Journey to Greatness

How many times have you felt like you were destined for more? Like you knew that God had greater plans for your life.

Through all the pain and suffering in my life I have always felt like I was destined for something great. Not like “insta” great. I may never reach 1,000,000 followers on anything social media related- but I am destined to reach woman every where.

I am just as successful if I help 1 woman in life than if I help 1,000,000 because every life is precious. Every struggle, every battle I endure is my testimony; it will bring hope. Let me tell you, in the beginning I thought believing was enough, than praying… Now I know that greatness starts with me.

I actually had to stop hoping and start doing. I had to put a plan into action and deliver on it. Without action there is no reaction. I still feel like a fish out of water most the time. I am not tech savvy, and I am definitely not up to date on all the media stuff. (I am sure I am like a 90 year old lady when it comes to this, and some of tem may know more than me).

If you have a dream, a goal, or a  calling. If you lay in bed feeling like maybe your life can be more. If you feel as though there is greatness inside of you that you have not reached… Get started. It is okay to allow yourself to stumble, fall, be embarrassed…at least you are doing something.

Find who you are destined to be. Push your limits. Break your barriers. Free your potential. BE GREAT!

Destined for Greatness

Book Review: Circle Maker

It is no secret to most that know me on a personal level. I was never the book type. As I have matured I find myself reading more and more, and if it’s good I catch myself finishing a book.

Most recently I have been reading The Circle Maker. Wow, what an amazing and inspiring book. I am so obsessed I’m giving it an A+ an I haven’t finished it yet. So far this is the stand out quote “never put a comma where God puts a period, and never put a period where God puts a comma.” I am convinced at this point I will be using this as my life motto.

I think of all the times I gave up on something, and have spent time thinking “what if”? Could it be that I ended my story too soon, did I put a period where a comma should have been? In life there are set backs and I think as a whole people tend to give up too soon. If we try and fail maybe we try again but eventually most of us quit. However that no your not going to do that could have been a not yet.

Would we continue to fight through failure and rejection is there was a promise that no matter what, no matter the sacrifice that you would receive a great reward. Would we still feel like we have failed?

As a Christian woman building on a relationship with God this hit me hard. I have quit so many times on my dreams. The dream comes back I try and I quit because I am not receiving reward fast enough. The fact that my dream refuses to go away, now feels like God yelling  me: “hey stupid! How long until you realize I decide how and when? If you aren’t patient you won’t succeed but I promise if you quit you will never finish.” That’s it! If I stop I will never finish.

So I am grabbing that awesome pink pearl eraser from my childhood and erasing the periods that didn’t belong in my life.

Don’t stop, pray and press through. You don’t want to be one failure away from success.

Hey you

Hey you looking at me

Stop a sec and talk to me

am I everything you expected me to be?

I feel your stare

I can taste your judgment

I am not a book 

what you see is not my cover; to be read and judged

Look closer 

Listen to my soul

Hear me in your heart

I am me, a human being

I have felt love and loss

I was lost and have been found

Hey you looking at me

I see you

But can you see me?
