You have to be quiet to hear God speak; to hear God’s vision. You can’t listen to God and the noise of life, at the same time. Just maybe the reason that you never hear God speak is that you're never in quiet space. In life, you must reserve some time alone with God. Hush for a moment, get still, and be quiet, listen and hear God speak to you. How much time do you spend being quiet and waiting on God to speak to you? Remember this God speaks to people who take the time to listen. Enter into your quiet time.

A seed planted in the dirt must grow in and through the dirt, to reach the sun light. In life, sometimes we too, must grow in and through the dirt, in order to reach our potential, our dreams, our promises. We must keep growing in the dirt, even when we cannot see the sun light. We must overcome the challenges of life and continue to grow through the process and one day; we too will see the sun light. It’s just a thought.

Sometimes you just have to push through the storm, to get to the other side. It’ may take some work, but in the end, it will be worth it. So, when you want to stop doing something because you feel a little resistance, remember this, stop fighting the wind and let the wind of your storm, push you to the other side. It’s just a thought.

"When you mess up in life, you should own it. Someone once said nothing beats the truth, even when you mess up."

"Don’t let anyone write your life’s narrative. No one can write you narrative as you can. You understand you better than anyone else, after all, it is your life’s story, and you control the narrative."

Today I am vowing not to stay stuck and to continue to hold onto things I know that I am supposed to let go of. So, here is my list of things I need to let go of.

"If you want to move forward in life, you must have a plan."

"When you are going through things in life, remember this. God is working behind the scenes. You may not see Him. You may not feel Him. You may not see, instant change, but trust me He is working behind the scene."

"Look, no apology will ever be good enough to put an end to the pain and reverse the damage. What I have learned is that you can’t outsource your healing. You must go through the process for yourself. When you wait for an apology, before you can start your healing process, you are allowing the person who harmed you to continue to harm you. You are letting them decide when the process should begin."
