It was January 20 of 2021 and I was in Dallas TX at a New Beginnings conference with my cousin. We were so pumped up and ready to receive what the Lord had prepared for the speakers to give. We got ready for bed knowing that the next three days would be filled with so many emotions, I just didn’t realize how many would hit me. We knew that the Lord was with us and that He is always doing something new. I had no idea I was going to have to release and fully surrender in order to get the experience He wanted me to have. 

It was around 4 something in the morning when I received multiple phone calls and text messages for me to call immediately. At that moment I got the news that my 9 year old Boxer London was sick, not just sick, but deadly sick. Two of my best friends Michael and Tiffany were separately house and dog sitting for me while I was out of town. They took her to the emergency vet clinic and told me that she was inside and it would be a few hours before they...

God SEES You

The other day I had a customer walk in and tell me her car was stolen and she had a gun put to her head. As I sat quietly listening to her I could see she felt lost, confused and hurt. The Holy Spirit whispered "Tell Her I See Her"!

She said they stole my identity, my purse, my license, and everything I had in my car.
She said they caught one of the young men but the other two were still out there. She was so upset and focused on the fact that someone took her stuff and she felt like they stole her identity.

I told her God SEES You! "They can't take your Identity" you belong to the Father and He says who you are. He says you are loved, chosen, sought after and the enemy can't take this from you unless you let him. I told her she needed to PRAY for them. They couldn't have done these things if they knew the Father and King Jesus.

She began to cry and she said the Holy Spirit told her to come to our store that day & now she knew why.
She began to cry out to the Father to...

*   And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. Exodus 13:21

*   The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you." And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said. Exodus 19:9

*   For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys. Exodus 40:39

*   He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them. Psalm 99:7

Theses are just a few examples in the Bible that the Lord has shown himself as a cloud.

The Israelites needed to see God in physical form so the Father showed up as a cloud.

There are times in our lives when we really need to see the Father and feel his presence all over...

 I am sure you have heard the saying, "you cannot pour from an empty cup". This is why you need to learn to take care of yourself. Keeping yourself motivated is an inside job. You might do an excellent job at creating the right environment and getting the requisite resources to succeed, but if you are not taking care of yourself, you will not be able to stay motivated for very long. It is hard to keep pushing yourself to do more when your body is already falling apart under the pressure. 

Achieving success at the expense of your health is not a very wise idea. It is equally unwise to neglect your family and friends in the process. While it is true that sacrifices will need to be made, your health and relationships should not be one of them. In short, it will be much easier to motivate a healthy mind and body. 

Pay careful attention to these 5 areas that are often neglected in the pursuit of success: 

Nutrition 

How, when and what we eat, has a huge bearing...

Life becomes more worth living when you know that for every good thing that you did, a reward is bound to come your way. By this time, you already know that stopping your addictions is possible only if you will really put your heart and mind to it. The last but definitely not the least tool for you to completely free yourself from your bad habits is learning to reward yourself for every accomplishment that you make. 

Through meaningful rewards, you can be more motivated to do better the next day and you will strive even harder to make sure that you will get another great reward in the future. With this kind of inspiration and motivation, you will have the drive to become better and better every day as you finish your journey to complete recovery from your addiction. 

Every Accomplishment Deserves a Good Reward 

Reward systems are being used in many situations today. At home, in schools and even in workplaces, a reward system is considered as a helpful tool for people...

So now you have the goal, you need the plan. To do this, look at where you are now and then look at all the things you would need to build the life you are picturing. For instance, you might find that you need a certain amount of money to make your dream of travelling happen. 

In that case, you need to look at the options available to you to make that money. Or maybe you want to achieve a certain thing in your career and you realize that in order to get there, there is a certain amount of experience you need to acquire first. How can you acquire said experience? 

There are many similar examples of how you might go after a particular goal but the thing to remember in every case is that you need to focus on small steps that are just ahead of you. That might mean the next small promotion. It might mean a small upgrade to your home. It might mean developing any form of small income. 

With that in mind, you’re then going to break these smaller goals down even...
