You have a vision. What now?
|
Submit the vision! – No, not to me. 🙂 Some years ago, when I felt the urge to pick up a notebook and write down my vision, I had no idea what I was doing, specifically what difference it would make. However, I took that simple step, and I began to list out the things I desired for myself, being as specific as I knew how to. I continued writing them down one at a time, and, to my surprise, by the time I was done writing what my mind could picture, I got the leading to write the book, NYTA – Not Your Typical Anything. Writing a book never crossed my mind prior to this day, and it is now a reality today. Have you ever wondered about how many gems God has placed inside you that are still waiting to be unleashed? How was your experience writing down your vision last week? Reply to this email, share whatever you are comfortable sharing with me. I would love to hear it. Now, here is an important next step. Keeping in mind that we have limits, but the author of our unique extraordinary life (our NYTA Not Your Typical Anything Life) is limitless, and knowing that total surrender to Him and to all that He has built us for is critical, we “Submit” and “Surrender” our vision, plans, and desires to Him. Submitting our vision to God is acknowledging that while we have these desires for ourselves, we know that our creator, God, knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows every ability and capability within us, and He alone knows how to bring out the fullness of that life. Although we have our own desires, vision, and plans, we are willing to let Him interrupt them or stretch them out so that we may align with His limitless plans for us. We know that His plans, will, thoughts, and desires for us are GOOD! That is a benefit of KNOWING who He is and who we are in and through Him, as revealed in His word, the Holy Bible. How do you submit your written vision to Him? Just speak to Him like you are speaking to a friend. Here is an example, but you can say it in your own words to Him: “Jesus, thank You for the ability to dream. I know I have written down all these plans, desires, and vision. I present them to You, and I ask You to lead me. But most importantly, I want Your will for me above mine, because you know what is best for me and Your plans for me are good.” P.S. I send out this newsletter once weekly to help you step into the extraordinary life in Christ. I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who may be encouraged by NYTA’s message. For those ready to step deeper into trust, surrender, and dependence on God... With love and gratitude, |

What you see matters – scar or beauty, blemishes or uniqueness. It is all about perspective. Many of us carry scars that we are ashamed of. They may be physical scars, emotional scars, mental scars, or other unpleasant experiences that linger. For some, it is a past they would rather not talk about. For some, a physical scar that you have been covering or hiding from the world. For others, it could be an emotional burden you have carried for so long. In my book NYTA, I shared my personal...
Relying on one’s own ability and creativity is a recipe for living below your potential. Know the fuel that powers your extraordinary existence! A few years ago, when I got the inspiration to begin my fashion line, High + Title, formerly called OYÈ Collection, I questioned how in the world it would be a reality, considering my lack of experience in this area. I knew that to be a fashion designer, I needed a way to translate the designs I had in my head into drawings on paper before I could...
We live in a culture where we consume more than we create. Yet, each one of us has been created with unique qualities, attributes and creative gifts that -- if unleashed -- would bring flavor and joy to the world. When I obtained my Doctoral degree as a healthcare professional, though it was a great accomplishment that anyone should be proud of, I couldn’t help but recognize the dissatisfaction I still felt. I thought to myself: this couldn’t possibly be all there is to me. In my state of...
