Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!


Tomorrow is the national day of prayer. I know that we often brush off prayer because it seems like we don't get the answers we want and that the answers don't come as fast as we want them but the scripture above says to pray without ceasing. That doesn't mean we are o our knees all day but it does mean that we have a prayer in our hearts at all time. 

If you have a really good friend that lives in another city but you are truly friends you can start talking like you have had no time apart. That is how our prayer life should be. You and I should be able to pick up right where we left off. While we might not like our circumstances our open prayer line will help us to give thanks non the less.

What needs to be transformed in your life? Change is conditional and seasonal, transformation is revolutionary. Once you have been transformed you can't go back to what you were. You don't have the capability.

Wow, what a weekend. I was blessed by powerful, life-transforming word all weekend. I was also blessed to see some awesome seniors share their senior projects at North High. Some of the young people that are graduating this year are on fire. I am excited about our future. They are receiving the baton and running with it.

This came up over the weekend and I  hope it blesses you like it blessed me.

From the book of Esther. Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this.” Ladies, are you walking, talking, and thinking like you are the queen you have been called to be? Take your position. Access everything that is part of your inheritance. It's in your DNA. Don't let anybody dethrone you. You are a queen. You have been made for this. Every difficulty, rejection, backstab, crying night has prepared you to take your throne. Girl, you've got this. Handle your business.

Until tomorrow

2 Chronicles 7:14  (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I don't know if you have been watching all of the foolishness that has been taking place in our world but we have got to seeking God's face from a different place. While prayer is simply communication with our father this verse gives a bit of insight about what our posture needed to be. Humble. Not demanding of anything. Just seeking the fathers insight and direction what and when to pray.

The big thing here is turning from our wicked ways so that our sins are forgiven. We can't  keep indulging in the same sins and expecting to be healed. Healing comes as we turn and walk away from the things that have us unfocused. It's a new day with new opportunities to be healed, delivered, and set free.

For this morning, let's stay with the Resurrection thought of he got up so you could get up. Sometimes says like this can be come clique but I want us to look a little deeper. Many of us have situations in which we just need a pattern or example of how to move forward. Jesus was the perfect example of how to maneuver through people with your in there mouth while be focused on the goal.

See haters you will have but how do you stay focused on the goal in spite of their jaw jackin? Look at the examples set before you. Not a just Jesus but modern day men and women who have beat the odds. Tiger Woods is a great example of I can show you better than I can tell you.  Take the time to get up from your place of contemplation and move to your place of accomplishment. Just a few steps from here to there but we'll worth it.

Everybody doesn't have the same doors opened to them thst you have. Make sure you reach back when you can.

Maundy Thursday is the Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical gospels. It is the fifth day of Holy Week, preceded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday.

Who's feet will you wash? Who will you feed today? As we follow our Good Father he gives us an example of calm under pressure. Of dedicated to the cause. Many of us could have been this focused knowing death was right around the corner. Yet, he took the time to bring his boys together, feed them, and give them a final blessing. Great in his own right but not too proud to humble himself to wash the feet of his boys. Wow! Bless someone today.

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 1Corinthians 1:18 NLT

As we approach resurrection sunday it is time to really reflect on the benefits of the sacrifice. If Jesus had not chosen to be the perfect sacrifice for you and I we would not be saved. We would have no sacrifice without blimish to lift up. Yet, Jesus carried that cross just like he is carrying our burdens. He drug that cross as a symbol of carrying the weight and sins of this world. What a sacrifice of love.
While we were yet sinners he cared enough to sacrifice his life for our past and future sins. What a might God we serve. I will never know how much it cost to take my sins with him on the cross, but I'm glad he did. #forevergrateful

I don't know about you but sometimes I can get caught up in the perfection game. If it isn't just right then we can't put it out. While excellence is important don't allow perfection to keep you paralyzed. The difference between perfection and excellence is the effort you put into it versus the feeling of being stuck because you can't figure out how to make it right.

We are transforming day by day and gaining a better understanding of how and what needs to be done to fulfill our daily assignments. You and I are transversing through this assignment called life. You have the ability to make it what you want. Transform and grow with it.

How have your celebrated yourself? When was the last time you pat yourself on the back and said, "good job" sincerely? It's easy for us to wait for others to give us praise but sometimes we just need to lift ourselves.

Stay warm and give yourself a hug.

Sometimes in life you can be going through so many things at the same time that you can feel like you are drowning. Up, down. You get a little air and it's under the water you go. While I have not drown in the since that I died, but I have been in a situation where I was trapped under water for a considerable amount of time that created a great deal of panic. It's a surprise that I am still a water baby. It is in that moment of panic that you question your next moments.

Some of you have been asking God, "When will the overwhelming sense of drowning stop?" You don't seem to hear the answer that you want, but know that you are not in this alone. He is in the water. Just like in my situation, you will be snatched out and it won't be fatal. Trust the process.

Spiritual evolution is the process of upgrading one's ability to navigate through the obstacles of life while maintaining inner peace. When inner peace is present it will shine forth. Shed the people, places, and habits that dim your light.

1Corinthians 2:9 This what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Wow, no matter what I have seen, heard, or could even imagine is comparable to what God wants to give me. I just have to be prepared to receive what's been prepared. It's got my name on it and yours has your name on it. We all have something in store if we will just press in. Will you press past the temptation to get to the blessing?  It's waiting just for you.

As we think about transformation today we acknowledge world autism day. World Autism Awareness Day is an internationally recognized day on 2 April every year, encouraging Member States of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) throughout the world.

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects an individual's social and communication abilities. The earliest signs manifest before three years of age, and therapeutic interventions are the only possible treatments. Early detection helps autistic children get the special attention they need. Both the child and the parents need to develop coping mechanisms for dealing with the symptoms of autism. Therefore, as parents, you must be sensitive to your child's behavioral characteristics.

I bring this to you today because when our children are born with no diagnosed disorders we can be insensitive to people with children who transverse this world from a different perspective. It is easy to get annoyed with the kids making noises or flapping their hands but that parent is just as frustrated. While you are only exposed to 15 mins they live with all of the realities of the disorder every day.  Find a way to show a parent with a child who has other abilities love this week.

Until tomorrow

Today will be the best day of my life.
