Tap intoGod’s Purposefor Your LifeLindsay with special guest, Sheree Fletcher, and co-host Belinda Scott.Recently on our Make Your Day Count TV program, my co-host Belinda Scottand I interviewed a very special guest, Sheree Fletcher. Sheree is a mother,wife, entrepreneur, and a gifted reality TV star. Her husband, Terrell Fletcher,played football in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers and today is the pastorof City of Hope International in San Diego, CA. Sheree has a great desire toempower women with the purpose of God. She also shared with us the storybehind her unusual moisturizing cream for dry skin. —LindsayLindsay: Hello, you lovely lady! Weare so glad you’ve joined us today.You have an amazing story that Iknow has inspired a lot of women.You were married to Hollywoodactor Will Smith. You went througha public and painful divorce, youwere part of a reality show aboutHollywood exes, and now you’re anentrepreneur and a minister! Youhave been through a lot!Sheree: Yes, Lindsay. At the time ofmy divorce, I did not know the Lord.I knew He was real, but I didn’t havea relationship with Him. In 1999, it10J A N U A R Y / F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 3
ecame very clear to me that myway of living wasn’t working. In thenatural, I had everything I couldneed, but I still wasn’t happy. Godshowed me that it wasn’t happinessI was looking for, because happinessis situational.Lindsay: Happiness comes and goes.Sheree: Right! What I was lookingfor was fulfillment. I was lookingfor my purpose. We serve a Godwho has purpose, and we are madein His image. That means we needpurpose too. So I gave my life tothe Lord Jesus Christ, and I havenot looked back. I felt the leadingof the Lord to begin to help otherwomen be overcomers in life. TheLord showed me that He is the onewho gives us purpose, but part ofmy assignment from Him was tohelp women get the POWER to tapinto God’s purpose for their lives.No matter what we go through inlife, the Bible tells us that the samecomfort we’ve received, we shouldgive that comfort to somebody else(2 Corinthians 1:3–4). There’s aresponsibility that we have to oneanother—to bear one another’sburdens, to help pull our sisters outof trouble if we can, and to preventour sisters from hitting the wall asmany of us have.Belinda: Just like you, so manywomen have been through desertexperiences, times when we’ve feltlost and alone. And you are helpingthem come out with purpose andpower and without shame.Lindsay: I like that—with no shame!But what do you do when somebody’shurt you? What do you do when ahuge change comes to your life suchas the break-up of a marriage? Howdo you avoid bitterness, regret, andshame?Sheree: I believe it’s a consciouschoice. I believe you have to chooseto not be bitter and choose to notdwell in shame. I also believeforgiveness has to be done quickly.Belinda: Now, hold on a second. Shesaid forgiveness has to be donequickly!Sheree: Yes, the decision to forgiveneeds to be made quickly, but theforgiveness itself is a process.Lindsay: So many times, it “feels”better to gripe and complain. Let’sbe honest—sometimes we wouldrather pick up the telephone and calla friend. But I believe a true friendwill listen to you and let you ventyour feelings, because I think thatis part of our healing process. Butthen that friend could say, “OK, areyou through? You’ve been there longenough; it’s time to move forward!”Belinda: So, Sheree, when did youbegin sensing the Lord telling youthat you had something to give thatwould bless other women?W W W.
