How to Grow Closer to God

Image
One of the biggest questions I receive all the time is, " How can I strengthen my faith? "  It makes me chuckle because I did not grow up in the church and I too, remember years ago looking at others wondering how they know so much scripture and wanting to pray like them. If these are thoughts you have, one of the most beautiful aspects about where you are is that you're actually wanting more.  That alone is enough for me to start dancing and screaming about how great God is!!!!!  Now, the true answer to this question with regards to growth in any area in life simply comes down to taking baby steps.  You cannot try to read the entire Bible and BOOM now you're a Preacher.  No, the scripture is not read, it's lived. I've learned that my daily walk with Christ can be broken down into four steps: Intentionality Sensitivity Obedience Boldness When you love someone you want to be with them.  Spending intentional time with Jesus is key to growing...

I Am Uniquely Qualified

I always knew deep down inside that I wanted to write a book.  However, the infamous question kept popping up in my mind, "What are you going to write about J?"  It all came to me a a few years later when I was in the storm of my life.  I was lost and left hopeless.  I felt stuck, alone and wanted to give up.

I knew there had to be more out of life.  I didn't want to just live, I wanted to thrive. I was destined to figure it out even if it cost me everything.  The last day of my job was the day I started writing my first book, "Uniquely Qualified." In the book, I share the journey of ups and downs because it's not easy.  However, it's well worth every hurdle in my opinion. Today I wake up everyday with joy on my heart.  I set the alarm clock for 7:30am, sometimes 8:30am, what the heck some times...

Can't Quit

I love this picture! It truly speaks to my heart.  Never quit.  Never stop.  You’re much closer then you think. I feel like the minor on the bottom who is so close to reaching the gold but he doesn’t even know it.  All he knows is he’s been mining for a long time with no reward.  When do you call it quits?  The answer is you never quit. You know the saying, “Quitters never win and winners never quit.”  I am in the process of writing my very first book.  It’s called, Uniquely Qualified.  You are Uniquely Qualified to walk into the destiny God has designed for you.  God has given me the words to write this book.  He has taken me down a journey that now I must share.  There are so many great pieces of advice in this book; I can’t wait for it to be published.  On the flip-side, this is one of the most strenuous, meticulous processes I have ever endured.  Even during grad school writing 75-100 page papers was n...
