  • God's plan will prevail.

    If you’ve been with me for a while, you may recall back in 2020 when I shared that I misallocated a substantial amount of money in the process of executing a business plan that ultimately wasn’t aligned with the type of business God called me to build. While I’ve since forgiven myself for this error and chalked it up to a really expensive lesson that God needed me to learn at that stage of my development, I’ve always viewed that entire experience as one HUGE mistake I made that God, in His grace, carried me through. Well, fast-forward to present day, I’ve recently taken on part-time...
  • God's focus was focusing.

    As I’ve been planning out my attack on this year’s goals, I’m so inspired by how God approached creation. When you think about it, He literally had “theme” or “batch” days where He focused on creating one thing at a time each day along with whatever corresponding work was required for that thing. I’ve benefitted from having a...
  • Remember where you're seated.

    “Remember who you are. Remember where you’re seated.” These were words I sensed the Holy Spirit whispering to me in the midst of some difficult decisions I was trying to make, as He reminded me of the...
  • Don't throw it all away.

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve been tempted a time or two to just burn everything I’ve been working on down and start all over. MULTIPLE times. As entrepreneurs, we typically experience this feeling after some sort of perceived failure or in the midst of heavy challenges. In the aftermath of one of my recent “failures”, I sensed the Holy Spirit tell me...
  • You are evidence.

    I had two people send me the song “Evidence” by TRIBL featuring Naomi Raine within a short period of time so I figured God was trying to tell me something but when I listened to it both times I still wasn’t getting it. It wasn’t until the third listen, while I was wrestling through some procrastination, that I realized it was...
  • God is waiting on you to speak.

    A friend of mine and I were having a convo about how she feels like she’s been doing all the things she’s supposed to be doing to receive provision from God but has been frustrated because it doesn’t seem like it’s working. I shared similar sentiments with her in my own life too and that where I believe I’ve been missing it is that...
  • Wait 24 hours to respond.

    I made a few people blunders this year that I still regret dearly. I thank God for His forgiveness and the heart work He’s been doing in me since then though. The first was after receiving my first ever...
  • God is not doing this to you.

    I’m about to pivot again in my business—although I’m not sure if “pivot” is really the best word; I think little by little I’ve just been surrendering more to what God’s plan has been all along in response to the intense construction He’s been doing on my mind and heart these last few years. One morning back in early September, before...
  • You're a lion too.

    I recently walked through a spiritual battle where, by faith, I took back territory in my life and for the lives of my future generations. Excuse my language, but the process honestly made me feel like a spiritual badass. I’m 100% positive that...
  • Recognize the weight of your purpose.

    So in September I got clear for the first time what my purpose is in the Body of Christ (which is basically to help us stay saturated so we stop getting our butts kicked so much). I’ve known my strongest spiritual gift for years (teaching) but it was the mindset shift about how building God’s Kingdom is primarily about loving on God’s people that brought my purpose into full view for me. It’s clear to me now that the best...
  • Saturation is your weapon.

    One of my deepest reasons for no longer wanting to run my coaching program was because I honestly thought it was making my clients a target for the enemy. You might be thinking, girl it is not that serious, but it honestly seemed like often my clients would experience miraculous...
  • The Kingdom of God is within you.

    September was a GAMECHANGING month of revelations for me; revelations about my heart, my purpose in the Body of Christ and my business. I have SO much to unpack and share with you but I'll start with one of my biggest revelations of the month, which was essentially that the #1 thing God has called me to build isn't a business at all, it's...
