Charlotta is my name. Making people feel happy, safe, and free in their bodies, minds, and souls is my thing. When it comes to prayer, worship and praising God in their unique way, is my goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I was a young child, I always felt odd, left out, and weirdly different. I was called names like: skinny mini, cross-eyed, Ethiopian on crack, and so much more. I was in the church choir, couldn\u2019t sing nor move to the rhythm of those songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt something whenever I praised God ,that resurrected in my soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I praised Him the way I felt inside in every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a teenager, I went on sabbatical from church because I was churched out from being there so much as a youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I became a wife and mother, my husband had me reading The Book of Psalms and Proverbs with our son nightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My soul was restoring something new started to grow inside of me. I went back to church and sang my praises to God like I did as a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a lady in church that told me, \u201cGod said to her: “tell Charlotta to keep on singing and dancing, that\u2019s how I minister to her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God called me Encourager. (Ephesians 4:11-13) So, Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I moved down south, my son was 13 years old. I was afraid of him taking the school bus alone in the darkest hours of the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, at the same time, I had to let him grow. 2 Timothy 1:7 NLV For God did not give us a spirit of fear. He gave us a spirit of power and of love and of a good mind. I started writing him encouraging messages each morning and texted them to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a few months had passed ,I was praying over the phone with someone, and that is when I heard a message saying to me that \u201c God wants a new Church.\u201d Then, I started texting everyone on my contact list encouraging messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2 Timothy 2:14-15) states: Keep reminding God\u2019s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
