Welcome!    12-31-18


   Oh my goodness this year has come and now is leaving, time is going by too fast! If it wasn't for grandkids the tree may have not been a decoration in our home this year.

   After my 5year old grandson and I decorated the tree, my youngest granddaughter ~1-year-old~ would reach for an ornament on the tree as she looking at me as I called her name, then boom, she would pull the ornament off of the tree. My solution, I quit turning the lights on when she came over, no attraction meant no temptation, problem solved.

   As I mentioned in previous publishing, I joined a group on FB. The founder of the group posted a question asking what good or awesome things happened for you in 2018? I was grateful for the question because it caused me to reflect on the things God has nudged me to do this year that has taken me COMPLETELY out of my comfort zone, but pushing me toward the calling on my life.

   The more I learn to trust God, I'm realizing that even though it may not make sense to me, to just go with the little nudges or pressings. That's where the peace is, in the obedience! Giving up what feels comfortable and safe, walking on the water perse. God is teaching me giving up my comfort zone, my will, or my way of doing things and surrendering to His way of doing things is what is leading me to true salvation and life.

   I used to think that salvation was simply asking Jesus into my heart and knowing I was going to heaven. Through teaching from Dr. Bill Winston, I came to the knowledge that it's much more than that.
It's everything Jesus paid for, that my salvation isn't complete unless I'm increasing in every area of my life. Spiritually, physically, financially, in my family, and socially. It's my heart's desire and I fully intend to be living out my salvation to it's fullest through Jesus Christ.
   How many people want that and are willing to do whatever it takes to live out their salvation? It takes surrender, that's a dirty word to many, but not to me! In surrender is where I have found the peace, joy, strength, rest, and wholeness of God! Lord being my helper, that's where I'll stay!

   Merry Christmas! Happy Holiday's! Peace on Earth!

   God is truly faithful, He amazes me!

   For the past two Saturdays, I have taken my 1st book ~So Thankful! Life Behind The Posts~ to a Holiday Bazaar. Promoting myself is not my strong suit, God knows that. Before going to the bazaar I asked God for book sales and divine connections. I believe I was intentionally seated next to a lady selling aromatherapy rocks (which she personally makes). She was quiet at first, not really saying anything to me. As a couple people came to my table I gave them a brief introduction as to how the writing of my book came about and a little history of my life. The next thing I knew she had taken me under her wing,. She talked to the person in charge of the bazaar, again, the next thing I knew I was behind the microphone reading an excerpt from my book. When I came off the platform it seemed as though women were drawn to my table, purchasing a copy of my book, asking me for my card, and let me know they couldn't wait to read it.
   I connected with several people who had their own businesses which definitely have the potential to be a resource to me in more than one project I am currently am working on.

   I have also joined a Facebook group called, Speak up Sis! It's a community and safe space for women from all walks of life, to tell the truth of their lives, to, Speak up Sis! It's helped me get further out of comfort zone and hopefully, I've helped and will continue to help other women in some way. There are rules everyone is asked to agree to and adhere to if we chose to remain a part of the community of sistas, but that's a good thing.

   I have two additional books I have authored, and one I am currently writing, Lord willing, they will be released in 2019. They are titled, ~I am~... ~Life and death are in your tongue~... And ~Married to the Unknown~. I have one book I am the co-author of, Lord willing, will be released in 2019, titled, ~Behind closed =doors~.  I'll keep you all updated on the release of these books. Proceeds from the book titled ~Behind closed doors will go into my Nonprofit ~Behind closed doors~ to help fight human trafficking and abused children and adults.

 2018 has been a year of preparation for me, a year of drawing closer to God and holding on to His promises no matter the storms of life that are raging around me look like. One thing I know for sure is that God cannot lie! His word holds true above ALL else.
   My personal thought is that people are so used to being deceived, lied to and let down that when it comes to believing and trusting God, they don't realize that He isn't like everyone else. That is something I have come to the truth of for myself. I have said it before and I am guessing I will say it several more times in my lifetime. God came through for me in seemingly impossible ways, more than once, and I know as long as I am on this earth He will continue to do so because I have faith in His word, I trust Him! If it's in His word, It's His promise to me, and He NEVER breaks His promises! He won't change His word or take it back for me or anyone else. His word is His bond!

 I also believe in 2019 I will be amazed at the  GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, and the Manifested POWER of God in my life!

Welcome!       12-6-18


This week has definitely been a week of pushing through somethings for me.

   Yesterday was another day of getting out of my comfort zone. I joined a group on Facebook called Speak up Sis! It is suggested that each new member post a brief video introducing themselves. Totally out of my comfort zone, but I did it. I made several attempts then finally one I was halfway happy with. It's a private group so anyone who would like to join requests to join.
   There are rules all of the members agree to adhere to. Any member caught violating the rules would face being dismembered from the group. It's a safe space for women from all walks of life to share, be vulnerable, encourage and support each other without the threat of being bullied, laughed at, etc. You are asked to actively interact with the group which takes me out of my comfort zone a little, but it's a good thing.

   This has definitely been a year of preparation for me. A year of being still before God, listening and doing what He is asking me to do even when I am a little apprehension of the unknown. Getting into His word and studying it. Getting on my knees, cleansing my heart from toxins that have been holding me back. The more I seek God and give Him the hidden places in my heart that only He knows about, the more He is opening up the treasures of His word to me.
   Scriptures I have read several times are now leaping off of the page at me with nuggets of revelation knowledge. I am more at peace within myself, strengthened by the truth that as I lay those hidden places at the cross, not excepting them in my life anymore, I am not only strengthened and at peace within but I am able to hear His voice clearer.
   God loves me no matter what, getting rid of the junk that has clogged the flow of communication that was between us, slowing my life and calling down is causing my heart to feel so much better, freer! 💖

   I have discovered that it's the small stuff that can make a huge difference, hindering me from moving forward with what I am called to do in life. It's the little foxes that spoil the vine.
