The Woman I Was A Year Ago Couldn’t Have Handled This Week…
Here’s how I knew I was walking in alignment…
When you pray for direction, the next step is to TAKE ACTION (even IF you are waiting on confirmation).
“Faith without works is dead” - James 2:26
No… I’m not saying be reckless with your action because you doubt His provision (like Sarah).
I’m saying MOVE as if you are a Daughter of the King (you are) and your Father has it all figured out (He does).
I prayed for re-alignment and here’s what happened this past week:
1) I flew with a girl who has over 200k social media followers. Confident. Brave. She had built a personal brand and was monetizing from platform payouts, but had no idea how to leverage her social media following for income. We strategized. She was amazed. Talking to her made me realize, “SHE GETS IT.”
She’s not the beginner, she’s the MOVER.
Our conversation refreshed my soul because she met me at my level - she confirmed my new Identity. But then she asked….
“What’s the biggest problem you have with your audience?”
And it hit me like a ton of bricks. Because I already knew.
Confirmation.
2) My coach called me on the carpet.
“Girl you’ve not the struggling mom anymore. And even then, have you forgotten what all you’ve accomplished? That’s why this bothers you so much. Those who are in it can’t see it’s unethical. Stop trying to prove your worth to people who don’t get it and start speaking to the woman you were 6 months ago, not a year ago.”
Oh my.
Me: “But I feel responsible for helping these people who are stuck inside this hamster wheel…”
“They WANT to be on the hamster wheel. Until they WANT something different, you’re putting yourself on the wheel with them. Your loyalty is exhausting you because you’re running faster than they are. You’re investing more than they are. You’re becoming more than they are.”
Wow.
My loyalty was to an audience that wasn’t even running the race set before them…
...not the audience who needed me to show up with conviction when that's what I preach.
Confirmation.
3) I decided to draw a very clear line in the sand. Again, using what I teach inside Faith-Filled Foundation, I became a magnet and posted a controversial video: knowing my message would ultimately draw certain people to me, while repelling others. And boy did it…
The messages I received were, interesting, to say the least.
Several remarked that I should “remember where I came from.” Many of whom, have never made a sale. Have never completed what they've already invested in. Have bought multiple products and are willingly on the hamster wheel.
You can remember where you come from and be grateful for what you’ve learned…
But Jesus doesn’t want you to stay in your past, especially when He is doing a NEW THING (Isaiah 43:19)
And it’s not ironic… the most loving, well-intentioned people who support and love you, will be quick to judge your growth the minute it causes them to question their own.
They want you to look back, but He wants you to keep your eyes on HIM.
Confirmation.
4) I received a message that someone I trusted (a former client) had been trying to ruin my reputation behind my back.
Saying I was “using my faith” to make money.… someone who again, has never completed what they invested in. Has bought multiple products. Is still on the hamster wheel.
I couldn’t even be upset. I prayed for her. I prayed for her to know her worth and for Him to work in her heart, to heal her relationship with money so she could provide for her family.
Deuteronomy 8:18 - The Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth.
Yes, UNAPOLOGETICALLY I’m going to put him before making money, BECAUSE THE MONEY IS HIS ANYWAYS.
Isn’t it interesting that those who chase money as their primary motivation are quick to chastise FAITH as a primary motivation, because deep down they know they’re chasing the wrong idol?
Confirmation.
5) Five Women jumped into the Ambassador Program and one boldly jumped into Faith-Filled Foundation the same day I shifted my messaging. When I started planting on fertile soil…
“See I am doing a new thing. IT SPRINGS FORTH, do you not perceive it?”
Action + Alignment + His Foundation = the outcome you’ve been praying for
.…but that doesn’t mean you won’t have a planting, sowing, reaping, and harvesting season on His time. It’s just WAY more fulfilling when you do it in alignment with His will.
Confirmation.
Why do I tell you all of this?
Not to gossip, not to brag, not to ridicule.
But to tell you to COUNT THE COST OF YOUR CHRISTIAN BUSINESS.
Because anyone telling you building a business is “easy” is lying to you. Entrepreneurship, and more importantly, faith-filled entrepreneurship requires THICK SKIN.
“For in the same way they persecuted me” (John 15:20).
Remember, it was JESUS’S OWN PEOPLE who crucified Him.
You SHOULD count the cost of doing business as a faith-filled CEO. Because putting “Christian” on anything means a higher-level, a new-standard of stewardship to the Most High who gives you the power to gain wealth. Linking arms with like-minded women of STRENGTH means shining a light on darkness, calling others to a NEW standard, with humility and Honor that matches the significance and the value of your calling (Ephesians 4:1)
The woman I was a year ago couldn’t have handled this week…
But the woman I am now is walking BOLDLY in her calling and saving souls through my business and my ministry for HIS greater glory.
How about you? 💖
