Yesterday was supposed to be a simple business meeting. But something whispered before I left the house: "Crystal… put on your eyebrows. Add a little foundation." Not vanity. Preparation. Because when the Lord is elevating you, you don't always get a calendar invite for the next level. You don't always know who will be in the room. You don't always know whose hand you'll shake. You don't always know when your name will be called. We arrived thinking it was a meeting. Suddenly, my business partner says, "Oh, by the way… we're recording a podcast." Pause. "And Crystal, you're the guest." Shock. Silence. Processing. Within minutes, we were setting up to record on the Digital Faith Frequency podcast with @Bakari Kamal discussing African-American women in business. @Johnnessa White And in that moment, I understood why I needed those eyebrows. Lol! It wasn't about makeup. It was about being ready. >> Marketplace Lesson: When you are in a season of elevation, Stay ready. Don't ever think any invite is small! Because what carry is BIG!! The room can shift. The schedule can shift. The opportunity can shift. And you don't get to rehearse the calling when God calls your name. The Word says when you open your mouth, He will fill it. Psalm 81:10 So don't obsess over what you're going to say. Prepare your spirit. Prepare your mind. Prepare your presence. Because Kingdom moments don't always announce themselves. >> Activation Assignment Start rehearsing Scripture out loud. Take John 3:16 and: - Say it aloud. - Repeat it. - Call someone and declare it over them. - Record yourself praying it. - Speak it over your children. - Turn it into an encouragement vlog. Why? Because when the platform opens Fear will not control you. Preparation will. You will speak boldly because you practiced trusting God before the spotlight ever hit you. Trust me I'm living this out now!! This has been your School of Fish News
