The more I think about how that declaration I made seven months ago is manifesting in my life today in areas that seemed impossible or resistant to change, the more excited I get about walking in the fullness of all God has spoken to me about my life. I simply made an adjustment in my confession of faith and positioned myself to receive from God not only in my finances but in every area of my life. Today I can honestly say my life does not look the way it looked seven months ago when I dared to take God at His word and align my confession with His word.

Don't Look at me Now
I'm writing this blog from today's perspective-meaning concerning those things that are going on in my life right now, even though the video was created about seven months ago. If you had told me then that what I'm experiencing now would actually be happening in my life I would have said "yeah, right!" That just goes to show you that things, situations and circumstances are subject to change.

Today I can honestly say my life does not look the way it looked seven months ago when I dared to take God at His word and align my confession with His word.
In today's video I talk about a specific event that led to my proclamation to "Don't look at me now" because when you see me later things would not look the same. How could I boldly declare such a statement? Because I knew that once my words aligned with God's will for my life, change for the better was inevitable. I pray you see an area(s) of your own life where even the smallest of changes will bring positive results to your life. Enjoy the Journey!

From my Heart
It's no secret that I desire to be married. Over the years, my friends have often encouraged me to stand and believe that "one day my Prince will come". To not give up on the fact that I truly want a Godly marriage. And even though at times I've wanted to just throw in the towel and give up hope that there really is a Prince for me, at one time or another, they've each inspired me to hold fast to my confession and BELIEVE.
As the years have gone by, I've often watched the ups and downs of my friend's marriages and at times wondered how they could stand and endure this thing called Marriage. It seemed like when it was good, it was very good. However, when it was bad, it still could get worse. And that "worse" is the deciding factor that shakes the foundation of the very marriage we all hoped, believed and prayed for.
Today's video is my heartfelt plea to my friends who are "going through" in their marriages. They've been a source of encouragement to me and I so wanted to encourage them but I was at a place where I was limited as to what I could do to change the situation and had no words to say to calm the circumstance. What I could do was pray for them, believe with them and encourage them From my Heart.

Spirit and Truth
Today I watched a YouTube video commentary about a "good girl" celebrity hooking up with a "bad boy" celebrity. The host was basically dealing with all the negative feedback people were giving the "good girl" for hooking up with the "bad boy". The host commented on how people only know the image portrayed by celebrities and that maybe they each discovered the "real" person in each other and that's why they are together. Not for publicity-positive or negative- but because they want to be together.
When it comes down to living life on purpose, you must choose if you want to walk in the "real" of being you in every area of life or just the perception that you are "real" in order to be accepted by others. I've chosen to be as real and true to myself in my everyday life and my interactions with others. That doesn't mean that I'm always understood but I'm open to communicate so that a win-win situation could arise to improve the quality of the relationship.

In today's video, I discovered the "real" person behind the facade of the person I was beginning to think of as a friend. When faced with a perception that seemed totally against what this person believed I was saying, I was attacked and totally written off as evil when in fact, just taking the time to understand the meaning of mere words could have saved a budding friendship. Even during times like these I'm determined to Enjoy the Journey!

It's not Enough
Often times in life there comes a point when you have to be honest with yourself about who you are, what you have and what you want. I was at just such a place when I told God "it's not enough!" That there was so much more for me to experience than what I currently was experiencing. I wanted MORE!
I wanted everything He'd promised me in His word. I had come to a place in my life where I was honest with myself as well as God, that I wanted more in my life. All that He has available for me, I want to experience in my life. And in order to experience more, I had to take God at His word; not my circumstances, limitations, doubts or fears.
Where are you in your level of expectations? Are you experiencing more than enough in your life? Or are you just settling for whatever comes your way; you'll be happy with that? I want to inspire and encourage you to believe for more: not just for yourself, but so you may be a blessing to others as well. There is much more available to you than what you are experiencing right now: just BELIEVE!

Lead or Be Led
Looking back over my life, I've come to realize that in many ways, I am a Leader. Even though sometimes I want to blend into the background, that's not always possible in certain situations. At other times, the decision must be made of how willing I am to being led even though I am a leader.
Being a leader is more than barking out orders at people and expecting complete obedience on their part. Regardless to whether or not you lead the project or are just a part of the team, being the leader means you have to know when to operate from that leadership position or take on the responsibility as a teammate. To keep the ultimate goal of being successful in your endeavors regardless of your position or title.
This months video is about recognizing the need for good leadership and recognizing good leadership abilities in others. The position I found myself in when someone I led ultimately wanted to be the leader and my reaction. I hope you will evaluate your leadership style and understand the importance of working effectively and efficiently regardless to whether or not you lead or are being led.

Fear Not!
I am at a place in my life where I can now embrace love, a man and a relationship. I can see how it's supposed to work, feel and be. For so many years I've fancied myself in love but I didn't truly have it on the inside. What I did have was surface feelings magnified to appear deep but was truly shallow.
I am grateful to God that He prepares the way before me. He informed me to prepare for marriage and although I've said it way too many times in the past, this time I know that I am ready to love and be loved. There will be no need to look for hidden agendas and motives because God brought us together and there's work that needs to be done. We are actually on the same team and are in it to win it. There's a whole world (our world) that need us to win so that we can be examples for them.

I did this ... Video
Back in August 2015, God revealed to me that I was not prepared for my marriage. I blogged about it (check out my blog titled I Did this to Myself 9/26/2015) as the revelation unfolded in my life. Today's video is the companion to that blog.
This is the very first video I created, so be gentle with me in your criticism. I really thought this video would be for my viewing only as a reminder of what God said and my response to His word. Nevertheless, if I can help someone else see where they are missing the mark, I'll gladly share my journey with them.
To briefly summarize the video, it contains the Rhema word from God. My process of making the necessary changes needed to correct and improve on what was revealed to me. And the catalyst for when things started to unravel and I got off course and maybe in my heart gave up on receiving what I desired.
