5 Ways to Speak Confidently on Stage
Happy Resurrection Day. Happy Easter.
Faith-Based Female Speakers: Raise Your Voice & Get "Loud"
Hello Speakers, this is Sharon, the Faith Coach. Hey faith-based female speakers and entrepreneurs. I hope all is well. How are you? I wanted to come in today and encourage you to continue to quote “get loud” end quote. We have been through too much in life not to lift our voices and speak. We have something to say and if we don’t start saying it, someone will. Don’t let anyone take your place. Don’t let anyone tell a story you should be telling to the people God has for you to speak to. We have to raise our voices. God has got us covered. Proverbs 31:8 says "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."
Here’s something I want to to say to you regarding getting loud: Tell your story. These are 3 elements of your signature story:
1. Tell a story that will enhance your talk
2. Tell a story you want to tell
3. Tell a story you triumphed over
Of course there are other things to consider when creating a signature story that aids in our signature talk. Yet we have to start somewhere even if we don’t have all the answers and everything is not perfect. Here’s a tip, nothing will ever be perfect, yet when we start, we can create amazing things that we can continuously strive to perfect. And although we will never get to perfection, the journey is trying to get there will enable us to get to greater and greater. Have fun in your journey of speaking. You will get there and I will do all I can to help you. It’s my pleasure to do so.
I’m Sharon, the faith coach. I help emerging and aspiring faith-based/Christian women entrepreneurs use their God-given gift to serve, speak on virtual and live stages, and build online businesses so they can walk in faith and freedom.

520. .Protecting My Peace - Day 105 - Investing in Yourself is Smart Business
I had to step out and invest in business coaches and I had to start thinking bigger. One day I decided to go for it and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made business-wise and personally.
My investments have been worth every penny and I haven’t looked back.

519. Protecting My Peace - Day 104 - Believe in Yourself, Don’t Worry About the Noise
Just remember, do what YOU do. If it’s truly in you it’s going to last. You’re going to go far with it and as long as you stay in tune with God, you’re going to win. So, stay focused.
Remember, God qualifies the called, not those who think we’re already qualified, because we think we did everything without God. Nope, it doesn’t work that way. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 says, “but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.”
Keep doing your thing.

517. Protecting My Peace - Day 102 - Do It Regardless
516. Protecting My Peace - Day 101 - Being an Entrepreneur Takes Fire
When it comes to building our business, we may be uncomfortable and nervous, but we still have to do “scary” things to go forward. That’s how we bring the heat — the fire.
Are you willing to use your gift to build, create, and do monumental things? If so, you can indeed do those extraordinary things, but remember it’s going to take stepping out and making bold choices. If we are willing to do that, we will help others and also make money in our business.
So, be bold, be confident, and go forth in doing the things God told you to do. You can do it. You can bring it.

#514 Protecting My Peace - Day 99 - Anyone Can Help Anyone
Do you know anyone can help anyone? Yes, anyone can help any of us with anything we need help with. We can't stop us our blessing, because we think we're too small or too big for someone who may look different than what we think they should look like.
We have to be open if we are to go to next level in our lives and our businesses. Are you ready to go to new levels? If so, be ready to embark on new and unchartered territory. It can happen for any of us who is willing to do the work.

513. Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up
“Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

512. Protecting My Peace - Day 97 - Move and Make Things Happen
I remember seeing a woman walk and walk and walk in my neighborhood. At the height of the COVID-19 quarantining she walked 4 times a day. Really. I was so impressed with that, because she was on to something. She knew, strong body, strong mind. She didn’t sit or lay around. She moved to make things happen.
We can do the same.

511. Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness
When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us.
It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certainly does not come as a surprise to me, because I know I'm flawed and drop the ball constantly. Yet, we rise. We rise.
And guess what else? God is still with me and He's still with you too. He knows we are human and we fall short. He loves us regardless, which means we have many chances to get things right as we continue on to next level greatness. We will get there as long as we don't give up.
We have to continue moving on even if it's at a snail's pace. At least we're moving is all that matters.
510. Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power
Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.

