Happy Good Friday everyone! Have a wonderful and restful day today.

Even now, I reflect on how Jesus willingly died to redeem someone like me. I am still so unworthy of that grace. This is the image resonated with me when I saw it.

Isaiah 53: 10 - 11 explained the prophesy of Jesus' death on the cross to save people like you and me. Things are not perfect to to know I have the Lord in my corner gives me strength. I hope this is your reminder to trust in Jesus today. He made the ultimate sacrifice just for and He has His hands on you.

Despite my past, I still have hope for the future. No one can stop what God has in store for His children. 1 Peter 3:15 is very beautiful and relevant for me because people often know nothing about me and on sight they ask me if I have a relationship with God and why. I am always pleased to say that for me, God is a friend.

God will always be there for His children. Philipians 4: 6-7 (NIV) states "do not be anixous about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of those bible verses that I cling to when things do not make sense. When it feel as though you are being treated unfairly or are being asked to do something crazy by God because things are not going your way, just know that God is working it out for your good. His plans are to make you successful and put you on a path to walk into His best.

Plus, as Jeremiah 17: 9-10 states He knows the hearts of man so He has knowledge of sutuations you have no clue about. So despite what the surface of a situation looks like, remember that obeying God is your best path to getting what is best for you life.

He will never leave you, switch up on you (James 1:17), or make you do something that will harm you even if you have to lose somrthing or face adversity for a season. God knows best. Trust Him when it hurts and makes no sense.

"People like you when you show up in your old form. In your predictable form." - T.D. Jakes. I don't know who needs to hear this but let's face it, you may be afraid of what different may look like. However, God has instilled something in you when you have a goal, a dream, a desire, a vision that you are fixated on, or a crazy ambition that you cannot stop thinking about. God never gave it to anyone else. Just you.

Don't their negavity or your doubt in yourself bully you into mediocraty. Don't let the negavity that you internalized turn you into the very person who kills their own dream to fit into someone else's definition of you.

You cannot expect other people to understand your passion or want you to achieve your goals as badly as you do - even if they love you - because they didn't have that vision. You did. So you have to trust that if God placed that desire in your heart then He will provide you with the means to achieve it. In my entrepreneurship journey, Phillipians 2:13 (GNV) states: "because God is always at work in you to make you willing and able to obey His own purpose." That purpose was the vision He gave you.

As Romans 12: 2 (GNV) states "Do not conform yourselves to the standards of the world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God - what is good and is pleasing to Him and is perfect." STOP asking for buy in for the vision God gave you. STOP begging for others' permission to follow your dream. Allow God to transform your mind and circumstance so that you can do what is pleasing to Him by seeking Him first. If it is His will He will provide for you in His way in His timing.

The validation from others is meaningless anyway. Treat it that way. Your life will get better.

Client Parties are great opportunity to get some new prospects for your business by allowing people to bring guests or by opening it up to the public. There are many ways in which you can spin it so that it ia budget friendly and effective for your business. Likewise, you can open it up so you can raise awareness for your business. Either way, branding, a great vibe, nice music, AND great food with refreshments are a must.

You can provide all the food through a catering service, preparing it yourself,or with your desired source. You can also host it at a restaurant to subsidize the cost and providing some work around so people make their own arrangements for additional food.

You can make it a big networking event and gather the contacts when people stop by. You can even add raffles, games, or other pull factors as activities to get people to participate, share contacts, and invite others to join. Don't focus on talking business too much during the event though. It is good to start the conversation, get the contacts, and THEN follow up with an in-depth business discussion.

Let me know if this helped you. What was the most memorable client party that you ever attended?

Hello! Hello! Hello everyone! It has been a minute! I saw this and God put it in my heart to speak on it.

One of the biggest lessons I had to learn in my walk with God is that you cannot say that you love God and treat people poorly at the same time. I really like what Pastor Jerry Flowers ( TV on YouTube) says that "no one cares if you can speak in tongues if you speak mean to people in English". I swear 😆 this summed up my life nicely before I really started walking with God.

I would say that I love God and resented people for years. I would say that I love God but hate religion. I would say I loved God and openly walked through the church yard during a church service to go about my own business and not cared who saw me. I would say that I believe in God but idolized money, appearance, success in business, s*x, and validation from others. Then I would wonder why God was not funding my vision. "God does not bless what he does not favor." My life and business being stagnant and my heart being hardened by numerous toxic relationships as my reward for all of that.

"If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!" - Psalms 66: 18 - 20. I cannot be holding on to my sin or vices and expect God to bless my mess. He is not going to answer my prayers until I repent and seek His forgiveness.

"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." - Ephesians 4: 30- 32. God is not saying that people will not do foul or unfair things to you as a child of God. He NEVER said to be a push over either! He, however, said that you cannot allow circumstances to make you bitter and expect that God will bless you as a child of God.

Let us adjust how we treat others today. Take care of our hearts despite our circumstances. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Every challenge, every experience, and every delay has some lesson or value to be gained from it. Sometimes, those lessons are for us and sometimes we are used to bringing that lesson across to others. Romans 5: 3-5 says it best "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

However, rest assured that anything that you left or felt like you lost was you receiving a blessing in disguise. It absolutely hurts at the moment but look how many people die or are attacked on the news daily due to betrayal from people that they know. As Romans 8: 18 states " I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." We serve a God of restoration, rejuvenation, and reinvention. So anything that is disrupted, delayed, deceased, or destroyed will be made better AT THE RIGHT TIME as long as you trust God and have enough faith to follow Him. I really like what was said in Isaiah 41: 13: " For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." 

This too shall pass but while it is passing, you can still learn from it. One of the I learned is that you have to lose some things and some people to see what was wrong in the first place. Did you recently discover that you have fake friends? Recently got diagnosed with social anxiety? Are your finances messed up? It is an opportunity to trust God, work through the situation with His help, and see how He can show you how to find your blessings in the situation. Worrying about your situation will not give you peace. What will give you peace is letting go and trusting that God has got it.

"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." - Ambrose Bierce. I can tell you that she told no lies in this quote. Whenever I said something out of anger it always blew up in my face even if the other person was in the wrong and if I was provoked. This happens to entrepreneurs all the time and it is hard not to fall into this trap, especially if our reactions are justified.

I did not understand that until fairly recently the logic behind this bible verse, "Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools." - Ecclesiastes 7:9. However, it is now obvious that consistently reacting out of anger will lead to 'burned bridges', poverty, unnecessary conflict, and maybe even death. You miss a lot of opportunities by consistently reacting out of anger since any sensible person will avoid someone who always allows their quick tempers to lead them into drama. People like this will soon get hated like a person who becomes unknown for doing evil or unkind things. Proverbs 14: 17 rightfully states that "A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated."

One of the things I had to learn as a young adult was that in the face of an attack - especially in the workplace or in business is that "you are right until you are wrong". Meaning that if you are being treated unfairly, it is best to RESPOND strategically and never to REACT emotionally at the time. Some people just allow themselves to be used by the devil. When these people know your hot spots you will be triggered.

It is better to seek information, be silent, be strategic, and accept that everyone may not know the truth about what happened but it is ok as long as God knows the truth. An encouraging bible verse on this is "A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back." - Proverbs 29: 11.

Happy Friday everyone!
