2015 - The year to Engage!

-
Hey there!  You, don't you know that God has something in store for us that is world-changing in its scope! If we fully grasp what God is calling us to, we will be filled with more purpose, power, and passion than we have ever achieved before….But we must Engage!

Every single thing we have experienced in our past was meant to be. (Deep Breath)

And every experience in our past has brought us to this time and this place. It is in this place we find our resumes and biographies have gathered dust and our accomplishments are only past experiences and memories. 

NOW…is the time to recognize that moving forward, walking into our next, receiving the greater isn’t about something we are to do, but it’s about ‘the someone’ we were destined to BECOME!      

2014 for many was a hard year, a lonely year, a pressing year, a strengthening year and yes a painful year.

But God!   Yet He always has a purpose for every pain.  So we dare not get rid of the pain before we have learned what it was sent to teach us.

Maybe God just wanted you!  All of you.  He didn’t want just a piece of you or the leftovers but all of you.

One of Webster’s definition for the word engage is  to get and keep (someone's attention, interest, etc.).  

So, it seems 2014 was about learning how to fully engage the power of the Holy Spirit. 

2015…Occupy, Secure, Attract, Pledge, Betroth, Fight ....ENGAGE!!!

 What did 2014 teach you to Engage?

Do you know your WHY?

This is not just a catchphrase for the next, “Tens Steps to a Better You!” conference!  Knowing your "Why" is Critical !   Why are you doing what you do?  Why are you working at “that job” ? And please don’t say for money! Why are you an entrepreneur?   Why do you spend so much time at the gym?  Why did you choose to serve in ministry? What is your Why?  Is your Why or your actions stuck behind the dreadful:  “I should”,  "they are expecting me to”,  “If I don’t do it then who will?”    How about this one, “It brings me satisfaction”!   Well, that sounds like a good reason, doesn’t it?  No, it is not!   Because when the satisfaction runs out; when it becomes too much trouble to maintain or you realize it was a temporary placebo... you will give it up!  Now you have lost the one thing in life you will NEVER get back. TIME! Time is the most precious commodity you have. Don’t was...

An Open Letter to My Mother - Revised 2-21

Mom, it has been 15 years since you passed on to glory, and this year it feels like yesterday.  I still reach for the phone to call you about a new restaurant, a new outfit, and your new great-granddaughters. This world is so different now.  Of the many things I miss,  your counsel is at the top.  There is so much rage in the hearts of people. As a nurse, you worked for over 30 years in the mental health profession.  I remember you often said, if the government did not address mental health in America we be looking at a total breakdown of society.  Mom, we have mass killings in movie theaters, nightclubs, and even elementary schools.  The first question asked, “Was it a hate crime?” Well it wasn't love! This world is so different now.  There is this thing the young women are always talking about: Haters/Hating.  I don't understand it; I didn't grow up seeing this.  I remember Aunt Martha, Mrs.Snow, Mrs. Ivey, and your friend of o...

Wounded Woman Warriors

My favorite action movie of all time is ‘Rambo 1 st Blood’ .   Rambo was some kind of warrior!  One that they had never encountered before.   What I remembered the most, this warrior was in the fight of his life, not because he decided he had an enemy, but they decided “he” was their enemy! He became wounded so many times during this fight, yet he could only stop long enough to stitch up his own wounds.   Far from being healed,  he knew he had to find a safe place to stitched himself up long enough to fight another day! Women, once a month we have a experience be it moderate or severe how to physically and emotionally “endure”, “manage” or "ignore" PAIN. It is just how we are created. "Wounded Women Warriors” , I must say there is a time we must come in from the battle.  Not just to stitch up your wounds, but it is time to really heal.     Why is this so critical?  Because many of us are in active ministries, vocations or leading...
