I suffer from severe allergies and sinus conditions. If you know the struggle, you will grab this faster than anyone. After multiple medications, prayers, shots and cleanses, I just want.......to BREATHE! The simplicity of breathing is natural, but when air is compromised..

So much can penetrate and compromise this invisible need we call AIR. At this time in the world, we all know what’s airborne and causing havoc all around the globe. Sometimes our spiritual AIR can be in the same dire state. Things flow easily through air and because it’s invisible, it’s easy sometimes to miss an enemy. It’s been there the entire time but you never saw it until now. Hands up if you still wit me.

Ever lay down to reflect on your day? It’s grand when you have succeeded and made power moves for the day, but what about when you’ve been thinking wrong, doing wrong and not feeling strong ? The air you breathe feels grimy, heavy and it’s hard to breathe. Hard to pray with the guilt on your back like a gorilla. Sleep tormented with tempting thoughts and your attempts to fight. Morning doesn’t bring freedom, the heaviness still stares at you like a giant. If your still reading let me loudly tell you this!! It’s time to CLEAR the AIR!!!!!
​

Get up! I know every voice in your head is telling you that you can’t but you can. Fall to your knees (physically or in your heart) and cry out to God. Forget the shame, God loves when we cry out to him. He loves when you come to him and pour out your heart. Confess! Don’t pretend it didn’t happen or that it’s not happening, there’s no FREEDOM in that. Ask Holy Spirit right now to clear the air. God wants you free and breathing clearly my friend. God made the air and he wants it clear. Clean, clear air makes a system relax and able to function at a higher capacity.

God wants to take you to that next high level, so the fight intensifies but so does your victory. Freedom is a promise, not a wish. Scripture says who Jesus sets free is free indeed! That means freedom is a right, an expectation and when thoughts or actions violate that, I run to the father and ask for fresh air. God heard you when you pray, never doubt that. God forgives you when you repent, never doubt that. Take up your new freedom and slay every giant with confidence and persistence. You got this!!

Quick favor? Share this for me, anywhere and everywhere. Stay free!

So often when people ask us how we are doing, it’s more of a greeting versus an actual concern. I think I’m a time as this, we should definitely redefine this concept. So today I want to know how you doing, how are you REALLY...

Feeling within your heart. The strike of this pandemic in the United States has taken us all down a dark road we don’t want to follow. This is a challenging, confusing and divided time. How are we supposed to know how to feel? I’ve got the answer my friend.

See feelings can’t always be wrapped in a little perfect box and contained. Feelings/Emotions are a necessary part of our makeup. Although feelings often get a bad wrap, without them we would be considered inhuman. Jesus had emotions when he was here on earth as a human being, he wasn’t heartless or emotionless. He loved, he cried, he celebrated, he mourned. So the answer to that question is...not to feel like a label but be honest in your heart about how you feel each day.

Feelings are fleeting! Yesterday I felt elated because I had received some new appliances and the coldness of a new fridge and fresh food made me smile. Yet on that same day I reflected on my losses this month alone and I felt the tug of my depression and anxiety at times. I know you may have felt like this at times too else you wouldn’t still be reading this.

TALK! When you feel negative, dark, depressed and stressed, talk it out! Keeping these type of emotions bottled up only leads to disaster trust me on that one. If you feel no one will listen or care, that’s NOT TRUE. That’s the voice of discouragement trying to keep you down. Pick up your cell and talk to Someone, text someone about your feelings. And if all that fails (which I doubt) then write it out!!!

You don’t have to be a writer to write. Grab a notebook or your laptop and just flow. Release, release, release. Got it?
Now here’s the flip side..when your feeling good, happy, excited, thankful..TALK! (Sorry for shouting but I’m excited because I know this is helping you). Take that same energy and share your joys, your dreams, your victories with anyone who will listen. Spreading positive feelings will not only uplift you but others around you. It’s okay to feel both good and bad-your human. Just remember that while your busy being human, God is busy being God. You are not alone and He still has the desire to connect with you, especially during this uncertain time.

God still wants to love on you and hear how you are really feeling. He can handle the full range of your emotions because he made them all. So take a deep breathe. Take a quiet moment. Release how you really feel and wait a moment when your done. You may not hear thunder from the Sky but you will hear God speak..if u listen carefully.

