Wow! I was talking to one of my lil sis' this morning.  She was telling me about how proud of me she was.  I giggled and said "what do you mean?"  She began to explain to me how I have grown in my relationships and in my personality.  It was confirmation to me because I understood exactly what she was saying.  I before I used to act like someone who did not know how to love and accept others fully.  I was very short and always reserved. Always seemed busy and didn't talk to others about their situations. But I have been going through a love transformation in the past year.

Through discovering Jesus' love for me I am now truly able to love others fully and walk in confidence in who I am. I see people differently, I want to speak life into their situations and I don't have to let fear stop me.  I am loving the person that God is shaping me to be.   My fellow Blogger Naima has a great saying she put up on Twitter and it says something like " Success is on the other side of Fear",  something like that. Well that is absolutely the truth.  Fear...that's another blog for another day.  So be encouraged my sisters God is working on you, he is molding you and shaping you into a better version of yourself, all you have to do is let go of the fear and let him do it!

We Must Be Spiritually Woke

I had the honor and privilege to speak at my very first youth conference and believe me when I tell you I have never felt so relevant to young people than I did that day.  It reminded me that just because I am 42, I still had a lot to offer young people and they were eager to listen.   I usually shy away from middle school and teens because they get on my last nerve, and they trigger me in many ways, because of my childhood dealing with sexual abuse and being a teen mom.  I think they remind me of the time I did not have the luxury to be just a kid.  So when I see them doing and making stupid kid decisions, I can't handle it.  Notice I said "kid decisions".  That's what they get to do, and it's perfectly acceptable, but for me, I just cannot deal, call me a hater.  I'm okay with that...lol Speaking to these young adults inspired me more, because they have some adult experiences that I can easily relate and get to them on their level.  H...

Open Doors!

"I know your works.  See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you who have little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name." Rev 3:8 God never forgets the works that we do!  I can remember countless hours of standing on my feet ushering, or many miles traveled to support other ministries. I remember numerous Sundays being in the office completing business. So much labor.  I had to grow not to complain about how much our life was consumed by works...in fact I had made that the main thing and obliviously forgot about my relationship with Jesus.  Thank God for his grace!  Through His patience with me coming through his word, I was able to gain the revelation that I needed to refocus!  But even then He still did not forget about my works.  Because of my diligence and commitment to ministry, he has now allowed me the opportunity to share the gifts that he has given me. It's amazing the doors that have been...

You are Not Alone ...As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.                                                                                                                          Joshua 1:5 Joshua was charged with bringing God's people into the promise land after his predecessor Moses and all the Generation before them had passed. Joshua was with Moses during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, he was with Moses through battles and triumphs, through failures and progress.  However, he wasn't in the position Moses was in as the leader. But now, it was Joshua's turn to lead the people of God, I can't imagine the stress h...
