✅ My son, Reginald Mitchell, shared something on Facebook today that made me stop and think. Some people aren't just afraid of FAILURE. They're afraid of SUCCESS! Now THAT will preach! 🙌🏾 How many times have we prayed for an opportunity, asked God for direction, or dreamed about doing something meaningful, only to hesitate when the opportunity finally appeared? 🤩 Sometimes we're afraid we'll fail. But sometimes we're afraid we'll actually SUCCEED! Because success may require us to change, become visible, accept new responsibilities, or step outside what feels comfortable. And for those of us building our next chapter at 40, 50, 60, 70, and BEYOND, that fear can be very real. But here's what I believe: God did not bring us this far for us to allow FEAR to make our decisions! 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 👉 You don't have to know everything. You don't have to have everything figured out. And you certainly don't have to be fearless before you take your next faithful step. ✅ Remember, YOUR EXPERIENCE STILL MATTERS™! What you've lived through, learned, survived, and overcome may be exactly what someone else needs. So here's my question for our Freedom By Faith™ family: What's ONE thing you would pursue if you stopped worrying about failing OR succeeding? A business? A book? A ministry? A new opportunity? Or something you've been putting off for years? 👇🏾 Share your ONE THING in the comments. Let's encourage one another to move forward in FAITH! STILL STANDING! STILL BUILDING! @Cynthia M. YES Founder, Freedom By Faith™ ❤️ Inspired by a Facebook post from my son, Reginald Mitchell.

🤩 I've been doing some building behind the scenes here at Freedom By Faith™. But something important became clearer to me along the way. ✅ We don't have to start over to build what's next. We can build from what we already carry! 🔥 Our years of experience, lessons learned, victories, disappointments, gifts, and even the things we thought would stop us all have something to teach us. And here's what I know: 👉 Your Experience Still Matters™ Whether your next chapter involves starting a business, writing a book, stepping into ministry, serving others, or finally pursuing something you've put on hold, your purpose hasn't expired. 👉 Freedom By Faith™ is a place for purpose-driven PEOPLE who believe there is still something meaningful to BUILD. And yes, that includes YOU! I'm still standing. I'm still learning. And I'm still building. Now I'd love to hear from you: 👇🏽 If you could BUILD one meaningful thing in your next chapter, what would it be? Let's talk. We're building with purpose, one faithful step at a time.👇👇 ❤️ @Cynthia M. YES Impact. Income.

✅ This is a Powerful reminder! 💙 sometimes you step back so others will step UP! 🙏 Sometimes stepping back isn’t giving up—it’s exercising wisdom and discernment. We can’t help others if we’re allowing ourselves to be consumed in the process. 🙏 God gives us the wisdom to know when to stand, when to speak, and when to step aside. Protecting your peace is not selfish; sometimes it’s necessary to preserve your purpose. Your Experience Still Matters™ — Freedom By Faith™ Replying to my son’s FB post. 10/24/26 -Reginald Mitchell

A friend said something that stopped me in my tracks: “If someone told me that whatever I give now, I will receive when I reach heaven, I would give anything.” Scripture says exactly that. “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20). So why do we hold so tightly to what we can’t take with us? Your treasure isn’t only money. It’s your time, your wisdom, your encouragement, the mother you coached at midnight, the story you finally shared. Every seed given in faith is hidden in God, and He never loses a deposit. 💬 Your turn: What is ONE thing you will give this week: time, wisdom, or a word of encouragement? Drop it below and let’s sow together.

Before David ever stood before Goliath, he stood faithfully with sheep. No crowd. No applause. No spotlight. But in the quiet place, God was building the character needed for the public calling. Don't rush your current season. God shapes character before He expands influence. 📖 "And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him." — 1 Samuel 18:14 KJV What is God teaching you in this private season?
