Execution is Key: The Time is NOW!

-









How many of us have sat on goals and dreams and pushed them down to the farthest part of our mind? God has told us to execute that book, that podcast, launch that blog and business but we have laid dormant in God's plans. We have forgotten our gifts, talents, and the promises of the glory placed on your life! Did you know that you haven't even fully tapped into the your purpose inside of the kingdom. You haven tapped into your destiny!

Last weekend, I attended a vision board party and it was incredible!! It was a shared space of believers and we took the time to chat, bond, and write our vision down for the year. We cut out pictures of magazines and I completed mine in one night! it was refreshing. In the beginning of this year God spoke to me two words 'Magnificent shift" God told me he had the ability to shift everything in my life: my finances, my academics, my mindset, and behaviors. In Isaiah it differniates our thoughts and Gods thoughts stating "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways." (Isaiah 55:8 ESV).

Do you know that each time we choose to stay in bed, do what is pleasing to our flesh instead of what God told us to do we are in disobedience. God is faithful and he never forces us? But stop, take the time to think of the amount of time we wasted when we decided not to spend time with God? When we decided to take time to scroll on Instagram or watch Netflix and missed God? I am not saying there is nothing wrong with that but we cannot think we are going to operate in disobedience and God will bless our mess! We are faithful with small, we aren't consistent, and we don't have a heart full of gratitude. Heather Lindsey once preached a sermon in which she talked about we decide to life our live and tag scriptures to it. God is faithful and a God of order and he won't bless our mess! The book of Matthew states "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who builds his house on the rock." (Matt 7:24). Gods word is steady, and firm like a rock. If he gave you that vision it is for a reason and it is to be served in the kingdom.

The Lord spoke to me "The time is now!" The time to execute is now. The time to birth out that vision and purpose is NOW! Hear me, that vision that you carry inside of you has to come out . Just like a mother carries a child for nine months, the child has to be birthed! Vision has a due date. In the words of Michael Todd "Vision has to be visible. It is not vision if it is in your thoughts!

We need to start moving when God calls us to do something. God is a god of perfection and purpose. WE second guess ourselves but why are we second guessing God? God doesn't change HIS mind about us or anything concerning us. There is no maybe, but or "or." God is merely waiting on us and the choice is left up you. 1 Samuel 15:22 illustrates the importance of obeying God. "What is more pleasing to the Lord:
    your burnt offerings and sacrifices
    or your obedience to his voice?
Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,
    and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.

The time is now! In 2020, i cannot afford to be disconnected from God. I cannot afford to neglect my purpose and miss God. Go forth in faith! #FearlessFaith


Tips:

1. Stop Procrastinating
2. Stop overthinking - we have the ability to talk ourselves out of things! It doesn't have to be perfect, to be purposeful. (Start from scratch).
3. Spend time with God and seek your purpose.
4. Serve others.


Prayer: Dear God,

Thank you for placing purpose deep inside of me. I know that you have started a great work inside of me and it will be brought into completion. I surrender my will to you. Help me to be led by you. Right now i give you my dreams, gifts, desires, wants, purpose, and destiny. When i placed it in your hands, it will be glorified and used for a much greater good. Amen.

Faith vs. Fear: Trusting God Through The Storm

There is a difference between the two. Faith is trusting GOD during a battle where FEAR keeps you from accomplishing, believing, dreaming, achieving. In 2018, I lived in fear. To be quite honest, in 2016 is where the seed of fear was planted in my heart. I don’t know when, where, or how. I just know it was. In retrospect, 2016 was a difficult year for me. It was my second semester in college and I lost my father in May. I couldn’t believe it. I was so broken, and I questioned how God could do this to me again. And I say again because I lost my father in 2001 at the age of five. I say all thing to say… Do not let fear keep you BOUND. 2016 and 2017 was years that I doubted myself and worried about everything. In 2019, I spent New Year’s Day bringing it in at my church. The youth revival was on Fire and remember the Lord telling me to get up and RUN! Running represent freedom and it requires action and that was my first step in 2019 that I would take. I ran away fear, dou

The Tale Between Two Cities

**Disclaimer** This is a personal blog and it is not meant to defame UWM or deter any student from going there. This is simply my experience and has shaped my outlook on city of Milwaukee. I have back at home since March 13th, 2020. And coming back home for me was a mental whirlwind. Home for me is sacred and peaceful. I was raised in this house and it represents a safety net. I know everyone and it is my safe place. However, when I went away from school almost two years ago, I merged into a new reality that stripped me from the "home" I knew. I completed my undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Milwaukee represents a city of lack and uncomfortableness. It is the top segregated city in America and socio-economic disparity in the black community is evident. During that dreadful season, I experienced loneliness, racism, and microaggressions like never before. When I first arrived, I look back and I represented such courage, strength and
