Archive Thursday: I'm not who I was.

Source

Welcome to Archive Thursday. I love going back over old posts and seeing how they still ring true in the present. Just today I had the priviledge of speaking with a group of people who are overcoming the journey of their past. Although this article was written in 2012, I hope it will encourage you to keep living a life of virtue and integrity despite what the critics say.

Archive Thursday: Don't be discouraged.

Discouragement.

A word whose definition reads:

The feeling of despair in the face of obstacles.

It's that feeling in the pit of your stomach that says, "maybe you should just give up."

You are worth so much more . . .

 I'm so excited you stopped by today! 

It truly is a blessing to have you come and share in my thoughts. Not for one minute do I take you for granted. You are a daughter of the most High! You were chosen and created for a marvelous purpose. If this site gets you just a little step closer to your calling then I am overly blessed.

Recently, I've had the privilege of working with an inspiring woman named 

Joanna Bailey 

who heads up an organization called Women Who Rise. 

She is a world shaker whose heart is to challenge women to live above and beyond their current circumstances. If you've never heard about her awesome network of women, I hope you will stop by and say hello. There aren't enough words that can explain what she's doing and the impact she will have on so many women and their destinies. 

You can follow her on Twitter here: @joannabailey

A few weeks ago I felt the weight that so many women are struggling with their value. That they don't know the impact and necessity of what they have to offer. I don't know what or who has made you feel disqualified, but I do know that you are more than enough! I hope this article will fill you with hope and value today.

Quote of the Week

Happy 

Martin Luther King 

day!

I can't think of a person who exemplifies what a life of virtue means more than Dr. King. He was a man who lived a life of forward. 

2014, The Year of Forward

I am so excited to see what this year will bring for you as you trust God and step into the promises He has for your life. 

As He does a new thing in you, my hope is that you wouldn't look back to what was, but that you would be confident in what is to be. 

The other day, someone asked me what's the plan for these videos and honestly there isn't one. I just want to be obedient to do what I was called to do. 

Take that first step. 

That first inch forward. 

And while it may not be exactly where I want it to be, the magic is in the first step. The believing and trusting God to carry His message beyond any other natural distractions. 

The only plan I have for these videos would be for you to find life, hope and promise. 

Hope you'll join me next week as we discuss, 

"Now is not your final destination."

Love,
