Workshop Presentation Cover

I still find myself amazed at the move of God. Just when I think I’ve figured out how and when He moves in my life, He surprises me with sudden moments and topsy-turvy experiences that could only be orchestrated by an all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent God who loves His creation. God has a pristine way of positioning His children to arrive at truths that break barriers and annihilate dangerous cycles.

This past weekend, I led a women’s workshop on reclaiming our narrative of success – We’re Gonna Be Alright. True to form, I toiled over the research and allowed myself to be vulnerable to the process—tapping in, recalling, and recording on a digital notepad what God was leading me to see. It was slow work that required both patience and discernment. I had to get out of my head. I had to starve distractions. I had to ignore the bait of the enemy. I had to walk with God and trust Him to make good on His promise—to never leave nor forsake me.

While it wasn’t easy to fight for focus, it finally came when I stood still in a quiet place, laid down all the weight I was carrying, and let God have His way. By the time I finished the written work, the graphic design work, the social media campaign work, the prayer work, the presentation work—I recognized the lesson God keeps teaching me: He’s enough.

God’s lesson of sufficiency is both soothing and settling. God’s Word is enough. His Way is enough. His counsel is enough. His call is enough. His mercy is enough. He’s enough because He is the Creator of the universe—including us. He knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb. He knew our journey before we could dream it or live it. And because He does, He sits us down in quiet spaces to show us that nothing compares to His might—and when He’s ready, God will amaze us once again.

I’m deeply grateful for the women who attended my online workshop from across the globe, for their openness during the session, and for their private sharing afterward. I’m grateful for those who choose to trust me—and the God in me. And yes, I’m even grateful for those who refuse me because of the God in me. God has ways of teaching that lesson, too. Through it all, God still amazes me.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

Without question, the weight of life can get heavy as we do our best to honor God and our callings. Yet, the work of sharing His way remains to be done. The truth is—there’s no time for giving up. God still has plans for us. He still desires to amaze us.

So let Him have His way.

Be well y’all, and much love!