509. Protecting My Peace - Day 94 - Love Yourself More Than You Love Other People
I'm not saying, love ourselves so much that we don't love or help others. I'm just saying it's ok to put ourselves first in a positive way and ensure we are taking care ourselves. When we nourish ourselves, we can be much more productive and healthy for others. It's about thinking higher of ourselves and not putting others ahead of our lives.

508. Protecting My Peace - Day 93- Step Out Even If You’re Nervous
When it g comes to your life and your business, are you putting yourself out there? Are you stepping out? Trying something new? Trying something exciting? Starting something you haven’t done before, but always wanted to do? If so, awesome, keep going. You’re going to get there. If not yet, I’m with you in praying for more confidence and the strength you need to get there. Stay faithful.
I want us to succeed in doing what we love. There are so many people who don’t do what’s it their heart. That was once me and my lack of confidence was holding me back. Don’t be that scared little person like I was who worried about what people thought. Step out and do what’s in your heart, even if you’re nervous. Your life and your business will thank you for it.

507. Protecting My Peace - Day 92 - If You’ve Ever Been Called, “Weird”...This One’s For You Kid
If You’ve Ever Been Called, “Different, Weird, Crazy, Out there, Stuck up...This One’s For You Kid. This one’s for you kid. And you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. I’ve been called those things many times over the course of my life, because I was the one who didn’t want to be like everyone else & today I’m still that person. Those words I was called never really bothered me, because they were others perception & I could only be myself. So, if you’ve ever been called those things & if you are today, which, by the way, I was just called some of them as recently as a month ago, laugh & let it go.
Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Don’t be afraid to stand alone. Don’t be afraid to go after your dreams. Don’t be afraid to do the hard things. I promise you, you will be better for it & so will the people you will help. There are people who need you to show up. They may not have it in them yet or ever to show up for themselves & you’re the one God has sanctioned to encourage & inspire them. You headed the call & you chose to be chosen & used. Great for you, warrior, lion, champion.
Congratulations for stepping up.

506. Protecting My Peace - Day 91 - Things That Are Not Ideal, Can Change for the Better
How are the things in your life? Do you like what you have? Don't have? Whatever the answer, just know that things change.
Let's take things that may not be ideal right now Like maybe you have a less than desirable house, car, or whatever. Know that as long as you speak positive over your situation, believe in yourself, and of course believe God, then grind as much as possible, things will change. They really will. If you can't do all of those things at once (speak, believe, and grind), I totally get it. I completely understand. It was hard for me at one time in my life too. Yet, what I did know is that the things I was lacking was temporary. That's right, I knew God would make a way out of no way, I knew my situation would change, and I believed I would get better. Things eventually improved in my life and things will improve in your life too.
Continue having faith. Faith is never overrated. Faith moves mountains. Remember that always.
505. Protecting My Peace - Day 90 - Our Mental and Physical Place in Life Can Always Improve
I remember being in a state and city I disliked and no matter how much I tried to like it, I never did and never will. It was so much different than who I was, but I made the best of it, because I always knew it was temporary. I continued to work hard on my dreams and I did achieve great things there. But when it time to go I pretty much ran to a place I wanted to be. And when I got to that new place, my mental health got better, because I was happier there. I was like a fish in water and big things started happening.
What I'm saying is that even though we may find ourselves in a mental or physical place, we don't have to resign ourselves to being there forever. We can still see the vision God has for us and we can continue doing the work to get there.
Never settle. Dream always.

