Won

Image
Won Someone took the hand you have and won with it. As, I, sat in the library and looked around, I saw a picture of Oprah Winfrey. Staring at me and instantly, I heard a voice in my head and it said: "she was dealt a harsh hand but she won." Even the document I was printing, a story about Ruby Bridges and I realized she had won. I couldn't help but feel convicted. I woke up this morning a little frustrated how things are going in my life. Feeling overlooked and underpaid. Not understanding, why the people of God have to endure so much? Honestly, I wanted to complain but the scriptures have taught me that doesn't please God so I try my best to refrain from it. Instead, I recite scriptures in my head and force myself to think positive. Since I am being honest, I did not want to even write this blog. However, I kept hearing in my head "someone won with the hand you have." I knew in my heart that I needed to share that same metaphor with you. Listen, I can...

Read! Your Life Depends On It!

Read! Your Life Depends On It! The more life gets me frustrated the more I have to lean on the scriptures. I've noticed that it is very easy to forget something when you're under stress but when I start my day with exercise and the word of God, I seem more in control of my feelings. The truth of the matter is, it is our feelings that are governing us in time of need or frustration. The reading of the Bible helps me to renew my mind and control my thoughts. You see, if I don't get a hand of me then I control myself with stupid illusions. That means emotions everywhere. Let me elaborate if you start your day with social media and everyone else's problems first you will become out of whack and not in sync with God. Your emotions will lead. If you start your day with Jesus first then your perspective will be different. You will hold on to the confidence of your faith of what you just meditated on in the bible. You will be quick to rebuke a thing and move on.  Spiritu...

Push With Pain

Image
Push With Pain Life can feel so unbearable at times and make you want to throw in the towel. Friends aren't the same and support can feel far away then near. Endeavors may seem unprosperous and you feel like you are the only one not winning. This is the time you press into God and renew your mind. You are closer than you think. In fact, you would be a fool if you quit now. Waste all of your hard work, tears, and experience. These are the times that the successful pioneers warned us about. When they had to use grit and grind until they saw manifestations. To be honest, the devil is betting on you to fold (quit) . Nothing happens overnight and if it does it is is not sustainable. You want longevity, something that your children's children can glean from. This type of success takes time. Trust God and continue to do the work. Think about the farmer and the process he endures to see the harvest of his field. The same process applies to us in our journey to success. This is w...

Find Your Push

Image
Find Your Push Today, I did not want to get out of bed. I wanted to have a self-pity party and drown in sorrow. Going up and down my social media feeds feeling like, "what am I doing wrong?" Not realizing I was comparing my current position with someone else's. Before it got out of hand, I prayed and as I was praying, someone messaged me asking for prayer. I knew deep down inside that was God's way of saying, my child, you are valuable. Instantly I got in leadership mold and got on my knees and prayed for her. I felt convicted because I almost forgot that I am running my own race. My journey is going right in alignment on how the Lord wants it to flow. Timing is everything in the kingdom of God. Jesus had a set time when he was to enter earth. We have to trust God. Let me encourage you with my truth, no one is exempt in feeling defeated for a moment. The thing is you can't stay in that mindset you must shift those thoughts. You know what I did. I got my...

No Limits

Image
No Limits I find it so strange that we can watch someone winning in life and feel like it is so unattainable when it pertains to our own life. We can see the countless opportunities for someone else but see nothing but limited opportunities for ourselves. I say bull crap, that stops today. God doesn't limit the number of resources he provides to his children. In fact, he wants to see us thrive and win. Hello! "Jesus said, I come to give life abundantly." (John 10;10) The thing to remember is in the same text, he also said: "the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy." Preparing us for the battle but assuring us that we are the winners. You can't limit God and your thinking. You must open up your mind and think about the life you truly want and go after it. I never have seen a determined person fail. After a while, doors open for them as they stay consistent. They understand Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes the average entrepreneur approximately...
