The Destiny Diva!
As we enter into the national tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving, I want to remind you, first of all, that every day is a day of Thanksgiving. God is just so awesome! Truly, I can empathize with whoever initiated the phrase, "If I had 10,000 tongues, I just couldn't praise Him enough." God's been just that good. He's been far better to me than I could ever be to myself. Read more inside...
I came across an interesting quote the other day that really made me think. It said, "The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live." How true! Unfortunately, far too many people cannot live life to its fullest because of their preoccupation with the stuff and things that make up the circumstances of life: challenges with finances, employment, relationships, emotions, and so much more. When we begin to feel this way, it is imperative that we remember who we are and whose we are. Read more inside...
I'm reminded of Paul's words to the church at Philippi in Philippians 3:14, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." We know that Paul's ultimate goal is to become so close to Jesus that he can empathize with what our savior felt in the process of going to Calvary. At the same time, his words offer encouragement as we press toward our destiny. This month, I'd like to offer three nuggets that will help us press for success: Press up, press in and press on.

It's always a joy and an honor to present insight on ways to help you reach your greatest potential in the Lord. I am fully persuaded that God desires for you to win. The Word of God is full of reassurance of this fact. But how does one move from dream to destiny? Well, there are a number of steps that must be taken. Perhaps one of the most profound that we must realize is that it's a team effort. Read more inside...
I will admit that this month's topic is something I probably thought I'd never actually write about...at least not anytime soon. But after reading a blog entitled, "Can God Use a Divorced Person," I felt compelled to share my story. I felt this way because I thought the title of the blog that I saw was really not the smartest question to ask. Yet, when I thought about the many feelings I had as I was going through my own divorce, I could wholeheartedly empathize. [And, whether we like it or not, divorce is a reality, even in the Body of Christ.] Thus, this blog is written to serve as a source of strength to those who may be feeling guilty, indecisive, confused, or whatever way as a result of the issue of divorce. So, in response to the question, "Can God Use a Divorced Person," my answer is an absolute yes. Read more inside...
Once again, I count it a privilege and an honor to share with you this month. You may recall that at the beginning of this year, I made a declaration of, "It shall be well in 2012." I meant that from the bottom of my heart. And although I am walking in total anticipation, I must tell you that I am in complete awe of what our Heavenly Father has already done for His children in the first quarter of the year. I have seen people receive a new lease on life through gainful employment, restored relationships and business breakthroughs. As for me personally, God has enlarged my territory in such a way that things that I've been in prayer about for years are now at my fingertips. How great is our God!
The bells and whistles have all sounded their alarms. It is February 1, 2012, the first day of Black History month! Yessssss!!!! I can't wait to see what's being posted out in Cyber Space to commemorate this most noteworthy time of year. Yet, when I open my browser, I cannot believe my eyes. Find out more inside...
By the grace of God, we have made it to see yet another year. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Now that the New Year has been ushered in, I have to tell you that I've made it a practice over the last several years not to make New Year's resolutions. After all, how many of us can honestly say that we've made resolutions and really stuck to them? I'll be honest enough to tell you I've never been in that number. I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel the need to make New Year's resolutions. Find out why inside...
With that being said, it's amazing to me that this Step to Destiny simply says, "Deal With Obstacles." As much as I would like to say that life will always be a simplistic journey with no bumps, bruises, curves or pitfalls along the way, I think we've all lived long enough to know that such is just not reality. We face all kinds of obstacles from day to day, with some being more painful and challenging than others. I think this is a fact of life that we need to remember, particularly as we embark upon a brand new year. Read more inside...
"I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma." The legendary Eartha Kitt's most profound words give added credibility to the fact that the continuing education process is an essential element to reaching one's life destiny. Simply put, learning is a part of life that should never end until life is over. "I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma."
