Greetings!

I’m not sure if you noticed, or even if I should point it out, but I have changed the name of my blog back to the original name. I originally started this blog because of my book, “Let My Life Be A Testimony,” and then somewhere along the line I started to feel like something was wrong with that. It was almost like I was shamelessly plugging my book every time someone came onto my site. Ok…I know that doesn’t make any sense at all, but just bear with me. I feel like all of a sudden I have been awakened to this revelation that has been there all the time, and didn’t see. God has blessed me more than I can even tell you. When I wrote my book, God not only gave me every word to write, but He also gave me the strength to let it go.
I have always felt that there was something wrong with selling something so personal. “Let My Life Be A Testimony” was like my baby. God allowed me to give birth to a dream I had held in my heart as far back as I can remember. But, what I was seeing is not what God was trying to show me. God was showing me who I could be in Him when I let myself go, and I was seeing someone who wasn’t worthy enough to even tell anyone I had written a book.

But, here’s the thing…God knew even that. He knew that I would drag my feet not wanting to be noticed. He knew that I would stand in the background… watching other people live out their dreams wishing I could do the same. So, He has been slow-walking me into my purpose… teaching me how to appreciate all of those things about myself that drive me crazy in other people. He has been showing me “me,” and it hasn’t been easy. What I have been seeing as procrastination is really not procrastination at all…it’s fear.
Knowing that gives me hope, because now I know how to fight.

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)
Until next time…

Be blessed
