Taking your "Now is the Time" moment to the next level involves intentional steps in both your internal and external worlds. Internally, it's about the private space between you and God, where He sees the depths of your heart, including things you haven't yet discovered about yourself. When a shift occurs, this space is filled with peace or courage, but when you’re distant from that shift, doubt and worry can cloud your thoughts. Externally, this shift must align your mind, will, and emotions. It’s when you lift your head, take a deep breath, and decide to move forward despite the obstacles. One of the key steps is getting dressed—not just physically, but mentally. Even when you’re feeling sick or exhausted, changing your outfit to match your mindset is a symbol of readiness and productivity. Your attire varies depending on the season, but dressing with intention is always necessary. Finally, writing it out allows you to trace God’s faithfulness, showing how He has equipped and matured you along the way. Writing down your thoughts and emotions provides clarity and helps you reflect on the journey, solidifying your progress and trust in His plan.

As I prayed about what to share for January, God prompted me to visit the lessons learned in marriage over the past year, which I typically share on social media in the days leading up to our anniversary. I hope these insights transcend the context of marriage and become tools you can apply to any season or role in your life.

The field may be tough, and the opposition fierce, but with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit on your side, you are unstoppable. Catch the ball, run your race, and know that every victory brings glory to the One who has already declared you more than a conqueror. The play is yours—make it count.

Our trials, though painful, serve a greater purpose. God often uses seasons of suffering to refine us, stripping away anything outside His will so that Christ’s life can be seen more clearly in us. This doesn’t mean the pain disappears, but it becomes a tool for growth. Through these experiences, we can testify to His sustaining grace, offering hope to those who feel overwhelmed by their own challenges. 

You weren't meant to be on the go 24/7. The hustle culture may glorify busyness, but it often leads to burnout and diminished work quality. Embracing rest is essential for your spiritual health. Here are three reasons why creating space for God is crucial: avoiding burnout, enhancing work quality, and focusing on your inner growth rather than just productivity. Remember, it’s about who you’re becoming, not just what you’re achieving. If you’re struggling to prioritize rest, I’m here to help. Let’s create a personalized plan to ensure you're thriving spiritually while being productive.

Excerpt: On October 6, 2017, I had the opportunity to be the speaker at an event I hold near and dear to my heart. That event was Miss Paul Quinn College Royalty Tea. I did not know what to speak and prayed that God gave me the right words to say. As I pondered what words to say, the word C.R.O.W.N.E.D was revealed to me. The acronym represented the things that I learned while I was a student at Paul Quinn College, during my reign as Miss Paul Quinn College and those things still serve me well to this day.

Many times we compromise our crown in corporate spaces when negotiating products and services. #OnTheBlog I am dropping jewels on how to stop comprising your crown. Comprising your crown isn't conducive to the calling that God has on your life, it dismantles the destiny that God has for you.