Does the thought of writing everyday terrify you? Probably so if your not an author. I love to write, I’m gifted to write, I write everyday. I realize that if your reading this, you probably don’t fall into any of those categories so you need a plan if your going to commit to writing everyday.

First let me say to you that writing everyday builds consistency and will increase your desire to write. Especially if you are trying to write a book, you kinda need to make a habit out of writing . So I have a 3 step plan that really works.

Step One -kick out all those negative voices in your head that tell you this doesn’t make sense, your not a good writer, no one wants to read what you wrote etc...every word you pen is valid and it makes sense to someone. I honestly have to tell myself this daily, I say out loud : I’m making sense and my writing is valuable. . Those negative voices will always show up but if your going to be a successful author, your going to have to silence those voices weekly and start writing

Step two : Make an appointment! If you agreed to grab coffee with a friend (keeping social distancing in mind) you would do your best to make that appointment. Standing your friend up would mean disappointing her. Make an appointment to Write, yes pick a specific time and stick to it. There is always 60 min in an hour, 24 hours in a day, time doesn’t change. Pick your time and get writing.

Last but certainly not least Step Three: I aim to write 300-500 words a day. As a writer I can write forever and think everyone has hours to read my work (NOT!) attention spans are shorter as the days go by so I commit to power packing my posts with good content , in short bursts. You may not blog but set a WORD goal daily: how much can you commit to writing? Be realistic and don’t be afraid to sneak out of your comfort zone a bit. Your book chapters won’t write themselves, so discipline yourself to reach that word count goal and you’ll be done in no time.

That’s it! Three simple, yet effective steps to get your creative juices flowing and your book complete for 2020. No one is expecting you to write a book in one day ( although I did write my first book in a day-but that’s another story for another day lol) so start with this plan and get your WRITING on. You can do it! Your book is needed! If you need more one on one help with starting or finishing your book. Click the link below and let’s connect. I LOVE to help aspiring authors!!

Now more than ever, we all know the word DOWNLOAD. If we can be honest most of us spend more time online than we do in our real lives. Every click becomes a key, that unlocks..

Keys give you access to doors. Access is everything! You can know of incredible places, valuable information, but without access the experience is left unfulfilled. As a prophet, access to the High Place is a privilege. God always deposits breath taking, mind blowing, revelations in the High Place.

Heaven is where God lives and earth is where we are. In order to get revelation from God, there must be a download . God likes to download precious things to his prophets on a consistent basis. It’s up to you, to use your access. In the High Place God can download information to you in various ways. Don’t limit the doors He has for you to access.

God downloads through His word-so every time you pick up your bible prophet, you open yourself to God’s vault of immense revelation. Why do you need revelation? Glad u asked. As a prophet you are naturally sensitive to the environments God has placed you in. You will feel people’s burdens, hear their hearts and see their journey without them saying a word. This is an awesome privilege of the prophetic but it can be tainted by our human nature.

Too often I see immature prophets, flow strictly through what they FEEL. Just because you feel doesn’t mean you flow. (We will dove deeper in the next series). Revelation brings God’s perspective to our lives, we receive revelation by having faith in the download. Whatever God downloads through His word, a vision, a dream, your gifts etc... you have to believe and trust that thing to be true. That’s faith!

​

So never shy away from getting revelation from God, you need it to survive seasons and to help others progress. Revelation (a.k.a. The download ) should always stand above feelings. You may feel that God is going to move a certain way but revelation reveals His ways, not yours. So study the Bible young prophet, it is your access to the downloads of God.

Whenever you need a fresh word for yourself or others, go to your high place. Even though the Bible was written years and years ago, the revelation is always fresh! Grab a notebook and take notes because the enemy watches for revelation and his job is to kill, steal and destroy. Think about that. So write your revelations out to not forget them. Are you ready for the download?

  Creating this mini serious for my prophetic folks! there will be highs and lows in everyone's walk of faith, yet PROPHETS tend to have a unique journey. So I think its' my duty to speak on this and help the millions of prophets coming behind me. First let me say that your unique journey will be filled with MANY lows, that's the nature of the call, but let me share some truths with you, to both prepare and help you through. 

