Hi everyone it’s been a while!! I got through the launch and published the book!! It has been pretty surreal through the whole experience!! Couldn’t have done it without lots of you!! I’m thankful for you!!

Definitely been a growing and stretching time!! Don’t be afraid of pain, you can’t grow without it…. I can’t even begin to explain some of the experiences that I have been through with this!! It has been sooo exciting!! I had a “Best Seller” banner for many days and still staying up there in a #2 and #3 rank in many categories!!

Yesterday I got busy and got rolling with the next one!! I have to keep moving forward!! The technology was the biggest obstacle for me sometimes but seriously God showed up every step of the way!! Then you have to just let it all go and keep on keeping on!!

Keep your dreams and your destiny alive…it is what you were created to do and it’s what you will feel passionate about!! Nothing can hold you back if you just plunge in and do it!!

I lived so many days being frustrated because I had some things to say and needed to say them!! Now!! I said them and I have more to say!!

Keep moving forward❤️

Seriously, you can do it❤️

Don’t listen to naysayers❤️

You got it❤️

No excuses❤️

See you again soon❤️

Wow do you ever see how what we expect to happen can get in the way of what truly happens. We have to learn to turn our expectations off. That is so very hard to do!!

We have a picture in our mind of things going a certain way and getting excited about it, only to have it go a different way. Sometimes we get surprised for the good, sometimes we get surprised for the bad.

We just have to learn to roll with life, and roll with things in life. Just because something SEEMS bad for us doesn’t mean that it IS bad for us. Just because we seem to be held in a hard pattern for a season doesn’t mean we will be there forever.

God is large and in charge of everything!! He can make a way where there is no way!! He can make something out of nothing!! He has done it many times. We always need to stay in relationship with Him and hear His still small voice. Even in the face of adversity and opposition!! He is the voice of truth.

We don’t have to act like everything is fine if it isn’t. We have to learn how to deal with things!! We have to learn how to face reality but have faith also!! Sometimes it seems so hard to understand how to do that. It’s a fine line to act like something doesn’t exist (which is denial) and to actually deal with what is going on and have faith doing it. Make sense?

An example is, if your body needs healing, you don’t just say that the illness is not there, you do everything possible to help bring your body to healing and trust God for the things that you can’t possibly do. Sometimes He shows up and zaps that thing gone, sometimes He doesn’t. That is when we just have to trust that He knows more about our life than we do…Lots of times just that trust can bring healing in many ways.

Many times there are solutions in life that we don’t understand. We want it to go one way but God is showing us another way. I encourage you to just keep listening to the voice of truth. Don’t give up!! He will make a road in The wilderness, He will make a way where there is no way. He will provide a way of escape!!

Don’t give up❤️

He will make a way ❤️

He knows all❤️

We don’t ❤️

Enjoy your day ❤️

See you soon❤️

So glad that one of the things I have learned in all of my calamities and “storms” of life is to have peace while going through. I can’t say that I don’t have some feelings, and I can’t say that it’s not scary and rocky, but it is well with my soul.

That’s one of the best things about having a Heavenly Father, He takes the load off. If your Heavenly Father isn’t doing that for you, you don’t understand Him. He’s like a good, good Father with open arms. He’s not mad at you, He loves you.

That’s why it’s so good to rest in Him and be peaceful in the midst of the storm. It calms everything down…it’s calms you down and everyone around you down.

I’m really grateful to have learned those tools in recovery. I don’t have to fix everything, I don’t have to worry about everything. I can back off from things that don’t serve me well. There are solutions in life.

As I get ready to launch my book, there are obstacles every day. I try to focus on all the things I am learning and the things I have accomplished instead of the things that are hard and seeming to trip me up. It’s amazing that I’ve even got this far.

I have found that if I am aligned properly and doing what I am called to do, there is peace, peace that passes all understanding. There’s no place that I would rather be. I would have never made it without it. It’s for anyone, for free.

I hope that you can sit down today and let it all go and let God do His thing in you. You are worth it and He loves you.

Be still…❤️

He’s got this…❤️

You don’t have to do it all…❤️

Just rest…❤️

See you soon❤️

Negativity is like a thief. It can steal your dreams, it can steal your actions, it can steal your life. If you start saying negative things about a situation, you can start thinking worse and worse about it.

I’m not meaning that we can’t be honest about things and how things really are. We have to do that… the Bible even says to “Test the Spirits” about things. That means that some things are just not right, some situations are just not right. We do have to be honest. But we DON’T have to get on a roll and start going on and on about all of the negative things going on in a situation.

We actually need to face it, feel it, and forget it and move on. That’s how we learn to conquer things. We don’t carry a big bag of negativity around with us through our life about every bad thing that has ever happened to us. We need to choose to not be a victim and not think like a victim!!

We have to learn to turn a negative to a positive. We can do that!! It’s not always the easiest thing to do, but we do have choices. Sometimes it doesn’t feel very comforting to be the big person and let negative things go, but it is so, so worth it in the long run!! Positivity breeds more positive things and the same with negativity.

We have to choose life!! We have to choose what’s best for us!! We don’t have to be perfect in doing this.. it’s progress not perfection!! We have to start someplace just noticing what our thoughts are and take them captive so they can’t steal things from us!!

I encourage you to start today!! Chase those negative, nagging thoughts out of your mind and out of your day!! You are worth it!! You are worth good things!! You are worth the best!! Don’t give up on positive dreams that you have had, that haven’t taken place yet…write them down!! Pray one more time for it to happen!! It is never time to give up on anything that God put in our heart!!

Keep knowing that you can do it!! No matter how big or how small!! Don’t let those negative thoughts steal your joy!! Enjoy the journey!! Success is not only the destination, it’s more about the things you learn along the way!!

Keep learning❤️

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn❤️

Its a win-win no matter what❤️

You are almost there❤️

See you soon!!❤️

 

Just thinking a lot about the verse Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” This scripture is really something to think I about. If you keep dreaming and dreaming for things and they never come about, you finally give up.

I wonder how many people that live out on the streets kept trying and trying and dreams kept falling through so they finally just stopped trying. They finally said, “Ok, I don’t even want a home anymore! I don’t care if I have to live in the cold, at least I won’t be expecting anything and won’t be let down again.”

That is sad and I could see some of that in myself. The battle would get so hard sometimes it was just easier not to expect anything or even ask for anything. The bad part about being that way is that you stagnate…your creativity starts dwindling, your passion about life starts dwindling.

We have to keep fighting for change and things to look forward to. Even if you go do anything just a little different than normal to keep moving forward!! Go to different places, different scenery, anything to bring about change in your life.

We can’t expect someone else to do it for us, we have to produce change ourselves. We have to keep ourselves (with God’s help) from falling into awful ruts. Some people have no problem taking great care of themselves but others have to fight to remember that they matter and are important and have dreams that are important and matter in this world.

I am so grateful to be getting some momentum in some of these things finally and moving forward!! We have to be grateful everyday for things in our life because it is easy for stinkin thinking to enter in and hold us back from moving into our destiny!!

Keep your eyes open, don’t get distracted!! Keep your love, joy and forgiveness going. Don’t get isolated!! There is a big world out there and many things that you can be so passionate about!! Leave your footprint wherever you go! You can change the atmosphere around you by just being you.

Keep moving forward👍🏼

Don’t stagnate❤️

Do the last thing God told you to do❤️

You aren’t a mistake❤️

You aren’t an accident ❤️

Keep on keeping on❤️

See you soon❤️