504. Protecting My Peace - Day 89 - Don't Let People Stop Your Flow
When it comes to ensuring your peace is paramount, don't let people, places, and things stop you, your flow, or your grind. Stay focused on the great places you're going and where God is taking you. If anyone is trying to discourage you, don't let them get into your head. Look straight -- look vertically -- look towards heaven and stay connected to where God is taking you.
Years ago I used to let people stop my gifts and talents, because of what they said or didn't say and I don't want that to happen with you. I went through all I went through to tell you, you don't have to go through stagnation in your gifts, because of a bunch of chickens who are afraid of eagles.
Fly eagle, fly.
503. Protecting My Peace - Day 88 - Are We Minding Our Business?
When it comes to our business, are we minding it? Are we minding our business literally and figuratively? It's about spending time with people who mind their business, figuratively and literally. It’s about being around people who lift people up, not tear them down. It’s about being around people who bring peace and goodness in the world. It’s about being around people who are building their empires, not tearing them down. It’s about being around people who want to share with entrepreneurs and learn from entrepreneurs.
That’s what it’s about: spending time with people who mind their business.
502. Protecting My Peace - Day 87 - Will You Be Better Off Next Year?
Although none of can predict the future, we can at least prepare for it. My questions regarding that are this: since time is going to pass anyway, where do you see yourself in a year? Will you be the same, better, or worse? Will you be closer to living the dream you have for your life? Will be operating in your online business no matter how small? Do you see yourself in a better place?
Envisioning where we want to be and what we want to be doing, is paramount to a successful business and life. We have to at least "see" it -- we have at least see what God has for us. I've come to encourage you to work towards doing something everything to build your online business and you will get there. It won't be overnight, but you will get there. Believe it.
501. Protecting My Peace - Day 86 - Doing Great Things, Takes Great Effort
When it comes to your online business or future online business, what is your nitche'? What is the thing you love doing? Do you know the gift God has given you can multiply the more you use it? Are you using your gift? Do you know what it is? Just know it's going to take effort and no matter what the reality is, we can still do what we want to do in life. It doesn't matter how long it's taking, we can still look forward and get what we want. God will move those mountains into the sea.
In order to become stronger in your gift and building your online business, continue reading this blog and listening to this podcast in order to stay informed and focused. When we're informed and focused it's easier to stand confident. When we stand confident, guess what? We will believe on new and exciting levels in going to where God has for us to go. Believe it.
500. Protecting My Peace - Day 85 - The Cycles of Life, Time to Change Connections
Get ready for the shifting. Sometimes in the different cycles of life, we have to go in diverging directions from people we have connected with. Those connections may have been for a long time, but it may be time to shift and move from them. What I mean is that the alignment with certain people has changed and that's ok. No hard feelings. We may still value and believe the same things, but the specific things we have going on differs from they have going on. We have shifted to a new attitude of bigger when they have an attitude of smaller. We still love each other and we still wish each other well, it's just that things are different now and we are starting to align with new and exciting thinkers.
So be alright with God who may well be the author of things shifting in your life and when that's the case, all will definitely be ok. It really will.
499. Protecting My Peace - Day 84 - Watch Who You Let Speak Into Your Life
Regarding your gift and protecting your peace, we have to watch who we let speak into our lives. Who are we listening to? Are we around eagles or chickens? Do we let people talk us out of doing what lives in our heart regarding creating different things for our brand and our products for our business? Listen, whatever you want to do, do it as long as you know it's right for you and your business. If you're around great coaches, consultants, and mentors who are giving you good feedback that you can weigh in what's right for your business, go with it.
What I'm saying is that we can listen to the wisdom of the people who want greater for us. And can weed out the noise and the distractions, because they are coming from negative places. So know who you are and who you want to serve and keep moving in that direction.
498. Protecting My Peace - Day 83 - Are You Afraid of Using Your Gift?
I want to continue talking about our God-given gift and fear. Are we afraid of using our gift? Are we letting people talk us out of being focused towards what our gift will do for us and where our gift will take us? Are we planting that gift in good soil, nourishing that gift, and giving it the TLC it needs? We have to continue building despite what we may see around us. We can't let fear get the best of us. I used to operate out of fear and didn't know it until I got out of it. Now I can think back and say, 'oh no, I now realize how I used to think and no mas! I don't ever want to think in a self-defeatist way. I know God has more for me and my business.'
Bottom line: keep moving forward no matter what you may see in the natural. Keep your eye on the vision God has for you and do something everyday to appreciate that gift. It doesn't matter what is around us, we can use our gift for good; to help people; and to build an empire. Yes we can. Be bold and courageous. God's got you. He didn't put that gift in you for nothing. He remembers.
497. Protecting My Peace - Day 82 - It's Ok To Make Money With Your Gift
