Last week, I marked the anniversary of my mother's passing, a somber seven years without her. Yet, for the very first time, I forgot. Surprisingly, amidst a few social media posts scattered throughout the month, the actual day slipped my mind. At first, this forgetfulness seemed almost unsettling. How could I forget such a significant date? But as I pondered it more, I began to see it as a profound moment of healing and growth.For countless years, September 15th had been etched into my consciousness. It was a day that paralyzed me, a day when I couldn't do anything but lie in bed, tears flowing, as the physical and emotional pain took its toll. The date had this strange power...
Reality can paint a picture so well that you think you are being realistic, or relying on common sense. But I've searched and googled a few times and have yet to find a scripture that supports us being realistic or relying on common sense. Even common sense is derived from somewhere, and if it's not from God then it can not be a source of truth for the believer.
When I first started my writing and purpose journey in 2014, all God said was “Your books will bring healing to the nations”. That’s it! Every book/journal I have published since then has been under the assignment and obedience to release what He has shown, placed and did in me. Over the years I’ve imagined what that vision will look like: best selling author, speaking and traveling the world and because none of that has happened I’ve procrastinated at times on my assignment. I’ve grown weary in well doing. I’ve spent money on coaches to give me a strategy. I created and rebranded my websites 50-11 times. I’ve created and started coaching programs to teach people what I know/do. I’ve...
We often ask what happens to the Dream deferred, but what happens to the dream you didn’t dream? The one that you never wanted or asked for because your trauma had you in survival mode … Chasing happiness in others or things. Running from poverty and lack. Searching for freedom from drama. You didn’t have time or space to dream, so you found joy in comfort … just making it past the generational curses. You weren’t told you were special and honestly you weren’t trying to be, you were just trying not to be a statistic. So what happens when the dream you didn’t ask for was placed in your lap and now it’s taking over ever fiber of your...
Can I have a real conversation with you for a moment? It’s been an emotional roller coaster with me, and I hate to admit it, for at least the last two years. In regards to my purpose and my business I’ve just been contemplating over and over in my mind what to do to help it grow. Even after hearing clearly from God to focus on healing. Even after obtaining the download from Holy Spirit for a new prompted journal line. Even after receiving instructions to focus on creating those journals, this blog and my podcast. I was still left in a state of confusion. Or at least I thought it was confusion, because after all the clarity and directives,...
