In God We Trust


That's right—now that we've acknowledged our Truth and begun our Transformation, going forward we have to Trust Him and know that His will for us will manifest itself. As you walk this journey, there will be times of stumbling and getting up again, there will be moments of weakness followed by moments of strength, and yes—there will be moments of doubt. As you prepare yourself to run this race, when those times come upon you, you have to remember that only He knows the plans that He has for you. Plans not to harm you, but to give you hope and a future. 



You have to Trust Him when you push your body to the limit. You have to Trust Him when your loved ones don't understand the Transformation that is occurring in you. You have to Trust Him when your co-workers stab you in the back. You have to Trust Him when a family member is sick and you don't know His reasons for allowing them to suffer. You have to Trust Him and GET OUT OF THE BOAT!



That's right, ladies. It's time to walk on water like Peter. This past month, I have looked all around me and asked Him why He didn't choose someone else to give the vision to. I have seen other leaders who I think could execute it more eloquently than I. But, I have also looked at my life and realized that it is my TESTimony. I must do what I am being told, because He has revealed my purpose to me. 

Initially, I just hung my leg out of the boat to get a feel for the water...it was cold. I was afraid. But, when He said, "Come," I had to rely on my faith and get out of that boat. Like Peter, sometimes I go under, but I'm determined to get to Him, to get more of Him, and in order to do that, I have to walk on water. 

MIND: Quietly reflect on something that God told you to do, but you were afraid that you weren't qualified or that you would not be able to carry it through. Now, ask Him to free your mind from old inhibitions and fear. Wait for the new task, however small it may be, and DO IT. Trust that He will give you everything you need to be successful.

BODY: Try something new this week and trust that your body will accommodate. Maybe it's running for two minutes while you're on the treadmill. Maybe it's trying a new food. Give your body a chance to experience something new.

SPIRIT: Decide that you are going to be free no matter what it takes. Go so deep into yourself that the change registers in your cells. Let go of something: anger, denial, doubt, fear—whatever is holding you back—and feel your Spirit soar to a new level. 

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).

Buried Alive (The REAL Reason for L.A.M.B.S.)

As a child, I was molested by my babysitter and by a family member. As a teenager, boys from my neighborhood raped me. The first time I was molested, I thought the child in me died. I lost my innocence, sense of wonder, trust, optimism, stability, happiness, and other things that I didn’t discover until I got older. As a woman, I have repeatedly relived every painful moment and result of the abuse, and I have realized that the little girl in me didn’t die...she was buried alive. When I thought about my life and burst into tears, the little girl was mourning. When I had trouble trusting people and forming relationships, the little girl was resisting. When I insisted on controlling everything around me, the little girl needed structure and security. When I functioned in chaos while everyone around me was falling apart, the little girl was making sense of it all, so that she could go on living. For years, I struggled with the dichotomy of self. There was the strong and confident wom

DYM: The Wonder Years

I wonder how much different things would be Dear younger me Our minds have the ability to dream about the future and remember the past.  I’d bet that most of us spend our time thinking about what we could have or should have done differently. We spend countless hours, days, and years replaying events and wondering what would have happened if we made a different choice. We ask ourselves questions like: What if I’d fought harder? What if I’d gone to school when I had the chance? What if I’d asked for more money when I took the job? What if I’d stayed instead of leaving? What if I’d left when it happened the first time? What if I’d chosen a different profession? What if I’d chosen a different mate? What if . . . and the list goes on. We spend the precious time that we have now running through scenarios that could have, maybe, possibly changed our current situation. We play the blame game. We cry. We get angry. We. Waste. Time.  I believe the only reason we sh