Let's continue our conversation on your God-given gift. Remember it's ok to make money in your gift, but answer this question: are you using your gift to help yourself and to help others? Do you have your eye on God's vision for your life? If so, great, keep walking towards it. If not, that's ok, but it's time to start walking towards it. Yes, it's time to stop being afraid. It's time to go forth and multiply. Use your gift for good and God will see to it that you are even more blessed in your life and your business. God will see to it that you will continue to be blessed when you are serving people using our gift. He will do that for everyone of us. Yes, He will.
Don't be afraid to do something everyday to build your gift. You will grow better and stronger each day. Then your online business will eventually come as a result. You can do it. You really can. YOU.
496. Protecting My Peace - Day 81 - Don't Worry About the Social Media Joneses
Reminder: you have no competition. Got it? Great.
As I said during yesterday's podcast episode (Protecting My Peace - Day 80), we have no competition, so continue to build your business going full steam ahead. We can't worry about the social media and internet Joneses. All we can do is stay in our lane and when the Lord God tells us to change course, we do just that. As long as we're in tune with what He is saying, then growth will happen even if it's later than sooner.
There was a time in my life when I was afraid of rejection, afraid of judgment, afraid of failure, and afraid of success. As a result I didn't move on my deepest desires. One of those desires was to speak publicly, which is what I'm doing today. I will speak more about this on tomorrow's episode (Protecting My Peace - Day 82).
Just know that you can do what you want and be what you want. Just give yourself time and be open to embracing people. Greater will happen when we are stronger, focused and determined more than ever to get all that God has for us.
495. Protecting My Peace - Day 80 - You Have No Competition
When it comes to protecting your inner peace and the peace of your business, do you know you have no competition? Nope, you don't. There are people doing what you do, but they are no threat or competition, so run your own race. Run the race God has set for you and you. Hebrews 12:1 says, "therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (NIV) and another version is, "therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." (NLT).
Bottom line, stay focused on what you're doing in your life and business and you will make it, because you will be more narrow and targeted in where you're going. Remember, you have no competition.
494. Protecting My Peace - Day 79 - Your Gift Blesses You to Be a Blessing
How are you doing with your God-given gifts? Are you using them to the best of your ability? Your gifts will still make room for you (Proverbs 18:16), remember that. And also remember that our gifts are not only for us, they're for us to be a blessing in order to bless others. They're not for selfish gain or to say 'look at me, look at me.' Our gifts are to expand the things God wants us to expand regarding His kingdom of light, love, justice, equal rights, peace, joy, and things similar to those. If our gift is not promoting any relating to those things, then there's a problem and perhaps we may not be using our gifts properly.
So if you're using and living your gift every day, continue to do that as you improve your life and the lives of others around you. Nothing is too small when we're grinding every day. Keep using those gifts.
493. Protecting My Peace - Day 78 - Don't Let Other People Live Your Dream
How are you doing today? Are you encouraging yourself in the Lord God? I certainly hope so and I've come to remind you that you will do what God said you would do -- yes, you will do the special things that live in your heart that God put there. Don't you give up, because of what things seem like in the natural scheme of things -- don't you give up, because it seems everyone else is living your dream. No, you WILL survive and you WILL thrive. Do you believe how much God has for you? Do you believe the vision hasn't moved? Well, believe it, because it's true. God still has the best for you and He wants the best for you. The vision is still there.
If God brought me out from a dark place I was going through a hard time years ago, He will do the same for you. Yes, you can live every ounce of the dream He has for you. Yes, you can live the gift that has been deliberately placed in your heart. God will do it. Yes, He will. Stay encouraged always.
492. Protecting My Peace - Day 77 - Show Up For Yourself and Show Up For Others
This is a continuation of our discussion on the importance of doing more. And when we commit to something, doing more may simply mean showing up. Do you show up for yourself? Do you show up for others? Who do you show up for?
I remember a time when I didn't want to show up -- I didn't want to get up for a commitment I made. I was to be at a walking event and it included networking. Yet when the morning of the event came I didn't want to get up and get going, but I thought about the event organizer and decided that going was the right thing to do no matter how I felt. I ended up going and I made a great friend with a person who also showed up. We were of two different ethnic background (me, black and she, white). We immediately made a fast business connection -- diversity at work once again when we are willing to go outside our comfort zones by showing up and doing more, right? At any rate, we can do more by showing up for people. When we show up for people. we show up for ourselves. When we show up for ourselves, we show up for people.
Do more.
491. Protecting My Peace - Day 76 - Doing More May Mean Being Inconvenienced
Are you doing more in your personal life and business? Doing more may mean being inconvenienced, which can also mean going out our way in order to get blessings for our lives. When someone conducts training, workshops, or other functions, do we sign up, enroll, or register, but don't show up? Do we make excuses as the days and hours come upon us? Do we convince ourselves that we have something more important to do when we don't? If that's the case, then we're probably missing out on important information and key resources that will help us go forward.
