The Power of Attaining the Basics (Blog #4)

Do you desire to win a Grammy for your hottest song and have never written a song?

Have you desired to be an author and have never picked up a pen and a notebook and wrote a story?

Do you desire to be a designer and never have drawn an article of clothing?

When is the last time you read the latest news on the desired occupation of your choice? For instance: You want to be a music engineer and you research what it takes to be a music engineer…

Or what about an actress? Have you learned a monologue or two? Have you taken headshots? Have you joined the theatre department at school, church, or your community?

I ask these questions because it amazes me how many messages I get from my loyal supporters asking numerous questions for advise about how to “break into the industry” and then when I pose these question-like-answers, some are amazed because no one ever told them about the power of attaining the basics.

My encouragement to you: Don’t look at where you live, or what you don’t have access too, or who helped who, or why you don’t have something or my favorite one: how will I get to it, him, or that location.

Your gift will make room for you…. simple as that. When you use your gift (whether in human eyes big or small) God honors the fact that you are using what HE gave you. He will open doors that to man makes no sense.  How can HE order your steps, if you don’t take one?

Love ya,

Why Did U Stop?

I’m sorry but today was an emotional day 4 me. I was once again challenged after speaking with someone and it hit me: why not, at times when you don’t know what to pray for, why not just simply, wholeheartedly pray the Lord’s prayer? Have you notice that, or at least I have, seen so much more happen when you don’t specifically ask for something, that you get more than what u could’ve ever imagine?

Why do we stop praying? Why? When? Is it because we didn’t see the signs? Or did you see the signs and it felt like the promise was taking too long?

How many times have you asked for something, but took no steps or attempts towards that thing?

Or how many times have we prayed for something, got it, and began to detest or loathe it and realize, I don’t want it anymore?

Interesting thought: if I say, “I’ve always wanted to be on the Oprah show and that’s still a desire of mine, BUT her show no longer exists, did that mean my prayer or desire wasn’t answered?”

It dawned on me: if we prayed for something and now that so called “something” no longer exist, it’s not that the prayer was unanswered, it’s that the answer is yet to be revealed and the answered is better than the thing we actually desired or wanted…

My point is: Stop limiting yourself and God. Pray for wisdom and understanding about someone or a situation. And as you make those steps, God will order them. But someone asked me “what if the steps you take are wrong?” If you seek HIS will 1st, God will honor HIS word. Trust me. Seek HIM first and when you step He will order them. And don’t be anxious for the effects of that obedient step, just STEP. Stop looking for something and understand what you do have. Regardless of your location or situation or circumstance, God will take what you have because you took what you have and create from there! He is not God, just to be God. He is God and He created you to dispel HIM in the earth. What’s the point of our existence if we can’t attest to HIS delivering power?

Think about it….

With love…
