The Imposter

Family,

This blog is inspired by a long generation of folks unable to be authentic due to family, life situations, culture, or ethnicity, known as the imposter.  By definition Imposter syndrome is  a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success. 'Imposters' suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their competence. There is a huge difference between suffering from imposter syndrome and actively being an imposter. 


There is a scripture in the Bible to help identify with what it means to be an imposter. In 

2 Timothy 3:13 (NIV) Paul is speaking to Timothy reminding him that: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” It’s no wonder true believers struggle with connecting to others in the same faith. They may have heard and learned the same word of God, but they spiritually act and look so different. The answer is short and simple, we all want the glory but don’t want to tell the story of who the glory belongs to. We didn’t save ourselves, let alone come to the knowledge of faith on our own. It was God all along.


It’s time to decide. Is it ok to suffer from chronic self-doubt and intellectual fraud? Are you going to continue feeling inadequate? Of course not, only imposters do those things. Today we accept the truth according to the Word of God through Paul in Romans 8:37 (KJV) “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” If you believe the word ask the Lord to help you receive this truth and be healed today to be unapologetically you!


Love your sister in Christ,

It's Not Over

Family,  Please forgive my pause in posting. Every year around April, I fall into this habit of wanting to post on social media and update my blog. I am truly a creature of habit and I hope you can relate. I want you to remember social media will not keep you committed to this faith walk but Jesus will. In the meantime, I’ve been working on so many things. Two major ones are ministry (serving) and fellowship (in communication with the people). I have been in the faith full time, around the clock, nonstop work - “Turn Down For What!”All the while, praying, fasting, and watching the power of God save souls, heal hearts, minds, and bodies. I have witnessed miracles performed like a cancer diagnosis turning to nothing. Family, some real things happen when Jesus is at the center of it all. When we have faith (believing in the unseen) you work differently and you go places that many will say, “I am not too sure about this.” This time has reminded me that our gifts do make room for us as ...

Love Until it hurts, Love until it works!

By
  Family,  There is a song by Foreigner called “I Want To Know What Love Is.” I remember asking the Lord the very same question. Then, Christ came into my heart and revealed that in order to know Love (in the form of God), I had to know Sacrifice (in the form of Christ). When I began to discover that it was an act of love that saved  my soul from a place of despair, it was unbelievable. It takes wisdom to know what love is and what love did and continues to do. 1 Corinthians 13 explains it all. But I want to focus on one verse in that book 1 Corinthians 13:8a Love never fails.  Do you ever wonder why Love gets a bad rap? I have heard so many references to love, like it’s blind, it’s mean, it’s rude, it doesn’t exist, or  it’s impossible. However, none of those statements tell the truth about what love is but rather expresses an emotion someone felt after someone said “I love you.” Until I read the Bible and gained insight that God is love (see 1 John 4:8 ), hear...
