The Time is NOW! {Putting Your Faith in Action}


     I see you.  I know you have dreams and goals but for one reason or another, you’re sitting on them.

      What are you waiting for?  Do the stars have to be aligned perfectly? Does everyone need to be in your corner? Do you know whether you’ve saved “enough” money?  Is it the perfect time. . .

     Wake up!  These things may never come. . . but you still - no-> you ALREADY have the power to make a difference!  Napoleon Hill once said, “Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”

     Remember to replace fear with faith! You may not realize it but fear can be the thief of many dreams. Often times, we allow our own words of doubt to stop us from accomplishing our goals. We focus more on “what if” rather than the FACTS that are in front of our face.  Instead of trying to answer every single question or concern, focus on what matters.

     You can trust God! If He has given you ideas and visions-> ways that you can make a difference, you better believe that He’ll provide you with the means to do so!  This does not mean that you get to just sit there and wait for things to appear out of thin air. You have to do something.  Most of us have probably heard the words of James 2:17, “. . . faith without works is dead.” Make that your mindset. If you believe God to make ways and guide your path, start walking!

     Maybe you need a wake-up call.   Someone needs you! They are waiting for you to walk in your purpose so that they can learn from you!  Maybe you’ll be able to teach them valuable life lessons, develop a guide for healthy living or find other ways to be a blessing. Whatever your purpose is, the world won’t know if you keep it to yourself!

     I know it’s easier said than done but do not be afraid. Having God on your side means that your support system is unbreakable and trust me, He is also known for bringing the right people into your life when you need them. So when they arrive, cherish your dream builders and learn as much as you can from them.

     As you set out to accomplish your goals and dreams-> continue to check your motivation. Are you letting the idea of money or notoriety run your efforts or do you genuinely want to make a positive difference in this world?

     I pray that it will be the latter. And I hope that you’ll allow your faith to be the fuel that motivates you to accomplish all that God has created you to do! With Him, nothing is impossible. Don’t wait to go after your dreams and to walk in your purpose. . . the time is NOW!

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that?  Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another.  It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago.  We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids).  Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor.  ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though.  And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. )  Other people seem to close up.  It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.  I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
