Let Today Be The First Day You Fight Back...

Press Play & Put Your Dukes Up

Great Friday to you all readers!!!! I got up this morning with an urgency to get this post to you all. Sometimes when you feel like all odds are against you and all bets are off; remember the fight that's been lying dormant in you. Sometimes we have to activate the one thing in our life that won't and has never changed, The Word! What better way to fight the enemy, haters, this life that tries to take you out at times, the job and the people on it who look down at you because of your steady elevation, the people who won't see your change because they continue to try to keep you in your past! This list can go on and on.


John 10:10 says; The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. So what makes you think that it will just go away. When you've had about all you can take and you have either gone through enough or lost too much; you will begin to fight. The fight you will have will be for all of those words, actions, or things that were meant to kill you and your weapon will be with the word of life! The scripture goes on to say; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. We have to realize that nothing God gives us comes without a price nor a fight. I got up ready for battle this morning because I won't allow the enemy to take away what I have cried, fasted, and prayed for and better yet worked for! So, If you have come back in you like I think you do; I believe you will square up and prepare to take a stand. The word says in Psalm 119:105; Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. So people walk with assurance that it is well.

Today is Free For All Friday and as always I have a hot one for you all! In the words of Mali Music; " I am a bride yes, God can mold me; yes I'm saved and my body's holy, Yes I was guilty; but Christ died for me. Don't believe the lie y'all the devils' phony. He just mad cuz he cant hold me no mo' God opened doors he cant close tryin' take me out yeah he came close I gotta word now y'all and I'm throwin' bows." So with that being said; lace up, check your swag in the mirror, and pat yourself on the back because you lived to fight another day! In the end you Win! Stay focused and enjoy your weekend!

Let Today Be The First Day You SMILE...

PRESS PLAY & READ

Hello!!! Once again I have been kept away from my most favorite people, my readers!!! Never fear; I'm here! I pray that you all have been enjoying life and all that it has to offer. Sometimes life can give you the one-two punch and try to knock you out, but you have to remember that it happens to the best of us. Some people don't know what it's like just to be happy and smile and some of us have gone through so much that smiling is a challenge within itself. I have a remedy for that! The best pick me up (for those who may be experiencing the holiday blues or just have been through so much that you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel)  is to start thinking how bad things could be, how your children's joy makes you happy, how the people you love always seem to be there for you, and if you can't find anything tangible; just remember that you opened your eyes this morning,  had the activity of your limbs, and got another chance to live! I won't hold you all long, but the holidays are here so enjoy your families and be safe. Today's Free For All Jam is an oldie but a goodie! Maybe by the time you finish reading this I will have brought back some fond memories and put a smile on that beautiful face. SMILE  it's contagious and besides it just makes you feel good!

It's HUMP Day!!!

Good morning! I've had a great week so far. Sunday was very inspirational as well as trying. A classmate of mine passed away; a mother, a daughter, a sister,  a friend, a joy to have ever met. Angela Suttles will be missed. Went to service with expectancy and God showed up unlike no other. something about when you are at your lowest, how God comes in and reminds you of the treasure you are. I'm thankful today just for the opportunity at getting another day to wake up and kiss my daughter and tell her "I love you". Sometimes we take for granted that in a second, an instance everything can change. Monday was my birthday and as I celebrated life my heart went out to those children who lost their mother, that mother who lost her daughter, and those siblings who lost their sister. I realize death is inevitable, but the process of healing from it has its struggles and setbacks. Don't ever get so comfortable with life that you forget to be thankful for what it is God has given you; even the little things. I'm constantly growing and with that I have a better understanding of the way my life should be. I recently dealt with losing a relationship that I held dear to my heart and I couldn't for the life of me understand why. After praying and seeking direction and insight about it all I found that we lose things in life sometimes for the good of us and where we are headed. Loss either breaks you or strengthens you. Remember who you are and don't lose sight of Him even in your storms. Live, Life, Love, and Laugh.... There is a time and a season for everything. It's Wednesday people, continue to chase pavements. Smile it gets better from here!

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!
