Stop trying to fit into a mold that was not created for you!
Everyone was created in a unique manner. We all have been given talents and abilities that set us apart from everyone else. There is a “special something” associated with us all that sets us apart from the rest. It is time that we accept that “special something” and stop trying to fit in a mold that was not created for us. We were not meant to become duplicates of someone else. Even in the case of identical twins, there is a uniqueness that sets them apart. Some people spend their entire lives attempting to reach goals that someone else set for them. They fail to find their identity because they…

You have done all that You can do, now let Me handle it!
The other week while doing my hair I found my mind consumed with thinking about some things I desire for God to do in my life and that of my family. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t worrying, this time, I was actually just pondering about how, when and where. As I was trying to figure things out in my own mind I heard these words in my spirit, “You have done all that you can do, now let me handle it”. I must confess that it took me a few seconds to actually process this directive. See, this was not just a statement but instructions. There are times we…

Wait! Don’t Give Up! It is Coming in Time!
No, please not another year! Do I have to wait another year? What have I done to cause this long delay? How do I find the strength to continue even though I am discouraged and tired? I believe these are questions many of us have asked during our time of waiting. When there is a strong desire, waiting can seem almost impossible to do at times. Although it may seem hard, don’t give up, it will come at the appointed time! What is an appointed time? A time that is predetermined, predestined, set and fixed. In every promise God has scheduled an appointed time. For many years before the birth…

I Am Worthy!
It has been almost a year that I have been on this writing journey. I remember when I first embraced the idea that God had called me to write and how nervous and unsure I was. Although people, primarily my husband and my mom, had been telling me about my writing for years I refused to accept what they were saying. One reason is because I honestly did not feel that I had a passion for writing and I was really unsure of myself. When I decided to go ahead and launch out into the deep I had many doubts. I wondered whether or not I would be able to…

Take Your Power Back!
There are so many times we run behind things and people that are either not meant to be in our lives or choose not to be. In some cases they are meant to be in our lives, however, they often mistreat us or discourage us whether it is intentionally or unintentionally. We must remember that although people may say and do hurtful things to us, these things can only tear us apart if we allow them to. We have the power and we must take it back! We have the power to keep pressing and keep believing in ourselves even when others do not. We have the power to overcome…

Invest in Yourself
I realize that I have a bad habit that needs to be broken. The habit that I am speaking of is actually common among many people I know although I don’t know if they realize that it is a habit. Sometimes we become so consumed with the cares of life and we forget to invest in ourselves. We invest in our spouses, our children, jobs, churches, community and etc…but we forget to invest in ourselves. It is important to devote some time, energy and resources into ourselves. I am in no way speaking against doing things for others; however, we must remember how important it is to do something…

True Love is a Necessity
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Corinthians 13:4-8. The act of love is like none other. Without true love, we as a people would be completely lost. God showed us his unfailing agape love when he gave his only begotten son so that we may have the opportunity for eternal life. Although God is the ultimate…

Be Intentional
I love the song “Intentional” By Travis Greene. Whenever I listen to it, I begin to think about how special I am to God and how he truly has great intentions for me. When we do things intentionally we are doing them on purpose. God intentionally sent Jesus to die for us and he intentionally gives us the ability, desire, vision and resources to prosper. God does not intend for us to live below what He can accomplish within us and through us. It is time for us to be intentional about the decisions and moves we make in life. We should be intentionally walking in the visions and…
