Follow your Dreams

Proverbs 29:18 shares with usthat "where there is no vision, the people perish." God has designed us all to lived a fullfilled a purposeful life on this side of heaven giving Him the glory. Salvation awards us eternal life but it also awards us an abundant life according to John 10:10. What does that look like for you? Is it a dream job, an excursion to an exotic location, completing that degree program, writing that book God placed inside of you, owning your own business, having a child, marrying or living as God desires? What ever it is you must envision it to conceive it or you will never receive it!

This Friday, I received a proof copy of my book, As I Encourage You, I Encourage Myself, and the reality of God's goodness hit me. It was not because of anything I had done except my belief in His promises that allowed this lifelong dream to become a reality. I had seen the book on Kindle and Nook but it was not until I had the physical book in my hand could I acknowledge the full manifestation of Gods glory working in my life.

I challenge all who may reading this blog to follow your dreams. Do not allow the chatterbox of your negative thinking, the enemy, your friends, your family, your finances, or the worlds standards keep you from the promises God has for you! We truly can do all thing through Christ that gives us strength. Keep pressing towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus! Not only am I a new Author but a publisher! But God! Never forget as I Encourage you, I Encourage myself! Be blessed!

Be who God Designed!

These last few days has been phenomenal as I watch the very promises God has for me begin to manifest in my life. It is almost like an outer body experience watching it happen. It I was not feeling the physical impact of the work involved, I would say it was happening to someone else. It was only five years ago I was homeless, now in a few weeks I will be releasing my Christian book of encouragement, As I Encourage You, I Encourage Myself.

As I worked on final edits these last few days, I kept saying to myself how is this happening? As you encourage others to be what God designed them to be what would you tell them? It came down to four simple steps that I have been saying to myself.

1) Stay focused

2) Stay prayerful

3) Stay obedient to God

Finally, and most importantly,

4) allow God to do the rest!

Its important to note that our strength lies in Him! Have faith that He will do the impossible. By living and walking in the spirit of God which this motto aligns with, I have begun to live the life God designed.

This is an awesome journey that I would never trade. I am deeply encouraged as I encourage you to be who God designed! Be blessed.

My Testimony

As I listen to Marvin Sapp sing "Never Would Have Made It" I reflect on the words of the song and the words of the scriptures that I've chosen for this very blog...

Never would have made it, never could have made it, without you I would have lost it all, but now I see how you were there for me ... I would have lost it all, But now I see how you were there for me and I can say I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I'm better, much better, When I look back over all you brought me through. I can see that you were the one that I held on to And I never would have made it ------- Marvin Sapp "Never Would Have Made It"

Truly I never would have made it through this few past year if it had not been for the Grace of God. This song has become a true testimony for me because no matter what I was going through God was there for me. All I had to do was "BE STILL."
