Itā€™s not about just waiting, itā€™s about what youā€™re doing while you waitā€¦whew šŸ™ŒšŸ¾šŸ™ŒšŸ¾šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

If Iā€™m being honest, I havenā€™t been feeling like myself at all lately. And then the memory popped upā€¦.This month makes a year since I stepped out on Faith and left a career of 17+ years.

Apparently, there are still parts of me that is grieving what was.

Even with experiencing the faithfulness of God, The ā€œsurvivalā€ mentality still tried to creep up on me and rob me of my peace. I found myself becoming more and more anxious about what was to come and I begun to wanderā€¦why wasnā€™t I further along by now!!

From physically experiencing what felt like a ton of stress in my neck/shoulder area, to mentally experiencing creative block, I just couldnā€™t get it togetheršŸ¤§šŸ¤§, like I legit felt stuck!!!

And then it clickedā€¦.girlllllll you better let go,begin worshipping and get your praise on cause a breakthrough is near.

Yall, like I legit started praise dancing in my kitchen TODAY, because ainā€™t no way im going to willingly allow the enemy (inner me..including my thoughts)ā€”-have what rightfully belong to me.

So here I amā€¦Iā€™m outside yall (meaning I made it out of my stories and on the page) lol

No but seriously, if you can relate to any of this, let this encourage you.

God is about to do a new thing. Iā€™m not saying this to make you feel goodā€”Iā€™m saying this to remind you why itā€™s important that you fight through the adversity! Let go of your desire to control, Put a praise on it and begin to worship God like never before. There is no safer placeā¤ļø

God has need of you in the Kingdom and you canā€™t make the impact you are called to make if youā€™re silent and not being intentional in your waiting season!!! The truth is, God is really waiting on you to show up differently while you ā€œWait on himā€!!!

How you been friend? What are some things youā€™re intentional about doing while in your waiting season?

**Youā€™ll never hear me say giving your yes to God is a smooth walk in the park because babyyy it ainā€™t, but when we surrender and allow God to be God, there is a peace like no other, in all seasons!

People ask all the time how I do it all. My response always have and always will be ā€œI DONT!!ā€ Itā€™s the Holy Spirit thats within me that I have to call!.

And when there isnt peace in the chaos of it all, itā€™s the Holy Spirit that lets me know to get back in alignment!

The Holy Spirit is a friend, for sureā€¦for every one that will believe.

So the next time life get disorganized and all out of whack, If youā€™re a believer, I encourage you to get back in position and call on the Holy Spirit that will grace you to do the ā€œhard thingsā€ with ease.

Truly a beautiful gift to have access toā€¦make use of it and never take it for granted.

Thankyou Father for the Gift of the Holy Spirit! #Liveintentional

Iā€™m Not Trying to sound deep, I Just Want To Be Obedientā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

The thing that keeps me showing up..

Even with my imperfections and insecurities

even when Life be liFing

even when being judged and misunderstood

even when it seems like no oneā€™s Watching

Even with fear and discomfort

Is I that I understandā€”ā€”ITS NOT ABOUT ME!

ā€¦Neither is it about you!

You see, the enemy wants your words of encouragement, wisdom, revelation, your story, your books, the business ideas heā€™s given you, to remain in your head and never come out of your mouth! He want your visions to never leave the paper you wrote them on.

Long story short, He wants nothing good that was INTENDED to build the Kingdom of God..be manifested in the earth.

He wants you to remain self consumed!!!!!!

This is why you must live intentional. You werenā€™t born to simply exist. Know and accept that God has created YOU to be a Glory carrier and you carry it by being obedient in knowing when to speak up and when to showup!

The next time you have an oppurtunity to do either, I pray you allow this message to bring comfort and minister to you louder than the discomfort you may experience because in the end, itā€™s not even about you!

How will you be more intentional about being obedient and showing up todayā“1 Samuel 15:22

šŸ’«Long PostšŸ’«

Since transitioning from behind the chair, Iā€™ve had a few people ask ā€œDo you think youā€™ll ever miss doing hair?ā€

Although I still grieve what wasā€¦ To answer the Question, chileeee no! For one, I got FOUR girls, and three thatā€™s always telling me how they want their hair. Trust me I have enough heads to keep me busy.

And for two, Iā€™m after fulfillment and true success for me is walking in my true identity and being in Gods will! If it wasnā€™t for instructions/obedience, Iā€™m sure I wouldā€™ve still been doing hair but we all know obedience is better than sacrifice!

For As long as I could remember, I did HAIR! I went from doing hair as a hobby to receiving my first paying client in the 7th grade. In 10th grade, I started journey to becoming a professional stylist.

From there, through my college years, growing a family, and relocating, I continued to stand behind the chair.

