Trying To Be Me... 2018

Image
Hi family, I came across a great man, Willie Moore Jr's message for 2018. Besides the fact that I felt like he peeked a lil in my life, the advice and testimony he gave was just real. And I wanted to share it with you. Here is where you can follow him on all his social media too. www.WillieMooreJr.org @pwillie1 and @wmjshow twitter @williemoorejrlive facebook Remember family, 2018 is about you. The real you. I'm trying to be my 100% authentic me. Not that I don't care what people think of me, but my actions will not be held back because of what someone may think. My goals cannot be softened because someone may think I look crazy. And what I know that God says TO me won't be doubted because someone says "Are you sure God told you that?". If we can all get there (without the "extra" attitudes) we can all be so much better individually. Yesterday I challenged you all. Today I challenge US. I know God wants to bless the REAL me. Not the me...

Whew!!! Feels So Goooood!!!

Hey Family, I was just having a conversation with someone about life.... I mentioned that not everything that feels good, is good for you. The thing is that it's so hard for worldly people to understand that concept. You see, today's world has become so accepting of.... well, literally, EVERYTHING. And it's easy to roll with what the world accepts because if you do, then you are always with the "Majority" of people... You see, there is a large group of people that feel that eating fast food everyday, as one meal is the greatest. I mean, there was a time that I was in that group. I had to have my sausage, egg & cheese croissant and coffee from a certain place every day. Well, it was goooooood!!!!! But there was a very large group that was in agreement with me. There is a large group of people that feel good getting home after work and cracking open that beer. Then they could have as many as they wanted for the rest of the night. As long as they could get ...

What If....

Hi Family, I was browsing around the internet while I had some downtime at work. Seeing what’s on the news and on Yahoo, when I came across what I considered as a funny title to a news article. A man had apparently tried to rob a store but his “plan” was foiled he ended up locked inside the store alone. That’s clearly nothing funny, but what the title said was that the man took his gun and he shot at the door. When shooting at the door didn‘t work, he turned to….. prayer.  I read the entire article and it stated that there was a video, so of course, (as I’m giggling) I’m thinking “did he really just stop and pray???” So of course I did what any other curious person would do. I stopped to watch all 7 minutes of the video. I had a range of thoughts and comments going through my mind as I began watching. “Wow! This dude really just waltzed his skinny little tail in there and is about to rob the place!!??”, “Wow, that’s a really brave lady. Just up and said no like that with a gun...

Happy New...!!!

Family!!!! We made it!!!!!!!!! We got thru 2017 didn't we!!!!! Whether it be By Grace or by the skin of our teeth, WE MADE IT!! I spent the bulk of 1/1/2018 in bed. I slept until 11am for the first time in a VERY long time. And even after that, I just didn't have a desire to get up. It wasn't a depressed type of feeling. I just wanted to take the day to relax. Exhale. You see, there were many times in 2017 where I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. It was literally nothing but Faith, Praise and Worship that carried me through many days. And, to be completely transparent, I doubted. Many times. It was a great many days I wondered "what in the world God?? What is this for?? You have GOT to be kidding me?? God i'm sure I can't take anymore.". But you know what? I made it. AND SO DID YOU!!! That really felt like a real example of God not giving me more than I could bear. I truly felt like I was done, but each time I was pushed to the edge, I didn...

Hey Fam!! I hope you all had a great day! I will tell you, for me it was ONE OF THEM DAYS (in my Monica voice for my older R&B people)!!  You see, I had a huge project that got dropped on my desk yesterday. Things were done wrong, balls were dropped, and this account was a HOT MESS. Well, the problem wasn't the work that was done wrong or missed, the problem was the Client Relationship. You see, it wasn't just one single account. It was actually 5. And then there was a lot of things that were done, therefore, it was no longer only 5 accounts. It was actually 17 ACCOUNTS AFFECTED!! Let me tell you, coming up with a game plan on how to get this all fixed by the end of business Friday (as in tomorrow) was going to prove to be a challenge. Gotta love Year-End business activity. Well, by the end of the day yesterday, God had given me an organized game plan ready to execute for this morning. All I needed was some help. Well, little did I know that the Lord had already inspire...

Happy Birthday Jesus!!

Hi Family, For the last 2 days, I've been realizing some things. And today, even as I type this, it's hitting me like a ton of bricks. To the point where I keep wandering around my house just trying to hold back tears. Just not able to quite find a quiet spot to have a moment with the Lord. You see, so many years ago, There was a conference held in the heavens. A conference meant to decide on a solution to our sins..... My sins..... As I think back to when I first realized the true meaning of Easter about 4 years ago until today, I am able to connect so many dots. I think about lots of moments in the bible that overwhelm me to the point of tears. And Resurrection Day (Easter) was my most impactful... Today, it hit me that I have a purpose. You have a purpose. My children have a purpose. Your children have a purpose. Why? Because we were born in God's image. But why is that so special? I mean, we'v heard it a million times..... What's special is that Jesus had ...

Dare to Dream!

Hi Family! So I was just talking to a friend a couple of hours ago about all the things we've done for our kids that encourage them to dream and give them permission to dream without restrictions. Christmas time seems to always be that time where adults and kids alike tend to go out their way and try to believe. I remember a Christmas when my children were much younger I went all out after they had gone to bed. I brought out all of the presents and strategically placed them all over our living room. Packages and ribbons and bows everywhere!! That for me is pretty normal, but that year the kids and I made sure to make the cookies and warm milk for Santa. We were even thoughtful enough to leave a magical glittery treat outside for the reindeer as well. After all of it was set up, my ex-husband crept out the back door to the front of the house, with all sorts of bells and wearing hard boots. He made sure to make joyful Santa and reindeer sounds all over the house, especially by t...
