Why not quit?

 

Why Not Quit?

Discouragement is a powerful force. For me, it's often the quickest way to derail my progress. When God reveals something to me, I believe it wholeheartedly and expect it to manifest immediately. But often, His timing is different. He shows me glimpses of the future, and the fulfillment comes in its perfect time—not mine.

When I share these visions and they don't materialize right away, discouragement sets in. Negative self-talk creeps in:

"You did it again. You jumped ahead. Nobody wants to do this. It's probably just a stupid idea."

I wish I could say that in those moments, I immediately turn to God. But more often than not, I find myself wrestling with doubt and frustration.

I get it. Waiting is hard. Trusting the process is hard. Believing that what God has shown you will come to pass is hard.But remember, He doesn't show us things to tease us. If He has revealed something to you and you're sure about it, first seek confirmation. Ensure it aligns with Scripture and God's character. If it does, wait for it.

Habakkuk 2:2–3 reminds us:

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

Sometimes, the delay isn't about you. It's about the timing of everyone and everything involved. Just because God has shown you something doesn't mean all the pieces are in place yet. Trust that He is orchestrating everything perfectly.The Sun+2talkSPORT+2The Washington Post+2

Consider the story of Sovereignty, the 2025 Kentucky Derby winner. He wasn't born a champion. He underwent training, faced challenges, and had to grow into his potential. His owners, trainers, and jockey invested time, effort, and resources, believing in his future success. And when the time was right, they reaped the rewards.Triple Crown Races+5A Sea Of Blue+5The Sun+5

Similarly, in your life—whether it's a new relationship, a financial breakthrough, or a health transformation—this is a season to build. But building often requires deconstruction. Old mindsets, habits, and fears may need to be cleared away to make room for the new.

So, stay calm. Silence the negative voices. Speak God's truth over your situation. Believe in what He has shown you. It will come to pass.

And remember, I'm speaking to myself as much as to you.

No fear

Well, that escalated quickly. We are officially in a financial hole, and at this point, only God can get us out. We’ve done the diligent work to get out of debt—but we haven’t built stability. That “one paycheck away from broke” warning? It’s real. And today, it hit home. This morning we found out that Scott’s entire paycheck for the week was used to cover medical expenses. The  entire check. And of course, this is the week when all the major bills are set to come out. Now we’re sitting here with nothing to cover them. So, now what? Well—I could beat myself up for not preparing better. But the truth is, we  have  been preparing. More than ever. And yet here we are, between a rock and a hard place. Now, I’ll be honest: the temptation to run back to old comforts like food or distraction is real. But guess what? I just started a 90-day focus on my health and healing this week. Can you say the stupid slimeball enemy just  overplayed his hand ? If the goal of this chaos w...

The Blueprint Begins

The Beginning I never would have imagined there was such a thing as a “Heaven blueprint.”   Growing up in survival mode—surrounded by chaos, confusion, and abuse—I didn’t even know what Heaven really was. Don’t get me wrong, I went to church with my grandma. And after my mom and dad divorced, my mom would toss us on the church bus whenever it rolled through our neighborhood—probably just to get a couple hours of peace (and now, after raising four kids myself, I totally get it). I enjoyed going. We got a snack, we sang songs, and for some reason, I was always captivated by the messages. It was a Southern Baptist church, and the pastor preached hellfire and brimstone like it was his full-time job. Honestly, I credit his vivid descriptions of hell with why I gave my life to Jesus at just 8 years old. No way was I trying to go there. Shortly after, my little brother knelt in front of the TV while we watched The 700 Club and got saved too. Then a neighborhood friend gave his life to Jes...

The Call

  Blog 4: The Call It’s a Seek. See. Act. season. If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s this: God has always been there . Everything I’ve ever needed has already been planted within me—I just didn’t know how to access it. And if there’s one constant in life, it’s change. With every new season comes a fresh invitation to grow, to heal, and to evolve. But those invitations don’t always look like doors—they often look like storms, struggles, or silent stretches. Looking back over the story I’ve shared so far, here’s what most people don’t realize: I was saved for years, but I didn’t know God. I hadn’t met the Holy Spirit. I didn’t understand that I was the daughter of a King, an heir to Heaven’s throne. That truth was hard for me to accept. I was raised in chaos, shaped by survival. So the idea that I was royalty? Destined for divine inheritance? That felt impossible. Unbelievable. I could believe it for everyone else. When I read the Bible, I believed the promises—fo...
