Pieces of Me...

PRESS PLAY & READ!!!!

I haven't written in a while, but tonight I sit full of thoughts, questions, and needing to be in a better place mentally. I sometimes wonder how you know when its time to let go and walk away from people, things, and situations that just aren't good for you. Letting go sounds easy, but can be made hard by those things you allow to keep you.

I've never wallowed in my past to keep me stuck, nor have I been ashamed of it. Something about dealing with so much in life after the book; makes it seem easier to just go back to those familiar things. Even in my feeling this way I remember how happiness was so far away from me at one time. They say; "Life is what you make it" and even in our making it there are some things we just don't get away from.


My thing is loneliness and the lack of TRUE companionship in the form of a significant other.Hence the song choice for today. I've been so consumed with ministry, myself, and my daughter that sometimes I wonder... What if I never am found by that person? What if I live a life alone? If you don't hear any other part of the song I want you to hear the line... "I'm the most beautiful girl in the world".... I have to remind myself of that because if I am not sure and confident of who I am; I would need someone to validate (compliment) me. Yes, we all have those things that we ponder on (If you can tell the truth on you) in the dead of night when there is only you, your thoughts, and God. I always motivate, encourage, and push my readers to live and sometimes I forget to just be honest with myself.

Someone may feel the same as I do, but to that person I say continue to be hopeful that the future will bring better days and more happiness than you know what to do with. I'm not a quitter, nor do I give up easily. Sometimes its good to be open so that you can be free and have piece of mind. But, whatever you do; never underestimate the place that you're  in, because life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. So, remember to love like there is no tomorrow and always believe that God has more in store for you, even in your waiting....

How to Live Life on Purpose!!

Press Play & Read

Well, it's been some time since I last posted a blog entry and as usual the circumstances for which I have been absent have been truly out of my control and in Gods hands! If I told you all how incredibly favored I've been since we last chatted you would be amazed. All I can say is God is Good and I know him to do just what he said he would do. Life has happened to all of us and sometimes life gets the best of us, but today I am convinced that if it didn't happen how could we talk about where we used to be and how we survived those things that came to break or kill us? I made a conscious decision to live on purpose! Yes Living on purpose doesn't allow any room for any nay sayers, nor does it give way to fear or doubt. After the success of the benefit I had to get busy doing work in ministry. I can say that (and being honest when I say this) it becomes a bit much being a leader and there is so much expected of you. We go through so much on a day to day and sometimes we as leaders get drained, but in those times I'm learning that's when I pour out my heart to God and allow him to fill me, renew me, and replenish me to carry out the work. So many doors have opened for me in a short period of time, but somehow I have a feeling that it's all for me! Standing and waiting both require something. God has his own ways of testing us to see is we have learned and gained more wisdom. Thank God for even considering me for these blessings. So, here's what you do when you are ready to Live on Purpose! 1. Once you made your mind up about what direction life would go for you, stay consistent to that. 2. Get you a strong support system, Stay prayerful. 3. No matter how many people doubt you, say that you can't do it, and those that don't believe in you, and expected you to fail; continue to press forward. 4. Don't Look Back. 5. Lastly, keep God at the forefront of it all!!! I often say this; "The failure isn't in the attempt you made to reach your dreams, but in not doing anything at all to move towards them". Life is for living, so I'm living at all cost with Him in the lead. I've missed you guys so much, but I have had to be focused on business and that little love of mine named "Jaida". I pray that each of you have continued to be the blessings that you are and I will be checking in more often. Stay true to yourself and be happy.

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.
