There is joy in and through pain, but you must choose it. Yes joy is a choice. It’s as much as a choice as choosing what gas to put in your car, but whatever you choose, over time will show if what you chose is actually sustaining.
Don’t get it twisted forgiveness is a weapon in the kingdom!
It’s strengthens the Spirit
While weakening the flesh,
It pleases God
And confuses the enemy,
It heals you and releases you from bitterness
All the while opening you up to a better understanding of who God is.
Overall, you are worth more than you can imagine.
”Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?“
Matthew 6:26 NIV
You are not who they say you are brother ❤️
Dear men,
Do not allow the world to tell you how much value you have or your worth! No man/woman, culture, social media page, influencer, or anything of it, can tell you who you are. Only God can tell you who you are.
You are an overcomer
A conquerer
A light of the world.

Following Christ changes you. Your desires change, your community changes, your very character is changed, to be a reflection of Christ Himself.
If you have not changed you have not followed Christ.
Understand the attack on your life by the enemy is not because of God’s absence, but His presence. The devil knows if he can just take your attention away, you will not realize the how weak he actually is.
The enemy fears the person you’d become with God’s hand on you.
We aren’t perfect, and we don’t have to be perfect for Him. We may not be where we want to be, but do dismiss the fact that we aren’t where we used to be. Choosing Jesus is choosing to not just go with life, but to grow as life goes.
Forgive and give yourself grace friend.
Don’t let your problem(s) be the dictator of your praise! The biggest gift you’ve been given is the gift of life, and so long as you have breath, you have a purpose!
Your faith is not to be stagnant but active. To speak of your faith is one thing but to work your faith, is to move with full confidence that God has your back the entire time, to write and apply the word to mind, heart, and soul
What I desire in 2024
- Use every bit of stored potential in me to build up others
- to fill in more of the blanks of who God loves, and the vastness of His love for me, and all others.
- share that love with others and grow the ministry given to me
- grow in leadership
God taught me many things this past year:
- His love transcends the love of man
- when you seek Him with intention, every bit of fear, anxiety, worry, shame washes away
- Following Jesus goes against current culture and that’s okay.
- community is necessary
