Happy New Year

I know....I know....I have been MIA...I make no excuses and ask that you forgive me.

Can you believe it – we are in a year of new beginnings and I can not tell you how excited I am. New Year’s Eve, I was reflecting back on 2007 and tears started to stream down my face as I thought about the awesomeness of God. The more I reflected the more I cried. My husband and children would ask me several times if I was ok but I was unable to speak.

REFLECTIONS…..
On the eve of 2007…I declared it a year of opportunities. I talked with God and I told Him that if He brought opportunities my way, I would not miss them. I added that I wanted 2007 to be a year in which I find passion, purpose, prosperity and peace. Reflecting back, the heavens must have started working the minute I spoke those words into the atmosphere. Had I known that those declarations would require an investment of well over $10,000 and heart failure – I probably will still be standing on the shores of life waiting for my ship to roll in.

Passion! The power of words! I have heard that statement for years but not until now have I known that statement to be true in the positive but I experienced it for years in the negative. There comes a time in everyone’s life when you make a decision to change for the better.

Purpose! Everyone has one but few no what it is. I realized that purpose was a BIG thing for me. Being a breast cancer survivor, I realized soon the importance of time. I know I petitioned God thousands upon thousands of time for my purpose.

Prosperity! In my pursuit of purpose, I came across a ministry to helped women discover their purpose. I was so excited FINALLY an opportunity.

Persistance! This P was not part of my original petition. God added this one for me. Remember that well over $10,000 investment I mentioned earlier. If you had told me January 1, 2006 that I would be required to invest $10,000 in myself – well let’s just say – I am glad you did not.

Peace! In September I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. I was released from the hospital with a positive prognosis however; I had to make some lifestyle adjustments in order for my heart to change. HALLEJUHAH! Later that month, I was blessed financially beyond my wildest dreams.

I am not finished yet….I’m just getting started and I encourage you to join me. Don’t let at this year as just another year. Look at it as a new beginning – believe in yourself!
