as Jehovah Rapha uses her as a vessel, to reignite the hope and the faith in those who have lost the joy of pursuing hope for an elevated faith. She is a devout believer, and she serves as an intercessor. She is a project partner for “Live Your Faith Outloud”. She is also the co-founder of Cam Cam Enterprise LLC and Cam Cam Tire Repair Services, LLC. She and her family reside in Seabrook, South Carolina.

Remember when you were growing up, people would ask what do you want to be when you grow up? I’d venture to say nobody said I think I’ll become a drug addict or an alcoholic. I’m sure these ladies all felt that way but life! Read these ladies’s stories of the battles they fought and the hope they have now that their invisible chains have been broken off. They share so that others will know there’s a place where hope is found. As a former student said, she wished she’d had this book to read so she would have known earlier there’s hope.