I love the mountains-so many times I have taken trips and find myself just standing and staring out over a mountain view. It's breathtaking, its still, its peaceful-this is my HIGH PLACE.  In the bible there are countless mentions of mountains and even Jesus himself would find moments to pray in 'high' atmospheres to his dad. Every prophet needs to have a spiritual and natural HIGH PLACE. It takes time to seek out this place but make sure it's a priority. 

    Prophets suffer much persecution as they journey to be who God ordained them to be. It can be frustrating at times to try and embrace all that God is showing and speaking to you, while being rejected and questioned by others.  It's in the dark moments, lonely hours, that a prophet must learn to take refuge in the HIGH PLACE.  This is the place where you and God develop intimate channels of connection. It's the place of affirmation and reassurance. It's the true place where you can really really be you and be accepted!

  The bible says if you SEEK, you will find. Might I encourage you in love today to SEEK out your high place. Seek is deeper than looking, it requires levels and going beneath surfaces. Seek in prayer, this means pray until it stops hurting, pray until you're clear on the answer. Seek in scriptures, this means study until your eyes hurt, study until the scriptures float in your head all day and you are excited to search out the word even more . Seek in love, this means to let the motives of your heart be pure and flow out of love. IF you are seeking God for selfish and prideful reasons you're wasting time. Dive deep to navigate His heart until yours matches His. 

​

     Maybe you've never done this before, get excited for a new journey. Maybe you've fell from your high place, now is a good time to return. It's time to go higher, and really hear from God's heart and that starts at the HIGH PLACE. Take time, make time, be away from time and be consistent in visiting your high place. Take a deep breathe, thank God for it and fall to your knees. Remember that we prophecy out of our relationship with God, so making time to commune with God must be top priority for a prophet. You will feel alone my friend, but you're not! God is calling you up to the HIGH PLACE, are you coming??

If your reading this you probably have felt suffocated, trapped, stuck and crushed by DEPRESSION. The battle can be exhaustive and leave you without motivation to fight. Am I right?

I have found myself in this state of mind more times than I can count. As of recent though, my perspective started to SHIFT and I started feeling like I could really get to the other side of this. In prayer late one night I was crying out to God, literally, I prayed more tears than words-thankful He can read my heart. The Spirit of God told me two things I want to pass along to you.

First He told me that depression does NOT have to be a part of my life daily. Now I had already known this, but sometimes when God reiterates something it’s like hearing it for the first time. I heard it and I responded “you’re right”. I could feel light coming into my dark space. I was agreeing with Holy Spirit instead of the voice of the enemy in my head.

Second He told me that we (believers) are not without HOPE! God does not take pleasure in ya feeling hopeless. Another light seeped into my dark place. It dawned on me that I had been losing my hope. You ever feel like things aren’t going to change? Well that feeling must surrender to God’s word. God promised us in His word that whoever he sets free is FREE INDEED!!

Depression is not your final destination. Point. Blank. Period. The doors of your prison cell are open wide. Even if you don’t feel free, you know by faith that you are. God wants you free. God wants you whole. God has given you victory over depression! Believe it. I hope you feel the light of God shining in your dark place.

Next steps? Time to talk it out (don’t cringe). The last thing I wanted to do was talk to people about my struggles with Depression so I know you may be feeling the same. Trust me when I tell you that opening up to a trusted friend, a minister, a therapist, a family member. It will be hard but you can do it, you need to do it💯. Think on this: hidden wounds don’t get healed. Open up to God and then ask Him to give you courage to open up to someone who can help. You will be amazed who God will place in your path!

Pray this prayer with me:

God I believe in your hope, I believe in the light of your Spirit. Flood my heart and mind with Joy right now and push out the darkness trying to overtake me. I believe it’s your will for me to be free and stay free. By faith I declare this is not my final destination! Thank you for your Spirit and your power pulling me out and holding me close. You are my refuge, my strength and new song. Thank you for hearing my cry, healing my heart and restoring my joy, in Jesus name.
Amen💓

Self Care is essential! No if’s or but’s about it!!

