Be Limitless

Just viewed the Christmas Day service live online from my from my home church in GA and the message was... Don't be afraid of who you are, Embrace how God made you, and live without limits because like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer you may be teased and talked about, but then you are called to save the day doing something that only you can do, it its you that will go down in history. This message hit home with me because I am unique among those that know me. I have mild Cere bral Palsy, I use assistive technology to walk and get around,I AM BLACK, well traveled, a Latin honor graduate of the  ‪#‎ 1HBCU‬  Spelman College, A Teach for America Alum, a first Generation College student, and now I am a law student. I embrace all the aspects of who I am. I am God's child who is blessed and highly favored. There have been many people who do not think I should be pursuing the path that I am on. They are afraid that it is too much for me to handle, or that I won't ever make it to th...

Watch where you are going

Hello Again, My last few videos were posted to allow my viewers to be entertained through great expression. I did this    because I needed inspiration. My mind has been so full lately.The past few months have not been the easiest, but they have also not been the hardest. The current chapter of my life will be ending in about 22 days. I have already completed my two years with TFA, and now I am trying to make it to law school. This road to greatness is filled  with challenges. Then again I am reminded again of the question posed by a dear friend: Where can I see God in all of this? The answer is simple really now that I think about it. Frederick Douglass said it best in his Emancipation of  West India Speech:       " The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, p...

God works in mysterious ways

He is exceedingly and abundantly amazing. He is the Alpha and the Omega. My only beginning and my only and. His Word says "good things come to those who love the Lord.  He is our Savior Jesus Christ sent to Earth by God to save us from sin. I shall not worry. Last night I was speaking to a Muslim friend of mine from college and I expressed to her my concerns about being able to grow in my faith the way she has grown since we graduated and she's been married. She told me that all praise goes to God. She refused any of the credit. All she did was ask him to help her and he did. He also sent someone who would be able to help her for life, her husband. I know that I'm still a work in progress but I'm trying. I know that trying isn't good enough though. I'll have to do the things I need to do to reap the benefits I desire. In the intermission between one phase of life and the next there's always chaos. People sometimes lose their way to their blessings because t...

Day 7- Where can you find God?

Big blessings can come in very simple packages. Yesterday I had lunch with some amazing people. One of my friends spoke about his introduction to ministry. He mentioned a game he would play where you are asked to identify God's presence in seemingly meaningless stituations or objects. The game is simple: Rule #1 Ask yourself where do I see God in this? Many times as a young follower of Christ I find it difficult to judge whether my behavior aligns with God's Word. My friend today reminded me that our God is omnipresent. In order to get the right answers you have to ask the right question. The right questions are not who, what, when, where, how, why. The one and only question that need to be asked for clarification is where do I see God in this? I was used as an example how to play the game. He pointed to a cup in front of me, but continued  explain the situation at hand. At that time I thought to myself that this silly game. But as I continued to contemplate his speech with ...
