He Is ABLE

There is is nothing that is beyond the reach of God. Not your finances, relationships, marriage, absolutely nothing. Often times the enemy will try to distract us and draw us away from the truth. The enemy desires to get us up and arms and to doubt God so that he can sift us like wheat. Do not let him. 

Focus on what it is that the Lord would have you to do! God is Able. Nothing will surprise him about your circumstance. He is not caught off guard by anything that has happened to you. God is very intentional in everything that he does so please trust in his provision.

If God put a desire in your heart, a dream a vision and or a plan, Trust him. God is Able. Every snag, every hater, every misfortune and set back is a set up for a come up you just have to believe it.

This is my encouragement for you today. Trust, believe and receive. God is able to do just what he said. You are not forgotten. I pray the Lord Strengthen bless and keep you today and always.

HAPPY

Every Few years a song comes along that just makes me happy and  changes the course of my day!! Here is the latest.  Pharell is just beyond dope as a artist and a producer but this song does it for me!!


What's in Your Rearview 2013-2014

I am so excited to finally be sitting down to carve out time to write in this blog. So may things,  events and circumstances have taken me away from what I love. You probably would not believe how many times I have sat down to pen something or to just get the emotions out... and time, work, family  and life just happened. I can not believe it has been over a year since I have shared with you all.

Every year I do a "What's in your review" type of deal to look back to move forward. A good friend once told me "time changes everything" and that is so true (thanks Jay). In October 2012 I lost my mother 2 weeks later I lost my Grandfather and on Mothers day 2013 my father had a life saving liver transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. In the midst of all of these life altering circumstances I managed to graduate with my Masters in Biblical Counseling. In the midst of it all  God provided he covered, he blessed and he kept me and my family. I am more than grateful for the peace God gave me in the most troubling times of my life.

I think in this last year, maybe year and a half I have learned more about myself than ever before. I have had my world turned upside down with grief and uncertainty, changed my career completely and left my old job. I have found out who is about me and who is not. I have found a inner strength that I never knew I had. 

I don't make new years resolutions but I believe if you want something different you have to do something different. so here are 4 things that I resolve to do not, as a new years resolution but as a life resolution.

1.) I will pour energy and love only into those who are pouring energy and Love into me and support those who support me.

2.) I will prioritize my health and well being, mentally, spiritually and physically. 

3.) I will make power moves and be relentless about building for the future.

4.)  I will accept absolutely, positively no more empty love relationships! I will only accept the love I deserve.

Well there it is transparent... the good, the bad and the not so pretty. I pray that you embraced all that you have learned in 2013 to make a better 2014. What's in your rear view?
