I kissed my 20’s goodbye: 30 Lessons I learned in 30 years

Image
Like most 30 year old women, I thought I would be at a very different point in my life when I turned 30. However God had different plans for me. The quote that always makes me smile says; “You want to make God laugh, simply tell him your plans” lol. Despite my plans, God had some unexpected yet amazing things in store for me during my 20’s. I received a Bachelors, Masters and began a 2 nd Masters degree. I lived in 3 different countries, traveled to 4 continents and visited 11 different countries. I held a local and national beauty pageant title, I also got the chance to meet and interact with Hollywood actors and producers.   I wrote and directed an award winning play, taking it to Freeport and Nassau and I finally began a career that I love and moved into a condominium on my own all before the age of 30. So when I think about it my 20’s were pretty flicking awesome lol! There were not only accomplishments; there were also moments of love, disappointment and laughter. Howe...

Why is GOD Taking SO LONG???

Image
Have you ever thought to yourself, God is taking too long and I know that I am ready to handle this particular thing in my life right now? Have you ever said; this “promise” from God has to be a figment of my imagination because my miracle is taking way too long. As the microwave generation we want things NOW, when we want it and how we want it. The thing is the more “’prayed” up we are, the less humility we have to wait and trust God to see us through.  We've fasted so much we tend to get cocky and say “our miracle should be here by now”, we go to church every Sunday; so we deserve to have this blessing. Sarah, Abraham’s wife also felt this way. Sarah received word that her and Abraham would have finally a baby. This was something Sarah wanted for a long time and when God finally told her it would happen. She laughed because she couldn't believe in her old age that God actually decided to answer her prayer. I remember when I got the first delay for my new job. I...

30 is RIGHT around the corner, Excited or NAH??

Have you ever read Joel 2:25? The LORD says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you…" I’m almost exactly one month from my 30 th birthday and like most people getting up there in age, from time to time, I’ve caught myself in that ugly comparison game, that awful “What I should have done by my 30th timeline”. I honestly LOVE where I am in my career but sometimes I do wonder, what if I figured out writing, productions, events and communications was one of my first loves years ago. I daydream often imagining where in the world I would have been right now. Sometimes we compare ourselves to friends; wow at 30 he owns a condo, she owns her own business, he’s building his own house, and she makes a six figure salary. This one is able to take a three week vacation in Dubai and they have a 4 and 2 year old. What the heck have...

I’m in PAIN!!! What’s My Purpose Again ?

Image
Can I be real for a minute? I was supposed to write this blog last night but I had absolutely no motivation. I knew the month of January was supposed to be about purpose, but the enemy had been attacking me lately and honestly lately he had been winning. Last  night I watched Sarah’s Wedding hoping my accomplishment from this would put me back in the mood to write about purpose, but again NOTHING! I had good laugh at my amazing cast but the words weren't there, so I went to sleep. Today I woke up and the bad mood seemed as if it had gotten worse. I’ll be a little more transparent for a minute. Tomorrow makes exactly two years from the day I started my year commitment to not date for a year. I don’t regret one minute of this commitment or the journey it took me on. The amount of lessons I learned, things I saw, lives I got to touch and the purpose I found is simply irreplaceable. However I would be lying if I said I didn’t hope that God would place someone in my life on...

An Answered Prayer - It's a NEW Season

Image
Ever prayed for something for so long and then one day you woke up and realized God had smiled on you. Maybe you and your husband have been praying for a child and one day you finally saw two strips instead of one, maybe your luck in relationships had always seem to be toxic and then one day you realize you were finally walking to the alter to marry your soul mate, maybe you were praying for that dream house or condo and one day you walked into a bank and they smiled and told you, you've been approved. That blessing, that joy, that grace is when you smile the biggest grin because in that moment is when realize that you are FINALLY standing, living, basking in your answered prayer…. I use to talk about three (3) things that I began to beg God for in 2011, I mean beg him to answer and for three years he answered NONE! He remained silent. 2011 was a very hard year for me and I just wanted God to fix it all. However what I had to learn was that God is a God of order and alig...
