The Answered Prayer

Image
The Answered Prayer We often pray feeling so helpless and just wanting a breakthrough then the breakthrough comes and we totally are unaware or not prepared. We ask God to do something then when the opportunity strikes we fall short. Most of the time this is when we feel God is taking a long time to do something but the truth is he knows we aren’t ready. You see he knows us better than we know ourselves. He never holds back on his blessings never. However, like a good father he wants us to have something when we are fully prepared. Being unaware of the knowledge of your blessing equals to not being fully prepared. The Bible teaches us to be ready in every season. So, if we are unaware of an opportunity we definitely have more preparing to do.  The great news is that God is a God of a million chances when your heart is right. He truly wants to see us win. He is actually rooting for you and leading you to win. He loves you so much that he allows me to make these mistakes and b...

Valuing Preparation

Image
Valuing Preparation I will be the first one to admit that preparation for any task isn't easy or comfortable. But, the truth is it is vital to success, you can't just dive in head first to any project or task unaware how things work. You must know the ins and out. Society in this day of age has ignored the process stage by glamorizing the high via social media but failing to mention the depth of preparation it took to get to the level of success. Don't even get me started on the overnight sensations that the internet has made. Confusing the millennials and the x generation to believe that hard work isn't necessary anymore. Yes, they monetize for the moment but few last in longevity. Preparation will forever be the key to winning. Look at Beyonce, with all the accolades and success she always states in every interview that the preparation her father taught her has driven her to success. Biblically speaking we can look at Esther. Although, she was picked to be the new...

How I Maintain!

Image
How I Maintain Today was one of those push days for me. I had to push through and workout. I am proud that I did. I burned off nine hundred and seventy-two calories and put in an hour and a half of workout. After, I felt so awesome and really pondered on the idea of eating right and in increments. I felt a revelation in my spirit, thinking about all the hard work I just did and it can all go to waste just by eating. Then I thought about, what would I write for today's blog? Usually, I have what I want to write about and share, but today I felt a void of thought. So, I sat at my desk staring at my late husband's picture and read the sweet words I wrote to him that is in the picture. As I was reading I couldn't help but think about all of the things I have endured and how I have pushed through and still standing strong. How I miss him so much and thought about how I was feeling in that moment when I wrote those beautiful words. Life will never be easy and you will experie...

You Have To Keep Reminding Yourself Of Your Why!

Image
Have you ever noticed at the beginning of something you're so amped and ready to conquer the world? You have your heart set on a goal and you're ready to accomplish it. It is because you have you're why and it is your major focus. Our why keeps us going and gives us the strength to achieve goals. I have learned that my why keeps me from depression and giving up. Every time life tries to kick me down I can count on my why to reassure me that I can go on and tackle every obstacle to winning. You see for me my why is breaking generational curses and creating a new way of living for me and my children. I want to show my children that with God all things are possible and I don't have to do things the way the world does to accomplish them. That I can apply the word of God and excel in my life. I want my children to see that you don't have to fit in to be successful in life. The power of God and faith is all you need in life. It is so rewarding every time I think about...

Pushing Through The Uncomfortable!

Image
I always ask myself, can I be doing more? Thinking do I make excuses or is life really throwing me curveballs? The truth is both. I can always go harder and life definitely throws crazy curveballs.  For instance, I am trying to be more conscious of my eating habits and workouts. God wakes me up six thirty am every morning lately. I talk to him of course but the truth is I can get up that very second after prayer and workout. Instead of waiting until eight am. I will have so much accomplish before noon and will be able to have a crazy amount of feel-good energy from the endorphins being released after my workout. Yes, it is uncomfortable because I rather not wake up to workout so early but it will benefit me in doing so. I can opt for the chicken salad instead of the fried chicken and etc. Life is always about choices even when things aren't going as planned. We have a choice to slumber in grief and slip into depression or we can fight back by staying positive and pushing through ou...

Doing What's Practical While Enjoying The Moment!

Image
I have learned in many cases that it is so easy to get overwhelmed with unnecessary details and aspects of things. These things that we're meticulous about is stealing our right now moments. The small things that are very significant in our lives. We must be careful, you know the Bible teaches us that the enemy the devil wants to kill, steal, and destroy. Which includes our peace. He hates for us to be in peace. Whether it's a peaceful state for a moment or a lifetime. The whole objection is to derail any promises made by God. That is why it is very imperative for us to guard our minds and train our thoughts and mind to stay in peace at all times. Think about the moment when Jesus was sleeping on the boat and the storm came, his first response when the disciples woke him up was, "oh thee of little faith." ( Matthew 8;26) At that moment Jesus was teaching us no matter the storms that come our way in life. Peace be still being confident that God will overcome every h...
