DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Ever felt like God isn't listening to you? Ever felt like giving up? Helped others all the while, you're in desperate need of basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing? Trotted around the same valley in your life and never making it to the mountaintop? Didn't get the grades you were the most proud of? Unemployed or didn't hired for the position you wanted? If so, guess what? I HAVE TOO!!! I come by way of faith today to reach out to someone who is ready to give up and take the roads less traveled in life. Being an entrepreneur is NOT all cookies and cream, especially with new businesses. I pay homage to business owners of 25 plus years. Trying to empower women and live a normal life is no easy task. Yes, I've empowered some men along the way but my passion is to help women that have been affected by domestic violence and other injustices in this world. I have my feet planted back firmly now towards my dreams and personal goals. For a while I was so lost or so it seemed that I couldn't write or say any words of encouragement to anyone. This was surely my wilderness season. It almost felt weird writing again and getting ready to relaunch my first book I wrote, God, Do I Hear Wedding Bells? But time and time again, God sent people that have shared their struggles and left me with two POWERFUL thoughts to meditate and ACT on: "This is going to add to your testimony". "You're not on the same wavelengths/channels/frequencies as your blessings. You are allowing your current situation to distract you". "DON'T GIVE UP". When I tell you that these three sentences has changed my life in a matter of a 24 hour period, it was only God using His earthen vessels. I'm human like everyone else, my life is not always together and believe it or not I MAKE TONS OF MISTAKES. Some things I excel in than others and with success there will be some failures. I don't always do things right the first time around, but I never stop trying. A NEW ME is forever changing and I'm not just talking about my foundation. I'm talking about me as a person and the foundation. My faith has been the only thing that has kept me sane throughout this season and others. I don't know what God is getting ready to do in my life and others, but, I TRUST HIM TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF MY NEEDS. For the community of sisters who have been victims of domestic violence, DON'T GIVE UP!!! Know that God loves you and so do I. For the women that needs to be empowered, put one foot in front of the other and carry yourself towards a new journey in life. Again, I say all of these things because either at one point in my life or currently, I'm walking in the same paths as you are. Be blessed in all that you do, and do in the lives of others. BREAK THE SILENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!!
