Just a little will do.

As I sit here this morning with tears in my eyes, I am thankful that I haven't been left behind. God does things in his own timing and what we think about it has no affect on him either way. If how we wanted to do things were the way; then why is it that he is our saviour. I've had to recover from things and have been at times at a loss for words. Sometimes not even being able to pray a single prayer because the damage of what I had gone through took that much out of me. But, the thought of just me being thankful filled the gap when I couldn't say it. I always want my worship and my thanks to be real and somehow along the way I got lost, but I didn't leave and that makes all of the difference in where he takes me next. For the first time in a long time I prayed and God allowed me to have the words to say and it wasn't even about me. I'm full this morning because it didn't take a long time and it didn't take much for me to get into his presence. He was there all of the time for such a time as this. I'm at my lowest, yet God found a way to lift me up. Do you ever consider what it takes to be as forgiving and merciful as he is? I never know how much it cost to see my sins up on the cross... Just a little, but it says a multitude. That's why I worship him, that's why I can be an open book and tell how he brought me out. He didn't have to do what he did in dying to save me or you, but he did. Be more than, be greater than, be just who he has called you to be. Whatever area of life you are in know that he loves you and you're worth far more than just your job or your title. He's turning it around just for you! Do more than the usual, be more than the expected. God is still in control.

IT AIN'T OVER.......

Today has been nothing but BLESSED! Funny when you’re face with adversity God allows all of those things to work out for your good. I always wondered when I would go through things it’s so intense and now, I’m coming to recognize I’m just built for it! Giving up can’t be the option right now in my life and it shouldn’t be in yours either! Issues, circumstances, whatever your thorn is there is nothing impossible for God to show you just how much he loves you and wants nothing but the best for you. No matter what “they” say, he has the final say! Victory isn’t always easy, so after the fight look around just to see who’s still standing. Some people don’t think that miracles happen, but yes they are still being performed, the unthinkable is still being accomplished, the unheard is still being spoken, and the unseen is still visible; even if they don’t want to see it. Because, IT AIN'T OVER TILL GOD SAYS IT'S OVER.... bless you and continue to live your dreams out loud!!! Continue to fight, pray, fast, believe, press, progress, move, read, intercede, trust, try, travail, give, go, but most of all continue to LIVE!!! I’m overwhelmed because the enemy put up a good fight but I got some come back in me! It ain’t over… Bishop Hope I love you for continuing to breath Gods love into my life.

Where it all started!!

I remember when this book of mine had not even been in circulation a month and this young woman whom I had known from our hometown of Albany, Ga said that she would be interviewing me to feature on her website. I was so excited and gracious to know that she would be setting time aside to get the word out about my new project. Halaveshia Hall who has a story of her own to tell is a great addition to the blog world with her blog Kaidys Face which is dedicated to her daughter who is affectionately named Kaidy. I traveled to Atlanta, Ga for this interview and didn't know once I arrived how God would move on my behalf just because of the connections we had in our lives. I get emotional thinking about the chance encounter we had that day after the interview and how she shared so much with me as we sat in Buckhead and took in lunch together. You're never too old to learn and boy do I learn a thing or two from this virtuous woman! While you check out her site check out the feature interview of yours truly!!!

I see a window...

When doors are open you walk through them, but when windows are open blessings are poured into them! I had another chance to be interviewed by a young woman by the name of Jay'l Harris and I for one will say that she shocked me with the questions she posed. I so enjoyed the interview, the phone call she gave me, and the fact that it all came from networking!! I have the key to my future and I am using every chance I get. God forever gets the credit for choosing me and my continued prayer is that he keeps me grounded and humble. I know too many people who have been blessed beyond measure and lose it all because once they got it they forgot to give God what he is due which is time, money, our minds, and our hearts. It's great to live life and enjoy the fruits of your labor but in order to have those things multiply you can NEVER forget!!!! I'm just saying, just give him what he's due and I promise what he will give you in return will blow your mind!!! I'm on fire and the only thing that can put me out is if God gives me a lighthouse!! So check out my feature on this talented bloggers website Ms. Jay'l Harris and tell me what you think!! Be blessed and know that you already are!

Being featured is such a blessing!!!!

Some say FAVOR is overrated, but I say to those people; You clearly don't know or believe in my GOD!!! I was honored and blessed to be featured on one of today's movers and shakers website. Mrs Kimberly Matthews-Hooker is her name and if you don't know her by now books are her game!!! This merchantship of a woman thought enough of little ole' me and offered me a space on her website. Now if that ain't a blessing running you down I don't know what is. I step out on faith daily and failure was deleted from my vocabulary and replaced with the word OVERCOMER! So while you are here on her website seeing all that this powerhouse of a woman has to offer, check out my feature and get to know more about your favorite Author Heather Johnson!

Be Encouraged and KNOW!!!

Today I'm encouraged to encourage others that despite your current situation and/or circumstance things are never as bad as they seem. I always look at the glass half full because things surely could have been the other way. Whatever goals, dreams, aspirations, ideas, or thoughts you may be having that seem unobtainable take the time and put it down on paper and I swear things will be more clear to u and that dream will be that much closer to coming true. "It only takes a spark to get a get a fire going"... This is a part from a song that I sang in the choir as a child and as I think back on it now it is so relevant and true. I am a testament that anything is possible and that regardless of the odds against you if it is meant for you no matter who is against it it will happen. I'm learning everyday that people who don't know can't grow so I don't get so upset anymore about those who don't believe. God couldn't have placed me in a better place at a better time than this. I am convinced that his will shall be done concerning my life and everything in it. Lately I have been led to help motivate, push, and encourage others and even if it's not about me that's OK. I'm just happy I could be apart of something great. We miss our blessings sometimes so busy worrying about ourselves, but I now know that I can be blessed just by the mere act of blessing someone else. So Continue to strive for greatness and though there will be rainstorms that may come to cloud your judgement, I'd rather get wet and go thru the storm than to stay dry and not experience anything that may help me later on in life. Just had to get this out and i hope all of the rambling at least triggered something in someone who is reading. Be blessed and know that you already are....

Funny Thing...

Funny thing is I hear people talking about helping others and promoting awareness but truthfully speaking it's all smoke and mirrors. Show me someone who is busting a move on their words and I will show you how greatness can happen. Smh Sad how we (ALBANIANS) can never come together for the greater good because we are only concerned with self. I try not to believe the "crabs in a bucket" theory I've heard about my city, but it's hard when the people who have the power and influence to make an impact choose not to because it wasn't their "idea" or they didn't have the epiphany themselves. Sad day, but what I will say one thing about it; their "no" doesn't mean it won't happen. That's y I continue to keep it going because i have faith in my city no matter how many BIG I's we have around here. Maybe they will get it, maybe they won't. One thing is certain they can't say I didn't warn them! I'd rather be conscious of my connections and how me being connected can change my outcomes versus what others opinions and personal feelings are. I'm just saying fam! But trust it gets no better than this because I don't give up so stay tuned... Love is what it does, So love the hell out of someone; even those who don't believe... Be blessed and know that you already are! Just like my partner for Team Action Lakeshia Broussard says " Action speaks louder than words" ... Until then, be motivated to leave a trail in someones life that can't be erased.