Consider this: the people who show up -- who do more -- are the ones who will get more abundance.
490. Protecting My Peace - Day 75 - You May Be the First in Your Family to Get Abundance and Prosperity
What are you doing to continue showing up for yourself? Are you striving and thriving? That's what we have to do in order to continue going forward. It doesn't matter what we are going through, if we want to get ahead -- if we want to get to the vision we have for our lives, we must trudge on. You can have what you want, you can have a better life, and you can get what Proverbs 13:22 says, which is, "a good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous." That means you can help your family and friends. You can leave something for them.
And you can also be the first in your family to get the abundance and prosperity God promises any of us. Bottom line: keep going, keep grinding, and keep your head lifted towards heaven. God's got you.
489. Protecting My Peace - Day 74 - Continue to Protect Your Peace by Setting Boundaries
Regarding protecting our peace, we have to keep on keeping on, on what we need to do as we continue protecting our peace and setting boundaries in our lives. Yes, we are still talking about those boundaries of protection, because they help maintain our joy and peace. Boundaries also help us get clearer in our minds in where we are going, as well as, enable us to get around the right people. Be around the people who are positive and helpful who can serve as mentors, coaches, and consultants and give us feedback in love with our best interest at heart. Be around the people who care about us and want to steer us in the right direction. We can also be that same type of person as we help encourage people, as well. Win - win - win.
Continue to set those boundaries.
488. Protecting My Peace - Day 73 - Stay Around Positive and Productive People
In this sub-series on boundaries, we are still talking about protecting your peace by staying around positive and productive people. Weed out the negative and toxic, because we must be around the things that will make us grow, not die in spirit. Setting boundaries allows us to focus and prosper in what God has for our lives. We are doing nothing wrong when we set boundaries in a polite, respectful, and considerate way. We do not have to say or do anything negative or ugly in the process. Being the stronger person is about displaying the traits Jesus had and continues to bestow on us. Jesus always took the higher road and He always maintained a position of love and strength. We can be more like Jesus too as we set boundaries in our lives. Remember that.
487. Protecting My Peace - Day 72 - Setting Boundaries Is Important In Your Life
How are you doing with setting boundaries in your life? We are still on the sub-series of boundaries and the importance of setting them in your life. They must be established in order to keep out the people who do you no good. Do you there are people who will take advantage of our kindness in a minute if we let them? So we have to remain diligent and protect our peace always. When we do that, then we can build in emotionally, spiritually, and physically strong environments for our lives and the lives of others we will help. That's what happened when I finally started to know, believe, and walk in what God was telling me -- I started having boundaries.
486. Protecting My Peace - Day 71 - Why It's Important to Have Boundaries
In our Protecting My Peace 'Sub-series' we are still discussing boundaries and why it's important to have them. It's about valuing ourselves and standing strong in self-respect regarding how others treat us. Setting boundaries may involve saying goodbye to having others in our lives if they can't adhere to being respectful and considerate towards us and others, at a minimum. Setting boundaries may involve distancing ourselves from people who love drama because of their toxic world they live their lives in.
It's ok to walk away from those people until there is a consistent amount of positive and productive treatment by them. Take nothing less than top treatment. I'm not saying people should bow down to us, of course not. I'm just saying we are value (Psalm 139:14) and people can respect us just as we respect them with no abuse from either party.
Setting boundaries has made me feel better about myself and thus, has allowed me to focus more on my well-being and that of my business. I will always have boundaries.
485. Protecting My Peace - Day 70 - Protect Your Peace Against "Abusive" People
We are still talking about boundaries, which involve protecting us against "abusive" people -- emotionally abusive people. It's important to stay away from people who try to steal our peace and joy. If that means not partaking in their nonsense, so be it, because we will be better off for it in our personal and business lives. It's something I have started doing when I finally opened my eyes to what was being done regarding the negativity spewing out from certain people. I had enough and now I am in a better place of refocus on the things that really matter.
So, set boundaries from the people who don't respect you or your voice. You will be fine as you continue your climb upwards and God will bring better people into your life. It will happen as you continue the positive road of success and victory.
484. Protecting My Peace - Day 69 - Set Boundaries for Emotional, Spiritual, & Physical Health
Continue to protect your peace and part of that means setting boundaries in order to maintain our emotional, spiritual, and physical health. Don't let any person get in the way of that. There are some people who are negative, narcissistic, and toxic who want to take us off our top performance and off our peak performance. We can't let that stop us. We must carry on with the God-given gift He has given us. Whatever that gift is, focus is key to moving to new levels and helping the people who need to hear from us. Don't feel bad for protecting your peace and setting boundaries for your personal and business life. You're not doing anything wrong.

