365 days ago I published my first blog. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was close to midnight when I was awakened out of my sleep by the voice of God, prompting me to write my first blog. October 15, 2019! I remember feeling so nervous about the what-if’s. What-if people don’t like it? What-if it doesn’t make sense? What-if no one reads it? What will I write about in the future? Do I have what it takes to stay committed? So many thoughts ran through my mind and it wasn’t long before anxiety kicked in. The beauty in it though was that I was determined to do one thing that night. BE OBEDIENT. I took the leap of faith and wrote what I heard from the Holy Spirit and here we are 365 days later.
Over the last 52 weeks, I have published pure, spirit-led, faith based, inspirational blogs. Each week I wrote despite whatever I was challenged with in life. Boy, was that tough! I missed a few weeks in between, but that’s okay too. My, my, my, what a journey it has been. I had no clue what my future held or how the world would be impacted by little ol’ me. MAN, was I TRIPPIN’. God provided provision week after week. I wrote some weeks when I felt I had nothing to give. I wrote some weeks when I felt I wasn’t worthy and others when I felt I could do anything. Through each week God continued to show his faithfulness, as there’s no possible way I would have done it without him. He’s the real MVP! It was his love, grace, and strength that sat with me each week. It was his joy that inspired through me when I was empty and needing a word myself. It was his love that carried each word on the pages. Truly, it was ALL him.
Today, I am so thankful for all he has done in me and through me. I pray that as “we” (because I wouldn’t be here without you all either) continue on this journey, that he keeps on keeping on. I pray that God continues to peel back layers, expose me to me and expand my spiritual being, so our lives will be changed forever, while he gets ALL the glory!
Over the weekend as I conversed with some of my good girlfriends, the cleaning company 409 came up. We used their company as a reminder that no matter what, keep at whatever it is until it is so. If you’re unfamiliar, it took the company 409 times to get the product right, but they kept going. What number are you on with your dream? What’s stopping you from continuing?
I am challenging you to step out on faith and close out 2020 completing that thing God keeps speaking to you about. Whatever it is, DO IT! If he deposited the desire and manifested the thought in your mind, he WILL fulfill his promise to make it successful. If the enemy attempts to attack your mind with the what-if’s, you combat it with the promises of God, straight from HIS word. Jump! Leap! Do it scared, just do it. Ask yourself what if it is successful? What if I can do it? What if I won’t fail? What’s the worst that can happen? You don’t get it right. Try again and again and again and again.
Cheers to another 52 weeks of support, transparency, inspiration, spiritual growth, love, transformation, hope, laughter, and faith. Thank you to each of you for your continued support. Thank you for every share, comment, like, and feedback. Thank you for your words of encouragement, wisdom and unwavering love. This is to you, too! May God continue to supply your every need and fulfill your heart’s desire.
Press in his presence this week my loves while worshipping and reading his word.
Psalms 28:7 NLT
"The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving."
Psalms 40:8 NLT
"I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart."

...don't care where you've been. All that matters is you keep pushing. There ain't nothing too hard, you can do all things. Nothing in my way, I keep striving. Don't you let the struggle paralyze your dreams...
