“Yes a Million Times Yes"

The greatest choice in my heart and with my mouth was saying, “ Yes a million times yes,” to Jesus.

Then my whole life changed. I started to say yes to God‘s voice whether I liked what He told me or not.

Say yes to Jesus today!

I was listening to this podcast about this girl Jasmine. God gave her a gift she never knew was placed in her by God. Out of nowhere, He gave her the gift to play guitar, sing, and write songs that The Lord told her to write, and play. I related so much to that experience. I received a prophecy about becoming an author a year ago. The prophet said that when people would read my stuff something big would happen in their lives. The prophet saw people having testimonies, people with disabilities like dyslexia, and people with a lot of issues reading my stuff. He said the enemy only comes after pure gold. Pure gold is the calling God has for your life, so never let the enemy stop you from living out the dream God has placed in your heart. Only when I started writing my first book, I realized I was a writer my whole life. I had stacks of journals of letters to God, my friends, boys, brothers, parents, and letters to myself. My whole life story was on those pages. And when God speaks and shows you a vision, we have to take it and believe in God. God gave me a gift to bring the lost home, set the captives free, preach the kingdom of heaven, the gospel, and express the love Jesus has for each and every one of you in my writing. I said yes to God, the Author, and the Finisher of our faith about being an author. It was my second best yes!

Our gifts, calling, and dreams are placed in us and for us to capture it, expand the kingdom, and glorify God, to heal and love others. Our gift will advance the kingdom outside of the church and in the church. This journey is not about only inviting people to church, it’s about bringing the presence of God outside everywhere you go! Heaven is within us, let's pour out the love of God. Sharing about my writing, blogging, and getting ready for my first book to be published has opened doors to bring the presence of God in my workplace and with strangers everywhere I go. Many people have already told me how the blog and my devotionals on Instagram have brought them so much peace, when they read it's like I am speaking directly to them, and it's exactly what they need to hear from God. Calling is connected to the gifting of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20 " For all the promises of God find their YES in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory."

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is here. Be carriers of the kingdom. Heaven is expressed through the creativity God has blessed us with. The presence of God shows up in your creativity no matter if you are at church, or in the street, or in Barnes & Noble. (That's where you'll find me :) God stirs out the kingdom of God through you and me.

Let’s pour out the spirit of God by pouring out with your gifting, your calling. Let God move. Jesus come. My journey walking in God's calling and purpose for my life really started with my love for Him and His will. I wanted to obey Him in the unknown. I wanted to say, ”yes a million times yes,” to my love the one who called me by name, my Abba I say yes to all You have for me. ♥
