God deliver me from thoughts of past resentment, guilt, shame, pain or hurt. Allow me to focus on your plans for me, molding me, and appreciating your love and compassion in the present moment. I know I’ll be tempted to be dishonest and angry. I must let down my ego & pride, & instead praise & worship your glory. I asked you for strength to be courageous with heart and compassion. I ask you to send me angels and remove demons from my life. I asked that my eyes not be saturated or my perception warped by images and sounds that take me out of love.  For awhile I held judgements & resentment towards certain people. No more. I have forgiven all who injured, stole from me, & ridiculed me. And I asked you for pardon for those whom I injured. I am obedient to you the Holy Spirit and my Lord Jesus Christ who forgives our sins. No other religions, prophets, good works or bribes to God will free me of the lies & temptations of demons. Dear God please fo...

Excelling in life is difficult. Just living life can be difficult at times. You really have to own it. Along my journey I've learned many things to help with daily life. Listen up. Keep an open mind. Consider all possibilities. Look deep inside yourself. Pray to God every day. Make everything you say simple enough for a 5 year old to understand. Will what you say or write inspire someone to take action? Will it move someone? Balance mind, body, relationships, and your environment. Stand up straight even if you are looking at your phone. Be aware of what is in front of you. Be an active listener.  You've got to allow yourself the uncomfortable luxury of changing your mind. Do nothing out of guilt, or for prestige, status, money, or approval alone. Be generous with your words, time, and resources and give credit to others.  When people try to tell you who are you, don't believe them. Build pockets of stillness in your life. Meditate, go on walks, ride your bike ...

Do you ever feel like you are struggling? Struggling to fit in, find love, money, help, or material items? Struggling with depression or anger? We all struggle. #1 reason seeing the doctor is anxiety - STRESS! The solution is simple. Identify the problem within yourself. Take the time to look inside yourself and learn what makes you happy within first. Deeply learn who you really are and why?   Next look at how your environment is... If your environment is sick..  you have the wrong friends… too many drugs .. too much liquor… it’s not conducive to your well being and growth. You won’t evolve. Instead of trying to fit in…Ask yourself why? What is causing this? Look at how you got to that struggle. Society conditions you to adapt to an environment that doesn’t promote your spiritual growth or evolution as a human, but we try to adjust to society or people who are not aligned with us. Why would you conform to that if you’re fine? Stop trying to control your outcomes. ...

When I reflect back on my journey, I have to give the glory to God. I’ve derived my strength, talent, and determination to succeed through faith and love. God has instilled in me the power to renew my focus each day. It is my life goal to use the talents and gifts bestowed upon me by God to bring glory, love, and light into the lives of those around me. My objective is use storytelling, writing, music, and film as the platform to shed hope into lives worldwide. In today’s world faith can mean a lot of different things to each individual. The Bible says “now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I hope to bring faith into the lives of those who have none, or have lost it along their journey through life. I’m living proof that through faith in God all things are possible. I challenge every individual to lead your life with faith that God will see you through the good and bad times of your life. Faith that God will give you the strength to overcome all...
