Böcker av Mia Hartsfield

God knew I would be writing today. I was already scheduled to be off yesterday, and I had every intention of waiting until spring break to start writing this book, then I woke up today and immediately started setting my stuff up to write. By the time I finish this book, I will know what my new beginning is. I'm hopeful that writing this book will reveal to me what I'm waiting for, and even if it doesn't, I know wholeheartedly that something amazing is coming. Something promised, purposeful, and made just for me.

Becoming a teacher doesn't mean that you've mastered the art of teaching. Becoming a teacher means you've agreed to dedicate your life to learning life, and all the things that are required to live. Being a teacher requires dedication toward obtaining knowledge and an undying passion to see growth...not success. Focusing on success introduces a debilitating boundary/expectation that could cause a teacher to give up or fail. Focusing on growth provides limitless opportunities for learning to take place...as long as you are apt to teach.

This is my second time publishing this book. Why? Because I was still trying to control my path as a result of fear, instead of trusting God and being led by my faith in HIm. As you read the final Chapter of BODI-WAR, you will see a huge shift in spiritual maturity. Lots of moments of clarity took place while reviewing the Lord's examination of the spiritual schisms within my body in preparation for surgery. And believe me when I tell you...there were many.

Are you willing to die for your team? That's what I ask myself when I'm given an assignment. I don't remember...I was about to lie. I remember the day that the Lord called me to lead. I had no idea that I was answering His call at the time. I just knew that someone was in a leadership position, that they didn't ask for, but they rose to the occasion because no one else was willing to do it.You see, I am a woman of true faith. And as a leader of true faith, it is my duty to be the example of what a woman of true faith looks like consistently...without wavering. I cannot tire...I cannot falter...and I must not fail. The Lord called me...and I answered...but I had no idea where He was leading me to...until I got there. And now...there's no turning back. I am on a mission to become Dr. MIA. Missing In Action. Because it is, and always will be...all of Him and none of me.
