The Reality Is..you HAVe to Believe and TRUST GOD...

" This is your captain..Buckle up"!!! I jumped up and looked around.. I could've sworn I was laying in bed and sure as heck I was.. I looked around and said that was weird. I attempted to lay back down, then I heard.." Are you going to Trust me, or keep trying to out smart me"?? ...We're only as strong as the defining moments where we realize there is something better over EVERY horizon... It's NOT the matter of meeting people just like US, BUT the ones who help Us realize that at this moment and particular time WE are right where We're supposed to be..

And I will make the dark places light, the ones who despise you, I will remove and the ones for you will understand, be there and never leave..

I was starting to have doubts. i knew I was moved out from under "comfort" to be placed into my season of total dependence on God.. I just didn't know HOW hard it was going to be.. I didn't know ppl were going to walk out of my life as quickly as they did and I surely didn't know God was already lining it up for me to continue growing, moving and touching others..With eyes full of tears, I had made up in my mind, I wanted to go back to what was familiar.. I wanted to have the "comfort" of calling my mom to hang out with me, I wanted to have the comfort of a church home where, it may not have always been peachy, but EVERYONE knew me, I wanted to go back to a job I HATED but was secure it getting paid weekly... BUT God said NO!!! He strategically placed me alone so that I could build a bond with my own daughter to mimic what my mother and I share, He placed me at The dReam Center Church of Atlanta because was time for me to spread,fly and share his word, he allowed me to meet a young sister and share words of encouragement reminding her, "We cannot start a new phase if we have NOT completely finished the previous one"Boy do I know about that..( Love you Ruthie) and lastly He placed me at this job because I had to encounter a young woman and give her the motivation and strength to Embrace Greater( love you Mel).. I had done all I could for the Youth of Boston and now its time to help women and young girls because so many of them are not living up to their fullest potential. Some "babies" that are planted within us are to large to be delivered in a "small" place. We have to go where the delivery can go smooth and where the "baby" will be fully nurtured, loved, not judged because of the circumstances they were produced( did u catch that)???

I started talking to God telling him, "This is hard..I have no one, the ppl I thought were going to be right here are gone... The people I wanted here are NOT as available and easily accessible as I thought they would be.. In those quiet moment where I could hear an ant outside my door, God comforted me with his loving arms and with these words.. "Better and Greater"...

My outlet became my writing. I had always wrote but now it came from a place deeper than before. It was coming from my soul. Through my writings, I've been able to help organizations secure money, I've witnessed to myself first and then others and above all I found a newer way to Exemplify my Passion.. an Author friend of mine once shared with me, that when you write, write from the heart so that your audience can feel it and relate to it. Funny thing, for each person that's touched, they all receive a different meaning for their life.. So amazing..

I've been patiently AWAITING my break. Jobs, ideas, business opportunities and meetings of the minds were preparing me for my OWN Greatness. God removed me from under others so I could use my own eyes and walk Boldly with Authority into my own Destiny. The tears I shed were my tears for my own future..
I write with a JOY and Peace in my heart because out of what I was gong to deem failure and an AWFUL day, God said NOT so!! I've always felt I was last, BUT God is showing me thru obedience and sacrifice the last surely does become the 1st!!

Whatever your passion is, do it from the heart. It will not go un-noticed. Where ever God is leading you go. We cannot give up until we've tried.. I'm reminded of my daughter, she absolutely HATES being punished. She has a room full of everything but will not play with it, BUT during those moments where she has no other choice but to be in there, she'll pick up Sarah and comb her hair, she will turn on her wii and"exercise" because she has NO other CHOICE!!! Do not let you Blessing come from an opportunity that God had to literally break you down to get your attention.
Walk in the authority of knowing that if you TRUST God, he's not going to leave you nor forsake you... He is Not going to leave you in the desert with no water.

Today, I passionately WRITE because its a Gift God has given me.. This gift opened up a PHENOMENAL door today and if I keep listening to God in a matter of time, its going to pay off...

I'm Inspired today because my yesterday wasn't the best,
My yesterday wasn't the Best because the week before my eyes we're Clouded with fear,
My eyes were clouded with fear because I was to lazy to look for MYSELF...
Today, they are opened with a new outlook and a new Vision..
I'm Seeing Greater and therefore I'm walking in it..
I've been emptied of Crazy"Ness"
And now filled with" Anything is possible, just Believe and TRUST God!!!

Be Inspired,
Be Encouraged!
