I was BORN to do this!

I know people everywhere struggle with realizing their purpose in life. I guess I’m blessed to have always known what I was purposed to do.

I don’t call myself a journalist, I call myself an inspirational journalist. I do this because every piece that I write has a message of hope and empowerment. My mission is to give to others the very things I seek most; love, acceptance, encouragement, honor.

I am blessed to be able to connect with others who see the promise in me. I am blessed to be able to deliver an outstanding product through God who works through me.

Through the development of my website I will admit, I was a little nervous because I’m not a powerhouse like BAW. I don’t have a respected person like The Radio Man to vouch for me. As I reach out to successful people for interviews and partnerships I have to convince them to believe in me when they have no real proof of what I can do or who I am.

It’s a little unnerving if I think of things in the natural realm but as I realize that God is backing me, even through my imperfections, I am secure in knowing that I will get to the place where I know I deserve to be.

I’m filled with love and honor for God right now because I just got off the phone with Rob & Keisha, the now infamous couple from the slide show. I contacted them for an interview hoping to sell the story to a publication and make money to feed myself. So far, none of the publications have gotten back to me and my sister suggested that I use the story on my own website. I frowned thinking, “They don’t know me. They won’t believe in my dream. Why should they?”

But God does.

When she called me I was elated, but even more so after she began questioning me about my background and my intentions for the story. To date the slide show has been viewed over 60 million times by people in over 38 countries. Yes, this story is HOT!

Her personality is similar to mine in that we both are very direct with what we require and we both know what we deserve. She explained to me that so many journalists from around the country have reached out to her to get their story and she has not spoken to anyone else. She told me that she is a very private person and that she didn’t want her story to be manipulated by the media, she wanted someone she could trust. She said that she trusts that God will protect her interests and lead her in the right direction.

Of all the journalists that contacted them, she chose me to tell her story.

We spoke for almost two hours as she recounted the details surrounding their courtship, their dating period and then the marriage proposal.

As I listened to the friendly banter between the couple, I was able to ask them key questions that brought peace to my spirit and confirmed that I too, will one day receive all of the blessings that God has for me, if I continue to seek Him and His righteousness.

By the end of the conversation, I mentioned that I would probably have follow up questions and she told me that she would like for me to call her anytime, even if it’s is not about the story.
I’m so happy for the connection in spirit.

I’m so glad that I was able to reach out to the photographer who shot the pictures and somehow we connected too. I have a feeling that the heart with which I approached him, led him to speak to the couple on my behalf and they trusted his judgement.

Even when you feel like a little ant in a big world, if you serve God in truth and trust Him, He will bring about the most fantastic reality for your life. I may not be experiencing it right now, but I know that it is coming. It’s already done. My life is blessed and I am blessed to be His honored servant.

Life’s blessings may not come the way that you envision them, but if you serve and honor God, they will come with even more glory and favor than you have ever known. Their story has taught me so much about myself and I can’t wait to honor them for blessing me and trusting me to represent them in truth.

This ability to connect with strangers and gain their trust is God’s gift to me. I love writing and editing and empowering people just as much as I love myself. This gift is a part of me and I am so thankful that I am walking in my divine destiny.

I was BORN to be an inspirational journalist and I am BAD when I do it!