When it comes to protecting your peace, it's important to focus on you emotional health and the health of your business. If you have started a business, awesome, keep building.

Different races bring different perspectives based on an individual's walk and their experiences, which are needed in any business, as well as, in life. So continue to expand your mind and your business. You will be better for it.
482. Protecting My Peace - Day 67 - Distance Yourself From Certain People, Places, and Things
How are you doing regarding protecting your peace? Are you taking breaks? There's nothing wrong with doing going on a brief hiatus. In fact, I recommend it. We all need to continue to reflect, yes, however, sometimes we have to isolate ourselves from our surroundings. Jesus did that, so it's all good. Just know that if anything is getting in the way of you showing up strong, weed it out by deleting it from your life. That may mean distancing yourself from certain people, places, and things.
And as a reminder for all business owners/entrepreneurs, what are you doing regarding diversity and bringing in people who look, think, and act differently than you? We have to give people a chance to come into our businesses. We can indeed do that as we continue to keep our standards and values high. There are many people who will be an added benefit to your business. Check them out.

480. Protecting My Peace - Day 65 - Stay True to You and What You Want to Do
This message is to stay true to you and what you want to do in your life. We can't worry about what we see or think we see on social media or the internet. When we stay in tune with what God says, we will make it. God is qualifying us, because that's what happens when we focus on Him and not focus on what people think. So continue to get up and get going. You will make it, you will get your heart's desire, and you will get the great things the Lord God has for you. It will happen when it's supposed to as long as you keep going.
479. Protecting My Peace - Day 64 - Write Your Goals and Stay True To You
This is just a reminder to continue writing your goals and stay true to showing up for yourself. There will some people, places, and things that may come against you and what you're trying to do. Don't let those things bother you or get you off your A-game. Remember, David (1/2 Samuel); Joshua, and Esther had many battles that came against them, but they never gave up. Don't you either. You will win the war only as you continue winning more of the little, medium, large, extra-large, and gigantic battles. You will win. Believe it as you continue protecting your peace. God's got you.
478. Protecting My Peace - Day 63 - There's Something About the Power of The Pen
Let's talk about goals. Are you writing your goals down? Do you have them written somewhere? Not only in your head, written down. There's something about the power of the pen, so don't minimize that. Whatever you want for your life can still happen. Do you believe it? You must believe and not let anyone get you off track. Stay focused. Stay grounded. Stay with it. Proverbs 9:23 says all things are possible to those who believe. Yes, God goes above all that we can ever imagine -- all things are probable and inevitable. Believe God has more for your life and watch what He does.
