The Underdog

This is the year of the underdog believe it or not. I got this revelation as I have been watching the NCAA tournament aka March Madness. The underdog can be described as those who are overlooked, ignored, walked over, and walked on. These are the people who will rise up and make an impact on the world. One thing about an underdog that some people fail to see, we (yes because I am an underdog too lol) do not stop working. And in a very transparent and honest moment, we want to give up but something in us will not let us quit. We actually have a tendency to work harder than ever.

A underdog soon comes to the realization that even though people do not see what it is that we are doing, God sees everything. We stop resisting so we can hear what God is telling us. We also come to the realization that sometimes God is protecting us so that our gifts are not abused or infected.

My words of encouragement is that all of you who want to throw in the towel should not do so. Use that towel to wipe the sweat from your face and the tears from your eyes. You are just being processed to be blessed and to be a blessing. Someone somewhere needs to hear your story. Realize this is your year, live your life. Enjoy it to the fullest. Everyday will not be a perfect day but it is worth it.

And just in case you need some examples: Joseph, Gideon, Hannah, David.

It is always the one's you least expect that produce something GREAT!!! BE ENCOURAGED :)

No Strength 2 Color

They say broken crayons still color but what do you do when you don't have the strength to paint a better picture. What is all of your energy is gone? What do you do then? You look for a solution because what is familiar is no longer working. People seem to think that you have it all together and in reality God has fixed it where you have to completely trust Him and it seems that everything is falling apart. I am here to encourage us today. We aren't going always going to be in this position. I believe that God has to do something because we have done all we can do and nothing is happening.  The harder the press the greater the oil. We have to be crushed so we can be used by God not people. (Catch it) In this season, don't let any person take advantage of you. It's okay to say no. Do not let them guilt trip you. Gather the strength to color even if you don't see the frame yet. It's not a puzzle but the pieces are slowly coming together. I have n...

When You Don't Understand

2018 was full of loss. Some of us lost loved ones, we lost our hope, our drive, our passion. It seemed like every single time we took steps to make progress life came and knocked the hell out of us. And it made me angry. I didn't understand why it seems like things kept going left when we were doing right. Why did people go ghost in the midst of a heartbreaking year? I let my anger affect the things that I was doing and I honestly didn't care anymore. Why should I extend myself when no one else was willing to do the same. I still served, I was there for others, I went to work, and I was angry. Truth be told I am still processing my anger. It didn't seem fair. It still doesn't seem fair. I don't need to be told anything deep or profound. I just need an understanding. I know that there are five stages of grief. I know that I can talk to God about anything. Have you ever done that and not received a response? Have you ever read the word for comfort and when you...

Are you bearing fruit?

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV) Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas?  Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit.
