"The Enemy is Defeated"

“You intended to harm me,

but God intended it all for good...”
—Genesis 50:20

I woke this morning
with gratitude resting gently on my chest—
not because everything aligned,
not because I checked every box,
but because I chose to trust
the God who provides beyond what I see.

What felt like drowning
in relentless spiritual warfare
was, in truth, a holy cleansing—
a breaking, a refining,
a quiet preparation for something greater.

And I can feel it now—
a shifting in the unseen,
a breakthrough pressing against the horizon.

Despite every blow,
I’m still standing—
anchored in promises
that have never known failure.

God is moving—
not subtly, not faintly,
but with a power
that cannot be mistaken.

What was sent to destroy me
misjudged its target,
miscalculated its reach,
and completely misunderstood
God’s assignment over my life.

I don’t know the private giants you face,
the silent battles you fight when no one sees

—but I know this:

God does not abandon His people.

He does not withdraw His hand,
revoke His invitation,
or rewrite His promises.

He is constant.
Unshaken.
Faithful beyond feeling.

So guard your faith—
don’t let doubt find a foothold,
don’t let insecurity crack the door,
don’t let fear whisper louder than truth.

Stand firm.

Fight the good fight of faith—
not as one hoping for victory,
but as one standing
in a victory already won.

So rise—
with heaven behind you,
truth within you,
and purpose before you.

Because what tried to bury you
has only proven this:

you were never meant to be defeated—
you were meant to overcome.

The Glass Ceiling of Fear

"You can't "prop up" a person that refuses to stand ."-me Recently, I asked one of my " homeboys " to read a few of my blog posts and help " plug the gap " where my feet often stumbled. He didn't read one, but he read all of them! After a gut-wrenching, " throat punch of truth ," he unleashed the dragon. I was knee-deep in the swamp of hot ashes. Needless to say, I had allowed fear to become my glass ceiling ! Each time, I took off running for the hills , I looked back to the valley for "familiar hands." The " child within " had learned to go without the things needed most; so as an adult, I counseled my fears. I nursed my vulnerabilities. I coached my failures. However, my hands kept reaching for the " mentor within " that the younger version of me survived without. Let's face it! Kids learn what they live, even inherited dysfunction. Grown-up habits can resurf...

Get Out The Way

It takes an incredible “act of faith” to step out on the unknown, but that’s exactly what God did—pushed me right out of the nest. I extended my stay, way beyond the appointed time. My wings were ready, but I secretly clipped them, so I could remain still. I’d been comfortably nested for years, while focused on the “lack of my own hands,” but failed to trust the real provider. I was so keyed in on my inabilities that I refused to take the first step. It was just too scary! What if I failed? Never once realized, that I was equipped to succeed! I’ve always known my life purpose was tied to the ministry of “ service ,” but I failed to develop that hidden potential. I was afraid of rejection . I was afraid to be seen or even heard. I didn’t like attention because it came with an army or critics, including the biggest one within . How would I ever help anyone, if I refused to help myself? I ran into a former high school classmate at the gym. We briefly talked ab...
