  My heart is overflowing with a good theme;

  I recite my composition concerning the king;

​ My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

"Change Will Meet You In Motion"

6/23/2014

Yesterday Pastor Brian Pierce stated: "You've got to see it before you see it if you're ever going to see it!" Man, what a confirmation to me to narrow my focus on exactly what God has placed in my spirit. Life has a way of changing seasons on us & if we're not careful we can be like the children of Israel who couldn't appreciate the present glory because it didn't look like the former glory! Change is just ahead & we must remember that movement inspires movement. Your seed's been growing under the ground but you've gotta see it in FULL BLOSSOM/MOTION today. With that simply said, get positioned for the change that's soon to overtake you in the God sort of way. Shondo!

"I Press!"

5/6/2013

Fred Hammond really knocked the ball out of the park with this old school vibe. I was just thinking on how much it has been raining ALL DAY LONG and this song came to my spirit. The children of God have to constantly press on this walk that definately is "not sunshine every day." 

Truth be told, there are inescapable days when it not only rains, but pours and a mighty bitter cup at that. The Good News is that we have a Saviour whose name is Jesus, the name above all names who is able to help in times of conflict, chaos, confusion and calamity. At the preordained sound of the timer, He lovingly leads us to a safe place of refuge that allows us to be renewed, rejuvinated, replenished and recalibrated for the next leg of the journey. 

Therefore, Beloved, rest along the journey if you must, but even when tempted, don't quit! Pull out your umbrellas, slip on your rain boots, button your raincoats and PRESS on through the storm! Press inspite of, press because of, press anyhow, press anyway, press regardless of, PRESS until either "IT" or  "YOU" changes. Selah.

"Let's Shuck Some Corn!"

3/7/2013

As a kid, my Mom & Grandmom used to pick and shuck corn. I used to run when they brought the bushel barrels home because I did NOT want to see any worms! I never once gave thought to the planting, waiting and growth process.  All I knew was that I wanted my corn cleaned, cooked and with butter on it at the dinner table! That was my natural, kiddie perspective. 

(Mark 4:28) says: For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.  EVERYTHING'S a process. According to the Word of God... if we scatter the seed, they will sprout, grow and yield something BIG! With that being said, I'm all grown up now and ready to shuck some corn. I've got my sickle ready... what about you?

"Destiny's Location"

1/29/2013

Many say that DESTINY is where you end up. I challenge that destiny is not necessarily where you end up. Rather, destiny is where you START for it is embedded in and assigned to you. The Father spoke to Jeremiah saying, "BEFORE I formed you in the womb, I knew you; BEFORE you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations (Jer 1: 4-5)."

Today as you navigate through your day, know that God is with you in whatever you may face, be it mountain top or valley low. Life's pendulum swings both ways, but God remains the same.  Just as He was with Jeremiah... He is also with you. So go ahead on and walk that walk with your Called self. The Life -Giver and Master Healer has already provided everything you need for the journey. Selah.

"Check Your Curb Appeal"

1/18/2013

3 Questions Concerning Christian Curb Appeal: 
  1. What does your Christian curb look like from "a street drive -by?"
  2. Does the outside appear so loved/cared for that it makes a buyer think, "Good God A'mighty?!"
  3. Is there a sweet, fragrant drawing that makes someone want to see/know more?

Whenever I've been on a search for a property to purchase, curb appeal has been a big draw for me due to my extremely visual nature. While watching an earlier episode of HGTV, I heard a lot about the importance of curb appeal. It's so crucial because it can either make or break a deal before a potential buyer ever even enters the home. I don't know about you but when house hunting I immediately know when I want to get out of the car to see more OR when I want to keep right on driving because the advertisement has been deceptive! 

No matter if it involves ushering new souls into the kingdom, building new relationships, buying new homes or connecting with new business associates, the winning draws are the same. We must make very sure that we are attractive, approachable and accessible in our presentations. Human nature demands it as sight is such a powerful tool so let's be ready to deliver and seal the deal!

"Prepare to Prosper"

1/15/2013

Now who in the world wouldn't like to be riding along and see a sign like this?! This is only an image but we need to prepare for it to be our reality in both the spiritual and the natural because it really can happen! As a matter of fact the possibilities are endless because it's the heart of God for your life according to 3 John 2: "Beloved, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

So let's all remember that PROSPERITY is far more than just money... greenbacks... cold hard cash. It supersedes material possessions for it works from the inside out not the outside in.  I want to define it as "Total life well-being that is rooted and grounded in Christ and His righteousness." Sounds much like Mathew 6:33 which advises: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." In other words, whatever you want, God's got it. Wow!  He's got it and doesn't mind releasing it, but we cannot bypass paying the required travel toll! 

I do believe that you have it in you to indeed take the pre-ordained "Prosperity - NEXT EXIT" route so keep a check on these highway markers and you'll be fine: 

1) Attitude - concerning the journey itself determines ALTITUDE
2) Accountability - concerning the handling of each instruction determines PROMOTION
3) Achievement - reaching the destination in spite of highway construction determines REWARDS

Blessns & Welcome to your next  assigned exit called, "PROSPERITY!"
