Tomorrow I will hit the stage for Black Girl Mixtape (Click Here) and it will officially be my fifth speaking engagement this year.
Insert lots of emotions right -> HERE<- Humility. Gratitude. Disbelief.
Why? Because I prayed for it. I asked God to speak more and preach at least once. By the first quarter of 2018, God had come through with invitations. Seriously. I started the year speaking at the 2017 NYE Brunch by The Woman’s Earth while still on a high from the 2017 Self Love Retreat. I loved that God poured into me and then allowed me to pour into other women. So… I asked for more of it. L I S T E N (see this “listen” as an Andonnia exclamation point)!
What does this have to do with you? LOTS.
I share because I want you to pray intentional prayers. BE SPECIFIC. Then expect an answer, direction, guidance, and BE PATIENT. Notice I didn’t say PRAY FOR PATIENCE… I learned a very valuable lesson the last time I did that. That’s a DIFFERENT blog.
Start NOW. Intentionally pray. Pray God’s Word and His Will. This is important. If I didn’t’ know the will of God for my life was pouring into women and children, I would never pray for that. If you don’t know what your purpose is… PRAY for THAT to be revealed. He is still answering prayers. I am a living witness.
If you are in the Houston area (or can get here quickly), would love to see you/meet you/hug you at Black Girl Mixtape tomorrow.
Prayed Up,
