If it took your authentic voice to get you there, it will take your authentic voice to keep you there. Your job is to keep listening.
You’ll know that you and the vision are one when your actions flow out of a knowing that’s greater than your fears. Sure, you might be stunned by an obstacle, but it doesn’t determine your ultimate response. Your ultimate response comes from yo...
We must say "no" to what, in our heart, we don't want. We must say "no" to doing things out of obligation, thereby cheating those important to us of the purest expression of our love. We must say "no" to treating ourselves, our health, our needs as n...
The one thing I have that nobody else has or can duplicate is my sound. The sound of my voice. The sound of my life. Others may say similar things but they can’t say them like I do.
You are the only author of your book that matters.
The church I had loved so much was not a good place for me to hear the sound of my own voice. There was room for my talent but no room for my voice. The preacher’s voice was too loud. Teachings rooted in fear and condemnation were too loud. I had t...
I believe that purpose is not only a destination but it is the energy that pushes us toward its fulfillment.
I want to speak to the dream in your heart. That dream that has taken a backseat as you have strived to live up to something different.
Pay your bills, yes. But don't invest in them. Invest in your dreams. What you invest in grows.
Most people expect difficulty when pursuing their dreams, but aren’t prepared for a tidal wave of blessings. What if your success became a phenom? How can you prepare yourself so you won’t drown in it?
It is the doing of your calling that attracts the support of the God of the Universe. When I stepped into that space, the wind in my life changed direction. The doing rallied the Heavens. It was the voice of my faith. If you don’t do out of your be...
Fear is just a feeling. It ain't nothing but gum on the bottom of your shoe. Fear will make you throw the shoe away when all you need to do is scrape the gum off.
Your fear ain’t nothin but gum on the bottom of your shoe. The residue from some past experience is all it is. You can scrape the gum off or it can serve as a reminder of your testimony of survival.
Until you can allow yourself to feel without fear of criticism, rejection or abandonment--even self imposed fear--you will not and cannot hear the sound of your voice or the sound of your life.
Life is so much more about the experience than the destination. One will waste their life if they are waiting to reach a goal to celebrate. Still, it happens all the time.
What is interesting to me is people tend to congregate around whatever aspect of God is most familiar to them. Holiness folks, God’s righteousness and abhorrence for sin. Pentecostals, God’s indwelling Spirit and the signs that follow. There are ...
If there's going to be pain anyway, I'd rather it be the pain of growth than the pain of staying stuck.
If there's going to be pain anyway, I'd rather it be the pain of growth rather than the pain of staying stuck.
Your humility is what secures your future and there is nothing like accountability partners who keep you real.
Why is it that the older we get the more we lose that sense of wonder? We hold our heads down and, like little robots, march day after day to jobs we hate, work with people we’d rather not, and live uninspired lives. That’s the sin, if you ask me...
