I need your brilliance

Genius is inspiring to me. I believe there is a degree of genius in everyone, because everyone is made in the image of God. God is pure brilliance and that brilliance resides in everything He has created. When I see genius, I see God. Whether it be musical genius or academic genius. I know it when I experience it. I believe a better word for "genius" is "brilliance". There are many attractive aspects of God. But it was "God's brilliance" that first attracted me to Him. I saw it first in His Son, Jesus. He was preached to me and I was awestruck by the brilliance of Jesus. The things He said, the way He responded to people. God's brilliance laid hold of me that day and never let go.

I believe it's very important to stir up the brilliance inside yourself. You should also surround yourself with people that stir up your brilliance. That is what you will impact the world with; your brilliance. I spot brilliance in people even if it's just a slight flicker. If it is just a slight flicker, that's just because they haven't stirred it up yet. We get so busy with our lives that we are not stirring up the gifts within us.

I inspire a path of discovering the brilliance that is within you because the world needs it and God wants you to share it. It is a deep journey inward. It requires examining your past. It requires prayer. It requires time. You have to believe that you are worth the investment of your time. I just recently came to the place where I realize that I am worth investing time in. That I need to stir up the brilliance within me and I need to share it. I can't keep it to myself. Brilliance will became rotten, inside you, if it's not shared.

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

Dead or Alive????

One day, when I was cleaning the kitchen, I had a bunch of stuff in my hand. Some stuff was trash, that I wanted to throw away, and some stuff was not trash. Would you believe that I went to the trashcan and tried to throw away trash, while trying to hold on to stuff that wasn't trash, in the same hand. Who does that?. When I threw my trash away, immediately I was like "Wait, did I throw something away that wasn't trash?". Honestly, I didn't know. Because it all felt the same in that one hand. I realized that when you are holding onto too much stuff at one time, everything in your hand begins to feel so natural, that it's hard to tell the difference between what you are suppose to be letting go of and what you are suppose to be holding onto. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Matthew 16:25-26 M

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