There are many parts to Self Care so I’ve decided to break it down for you in a short series of posts. Let’s talk SKIN CARE. Ever heard the saying “love the skin your in”? I’m sure this speaks to being confident and bold about who you are..NOT your actual skin. We don’t speak much about the IMPORTANCE of good Skin care but today we will. Today I want to teach you how to literally LOVE the skin your in.

Your skin has been with you since birth. Everyday of your living life, you are connected to your SKIN, so why aren’t you being good to it? In my recent discovery of skin care, I didn’t even realize how much my skin needs me💯. Most of just complain about what’s wrong with our oily, bumpy, flabby, sensitive skin (guilty) without taking moments to FOCUS on caring for something we will never be without .

​

So the first step to SKIN CARE is knowing what type of skin your in. (I’m sure there’s an app or google for that). Type in the way your skin behaves and in minutes you will have “language” to explain what you’ve been dealing with. You could also book an appt with a Dermatologist 💯

//Step two-once you know your skin type-be intentional about buying products that match your skin. I have super sensitive skin so I can’t use anything with lots of perfumes or dyes-or I’ll end up looking like those bumpy gourdes you buy in fall LOL. Not to mention I’ll be itching like crazy! So when I buy skin care products I look at LABELS. (If you cant pronounce 3-4 items in the ingredients don’t buy it) I stick with all NATURAL products for my skin and some I even make myself.
//Step 3 Once you’ve bought your Soaps, Moisturizers, cleansers, sponges and washcloths-USE then! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve gone and purchase skin care products and they sit on my sink for weeks-unused! Make time to start using what you buy/ set a specific day or add skincare to your morning routine.
​

Every morning I take ten minutes to exfoliate and moisturize my skin, you can do it in the shower. No excuses! You don’t need a fancy exfoliate (Target or Walmart carry great body and facial scrubs) just find something that works to get rid of that dry dead skin and apply a moisturizer afterwards. If you want to know the DIY exfoliates I use, hit me up in the comments. I have recently been moisturizing my skin with natural oil from roses💖💖💖.my skin has been thanking me everyday!
when your good to the skin your in, that’s the start of SELF CARE. Not only will you feel better emotionally but you will physically look better-yes get that natural GLOW sis.

There’s something exhilarating about being in the presence of aspiring authors!! I had an amazing opportunity to gather some talented women in one space and motivate them to start writing their own stories. Stories are powerful, inspiring and necessary. We read stories daily, we watch stories weekly-life itself is a beautiful story crafted creatively by the people who love it.

I love community! So I partnered with a local business, Conquer Fitness United to put this workshop together. Write Like a Boss seemed like the perfect description for Women who were ready to level up, lose the excuses and start writing like a BOSS!

The Workshop was nothing short of amazing. We laughed, we loved, we wrote together and new bonds were created almost instantly.

I had an incredible time writing with these women! The hospitality of the Conquer community was exceptional. It didn’t even feel like we were writing in a gym, the atmosphere had totally transformed once we setup and took out our pencils.
I know this is only the beginning of something great and I’m looking forward to writing with you. Yes YOU! Do you want to learn how to write a book? Do you know women in your church or office who would love to get together and release our stories in a safe, inspiring atmosphere?

Special thanks to Maurice of MoveOutMedia for capturing this event! Many thanks to Drew and the family of Conquer Fitness United for allowing us use of your space. Let’s continue to be great TOGETHER!

This is the year! This is the time! 2019 is the year to be totally and completely FEARLESS!!! That’s right, no more holding back and looking back. Fear lies at the root of 90%of our excuses. Excuses never get anything done! Think about it.
How many things has God asked you to do in 2018? Probably a lot and how many did you actually get done??🤔 most of us end up not even doing 50% of what God needs us to do for Him. I have found in my own life that the root of that disobedience is FEAR.

If I could just get rid of fear, I could do some amazing things for God. I could start that new ministry or give that presentation on that creative idea God showed me in prayer-if I wasn’t so fearful. So much is locked down inside me and FEAR has the key!! Ever feel like this??

Well I certainly have felt like that for YEARS but not this year. Ever since 2016 my chains of fear have been BROKEN and I have been free. Hallelujah. It was no magic and no tricks-it was something God taught me to do and now I want to teach you. You ready to break free???
