My Testimony: God Spoke To Me Today

-

I'm currently sitting in Barnes and Nobles. What use to be my favorite place in the whole world, now has become a place from my distant past.  It didn’t matter how bad of a mood I was in I could always come here to relax.  I would get a coffee and plop my butt down with 5 books in front of me to escape my reality.  It was my place of peace until one day some man tried to holla at me.  To me it was simple.  Can’t you see I’m busy reading? But no this man couldn’t just leave it alone.  He looked at it as a missed opportunity if he didn’t speak.  He stole me away from my place serenity with his wack lines and utter annoyance.  FYI- Nice dude but I had to hit him with the, “I’m sorry but I’m not interested” line. Ever since that day my Barnes and Nobles experience has never been the same. That is, until today. 

I had missed my appointment at the Apple store so I decided to grab a coffee and make the best of it.  To my surprise the only Starbucks was next door inside the Barnes and Nobles.  I did the usual.  I grabbed my coffee and started to skim through the numerous aisles.  For some strange reason, I felt too lazy to even think of lifting my Starbucks coffee in the direction of a book.  I use to love romance novels or a good self improvement book but not today.  As I walked through both levels of the book store it hit me that I wanted to find the religious aisle. As I walked over I immediately felt a rush of emotions fall upon me.   My heart took me straight to one tiny book. It was almost hiding. I smiled as I picked it up.  As I opened the book I started to cry right there in that book store.  My Holy Spirit was telling me there's a message in this book for me to read.  The book is titled, 'Who Speaks To Your Heart'. I have been praying for God to speak to me over an issue in my life and low-&-behold the page I go to explains just how to handle the situation. 

Every word I read as I skimmed through books opened up my heart to so many thoughts. Things I haven’t thought about in months.  There was so much power that followed behind every word. In a matter of seconds so many thoughts ran through my mind as to how I can make my life better. How I can show God in my life more clearly. I had to sit down so fast because the outpouring of God was too much to handle standing up. I am grateful for this moment for it shows just how magnificent our creator is. 

I bought the book of course but only after I sat down to write this to you. This is an experience of how God moves through my life at times.  How does he move through yours?

I Am Rich

I am rich in Faith. I am rich in Good Health. I am rich in Love. I am rich in Freedom. I am rich in Happiness. I am rich in Peace. I am rich in Family. I am rich in Friends. I am rich in heart. God has given us so many Blessings. Everywhere your eye can see there are Blessings for us to enjoy.   Such Blessings include the sun to warm our skin, the breeze to blow our hair, wonderful smells to enlighten our senses, stories to warms our hearts, music to move our feet, and food to speak to our souls.   Why on earth would anyone think of themselves as anything less than rich? The answer is simple.   There are many differentiations of the term rich.   For example, the definition of rich is to have a great deal of money or assets.   According to the Wall Street Journal, a net worth of $1.4 Million will put you in the top 5% of Americans.   Yet, the wealthy today view this figure as chump change.   This just goes to show you we all view being rich differently.   I decided to

Today is my last day with WBTV

This is a bitter sweet moment for me.   I am very sad to leave behind a family here at WBTV.   Every single person has welcomed me into the newsroom with open arms.   Each person has taught me something along the way whether they literally sat down and verbalized it to me or simply displayed it in their character.   With so much talent in one building I must say I am truly honored to be amongst such an amazing group of individuals.   I will miss the entire crew- THANK YOU for everything! The reason for my departure is to begin a new venture with Fox Charlotte.   I have been offered a dream job as a meteorologist and reporter. More importantly, this position is aligned with opportunity for growth so I immediately blurted out, “Where do I sign” (lol). I am excited to enter unfamiliar territory for I am a lover of knowledge.   I have officially started reading my first weather book titled, “The Atmosphere”.   In life there are times God will speak to us loudly and boldly.   This

I Need Good Lovin

Picture Provided By Level21 Magazine.  Everyone needs love.  However, I constantly meet new, amazing people who are all in need of love & expecting to find it in a lover! Please don't hate me for what I'm about to say, but my heart is screaming--  You must love yourself first, no one can do it for you. Oh my goodness, it kills me to see a young, vibrant woman jump out of a relationship immediately run straight into another one.  It saddens me to hear someone cry about wanting & needing love but not willing to do the work themselves.  The best and most concrete form of love is to first love yourself.  There is no man or women in the world that can love you better.  We need to stop hoping & praying that this new person who is going to love the socks off of your feet will be able to give the kind of love you need for all time.  This is one main reason relationships do not last. We are putting too much weight on our lovers to make us happy.  You must have your
