Welcome!

Since my last blog on 7-19-17, I have had many things on my heart.

   I need to focus and spend my time more efficiently. I currently have three projects I need to balance my focus and time on.

  • The opening of my beauty school that will have a daycare for my students and staff 
  • Finishing the books I have started to write 
  • Opening the foundation to hold and distribute the proceeds from the book ~Behind closed doors~  
   Those things which God has placed in my hands are my responsibility. This will require focus and determination, but most of all faith and trusting God that as I continue moving forward, He will open doors for me to walk through.
   As I have stated in previous blogs, I learn well, and, I am teachable. God has taught me through the manifestation of the power of His word that He is faithful! I know I can trust Him.
   He is taking me from faith to faith, which means to me that He is teaching me to trust Him in the little things in life leading me to trust him (having faith in His word) for the bigger things.
   My beauty school, for one, is a really big thing! I can now look back and see how He started preparing me in 1986 while in beauty school to own and operate a school.
   I have education and experience behind the chair in salons along with experience managing salons and being a salon owner.
   I have a front line and behind the scenes experience educating for a few beauty schools while being the lead instructor for one. being an educator requires continual advanced education to keep your license current.
   God has placed several people in my life who sees my vision and knows my heart to help undertake this huge project with me, I simply have to keep moving forward.

   As far as my books go, I simply need to have faith, remembering, when I sit down at my the computer the words to type are always there. One of the current books I am writing stems from experiences in my life, what I (know to be true), I simply need to trust that, I knowing God will do the rest.

   As for the foundation, I know it is a huge responsibility. Even though I know and trust the integrity and accountability of my life and that of my daughter, It's a much higher level of responsibility. To me, it requires me to be more organized than I am, putting me on a higher level than I have been on. However, it means helping people that really need help, that will be what drives me to accomplish this project.
(It is difficult putting my thoughts into words! I hope my heart is defined properly)

   Gods word say's in Genesis 11, that "nothing I purpose to do will be impossible for me".
In Deuteronomy 28:8 That God will command the blessing on all I undertake. 
Mark 10:27, Matthew 19:26 and Luke 18:27 amp all say what is impossible with people are possible WITH God, this tells me that as long as God is with me and I remember it is He that gives me the power to get wealth, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13, Deuteronomy 8:18. 

Therefore, I need to keep moving forward.

Welcome!

Since my last blog on 7-3-17, I have been soul searching.

 I have been reading a book about prayer which is causing me to ask myself the following questions.

  • Does my life (my words, actions and attitude) add up to being Christ like?
  • Does the way I live my life reflect the calling of God that's on my life?
   These questions along with others have been on my heart.

   When people look at me I want them to see a reflection of God! Do they?

   This last weekend I had another amazing opportunity to be a part of a mini tour. Lyle Lovett asked Derrick McDuffey and Kingdom Sound to join him and his large band once again for three nights of his summer tour. I was honored to join the amazing voices of DMKS for two nights of the three night tour, what an honor!

   The book titled ~Behind closed doors~ is still on track to be published spring of 2018, although I have pushed the completion date back for those telling their stories. It is a difficult process and I wanted to respect those that needing more time.

Welcome!
   Since my last post on 6-27-17, I have been preparing with anticipation to go live on Facebook. I have also been looking into what it takes to start a non-profit organization before the publishing of the book -Behind closed doors- in the spring of 2018. I have other things I need to look into regarding distributing the book without going through a third party, I don't want any other source to benefit from this book. 

  It is my goal to go live on Facebook Tuesday, July 11th, between 3:00 - 6:00 pm (PST)

   The  topics for going live on Facebook are as follows;

  • To introduce myself.
  • To briefly explain my book -So Thankful! Life Behind The Posts-, perhaps explaining why I wrote it.
   I personally would not purchase or read a book simply because I have heard of the person who wrote it, I want to know about whats inside the cover. 
  • If the flow is right I will give my website, blog address and email address.
   Many of my friends on Facebook have not read my blog, some may not even know I have one. My desire is to give them an opportunity if they so choose to log on. I believe it's a tough read, but it explains my life from age six, to now. I also want to explain how to purchase my book and how to contact me if one desires to do so.
  • I am going to promote the book -Behind closed doors- explaining the proceeds from the book will go into the non-profit organization, and what the proceeds will be used for.
     I want everyone to understand what the book -Behind closed doors- is about, and possibly how it was placed on my heart. 

   Strangely, I am excited about going live on July 11th between 3:00 - 6:00 pm (PST) and the open doors that will follow this act of obedience. I have been watching others who go live on Facebook realizing it's all a matter of being yourself. I don't have to be perfect, or look perfect, and if I stumble over a few words I have to realize it's okay (I hope to not do that), but if I do, my world won't come to end. 

I'm excited to see what God has in store!