A career as a successful stylist had its perks! It allowed me to make my own schedule, meet amazing people, and make quick money..,easy!! Many people identified me as the girl that did hair good.

But then I started discovering my true identity in Christ! I wanted to know more about the girl God created me to be and what my purpose was.

This was when I realized that me being a great stylist was simply scratching the surface. He quickly revealed to me that my identity and purpose was not tied to how well I did hair.

Can you say freedom!!!My prayer life even changed. I begun to pray that God aligned my desires with his will for my life šŸ„¹šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

It took years of me breaking down old mindsets and surrendering parts of me to God to finally get to the place where I was confident enough to not just embrace the talent/gift he gave me with my hands, but to more importantly begin to accept my Voice.

Whew, this was different for me. My voice??? The very thing the enemy attempted to take from me? It felt so weird.

It was end of last year, When he first told me to transition from behind the chair, I was so afraid. ATP I understood my identity wasnā€™t tied to my career but babyyyy my financial security sure was! (My exact thought was : What about my COIN DEAR GOD!) šŸ„“

But he would often remind/reveal to me that there was soo much more inside of me than what I could do with my hands. šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

Now I can truly say..As a vessel chosen to encourage and impact others through first hand experience for Gods Glory, it brings more fulfillment than anything Iā€™ve done. Whether In hair industry, Motherhood, you name it. Its unmatched!

Today makes 5 months since Iā€™ve left my salon suite and God has proven himself mighty in more ways than a few!šŸ˜­ (will share in a later post)

But for now,

šŸ’«I want to encourage you, if GOD is telling you to do a thing, do it! Whether you fully understand it or not. Whether youā€™re afraid or not because youā€™re forever evolving and so is your purpose. True success is not tied to a particular thing but it can always be found on the other side of your yes!!!!!

Wow in one month, GOD blessed this channel with 11,000 + followers! (Read below for testimony) We would like to Thank our amazing Phenomenal youtube family for 12,000 subscribers! We truly TRULY appreciate yā€™all!

If youā€™re believing God for the supernatural, or if youā€™re even going through a low seasonā€¦ keep reading for the testimonyā¤µļø

Was supposed to post at 1,000 but everything happened so fast! And then I changed my mind about posting at all, However I dare not take advantage of this oppurtunity to glorify Christ and his faithfulness! #testimony

If you knew the intricate details behind this Catapult moment, you would truly celebrate him with me!!

After intentionally trying to grow my channel for over a year, I couldnā€™t seem to make it pass the 500 mark for anything. All I knew was to remain consistent.

But let me tell you about our good father aka GOD!!!!! He literally took one of my lowest seasons everā€¦.
The season he instructed me to REST! Thatā€™s rightā€¦ rest and sit at his feet!

The season he instructed that I be still, cut out all outside noise and listen! The season, from obedience, I had to gave up my ā€œfinancial securityā€ by stepping from behind the chair after 17 yrs+ doing what I absolutely loved. The season I found out I was pregnant the 7th time around which met my body would experience fatigue and so many more changes.

ā€¦THE SEASON WHICH I WOULD GRIEVE ALL THINGS OLD TO EMBRACE ALL THINGS NEW!

Life as I knew it, was not the same! So I experienced grief as I died to myself yet again!

But GOD! šŸ™ŒšŸ¾ He just keep showing his hands and thatā€™s enough to remain encouraged and keep going!

There is absolutely no one BUT GOD that can use your lowest moments to elevate you in this way! Itā€™s not the amount of subscribers that I rejoice for! Itā€™s the power of God and his faithfulness! Itā€™s the oppurtunity to influence and impact at a greater capacity!

šŸ’«Itā€™s that he can take something so minute from our hand and create something much greater in no time when we obey and surrender!

šŸ’«Itā€™s that he can enlarge our territory and increase our ability to impact even when we are in a low seasons where we struggle with whether or not we even made the right decision or if we even qualifyā€¦because itā€™s during these times he builds character, clarity, and help prepare you for your next!

šŸ’«Itā€™s that when we seek God, he will NEVER leave us hanging ā€¦even in our low seasons when we feel he isnā€™t near. WHEN we pay attention to even the smallest details, there is still a reason to be grateful and keep going. He will always show himself mighty, strong and FAITHFUL!

Itā€™s all PURPOSE!

This is why I rejoice!!!!! This catupult moment was a reminder that as long as we do what he call us to doā€¦ he will ALWAYS do what he promised!

āœØIā€™m here to use the gifts heā€™s gifted me to do just that by living life intentional and bringing others on this journey with me! āœØ

How will you use your influence/ platform to impact those around you?

ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-
(Stay tuned as I will soon be sharing content on my personal self discovery journeyā€¦how it started how itā€™s going and how living life intentional on the foundation of GOD have pivoted me to purpose)
