Cinderella

Today, I do believe I’m Cinderella. And just like Cinderella, when her mother and her father passed away, it was the wicked stepsisters who tried to destroy her and make her a slave. And I’m also Rose in the Titanic. Everyone that the Council has shown to me is a script from my life.

Now I’m free from her. And maybe I don’t know who my prince is yet or who my Jack is, but I do know that I’m not her prisoner anymore. I pray in God’s timing my dog comes back to me. But otherwise, I never wish to see her or speak to her again.

My prayer now is to become what I was meant to become – Skyla. As shown to me by Marilynn Monroe and my father taking me to the headquarters of baywatch yesterday. Maybe I don’t know how I’ll get there just yet. But I can walk in faith and prepare my body and my mind for the next step. I want to be a big star. I want to be on TV. I want to be the icon that young girls see and they read my story and know that being casted out, unwanted and treated horribly by the parents or family members that were supposed to love you isn’t a curse its a crossroad that and we were made to rise from the ashes.

I pray that God takes every word she’s ever spoken over me in hate, jealousy and control and makes those words the ones he uses to slingshot me to the top.

She said no one likes me. I pray God makes me the most likable personality on TV.

She said my Granny is disappointed in me. I pray the angels make known their rejoicing over what I become now.

She said I’m a disgrace to my family name when I wear a swimsuit. I pray that I wear a swimsuit and everyone in my family watches me on screen saying to everyone they know, “yeah, we’re related to that beautiful being right there. That’s my genes!”

She said I’m a loser, a slob and I’ll end up homeless like her sister. I pray that I end up with maids, a star on Hollywood boardwalk with my name on it showing that I WON and I pray that I have the biggest mansion money can buy right here in paradise.

She said I’m a victim. I pray that I play a character in a movie that’s so iconic for women warriors that a sword is sold in major department stores with my name on it.

She said I’m jealous of her and Jim. I pray that I live inside of a love story in the public eyes that the entire world looks upon and says, “That’s what I want. That’s true love. That’s what I’m praying to one day find.”

Every year for Christmas… I’ll send her an autographed photo of me with an apology letter for not setting the alarm on her front door. I’ll say I’m glad your wall memorabilia worth $80k wasn’t stolen and I’ll tell her to enjoy all of her jewels.

God says he will set a table for me with those who have persecuted me and hurt me. He will cause them to come worship at my feet. I believe this, I receive this. I wait for instructions and doors to open. I speak it and I believe it. I will be a famous, iconic actress – a household name loved in every home. I will be known as the beautiful girl with a great sense of humor who is everyone’s favorite daughter.

Lord help me climb out of her shadow and set my mind, my heart and my spirit to BECOMING SKYLA.

In Jesus’ name…

Amen.
