Giving God Thanks

For The Abundant Things in my Life!

I give God thanksI Am Beyond Grateful To God for My Bath and Body Shea Butter Skincare Products

For the abundant things in my life, I give God thanks!

Elated to be my own boss, my creativity is one of the countless blessings from God I highly cherish.

Every day I get to use my gifts and skill set to bless others and to give God glory.

I give God thanks for allowing me to use my knowledge and the growth of my wisdom in an empowering way.  And when He clothes me with understanding I explode my businesses, soaring to a place of success I love. You see, when this happens my blessings means blessings for others and I love that I get to spread my blessings out into the world.

When I started Beauty and the Face my focus was to formulate a body butter that would glow the skin of all who used it. My first year in business I made about $2,000 for the entire year. Unacceptable, I vowed to do something different. I am always thinking about how I can do things differently in an over saturated market.

I give God thanks

When I started BATF, Love for the Skin bath and body products, my only thoughts were making customers a little more than happy. When 2019 ushered in, I took on a completely new mindset called focus. I told myself that I was going to focus on this one business like never before and I am doing that.

I wrote out a new plan, new quotes, I ordered new jars, I am adding a few new products that I cannot wait to reveal and new incredible jars! Can you read the excitement in my voice.

 

Bath and body

With my superior shea butter recipe, my body butter is a mix of organic butters and luxury essential oils. Blended together, I offer my customers a powerful shea body butter that is ultra rich and highly moisturizing. My skincare products are premium body butters that glow the skin which is the goal I reach for.

I am now in the process of designing my themed gift boxes for Mother’s Day. I have created my flyers and now I am just waiting to promote my sale for Moms’ special day.

I have written an attention grabbing message with attention grabbing marketing materials to attract even more customers. I am overjoyed to share my skincare products with the world.

 

Bath and Body

I say all of this to say that I could never be able to do this without God guiding and instructing me. I am giving God thanks for all of the abundant things in my life including this blog.

Giving God thanks for all of the abundant things in my life gives me more abundant things in my life. God has given me extreme favor and in His favor, He blesses me with a creative mind that has taken me on an awe-inspiring journey! I am loving every second of everything I am able and blessed to do.

I believe in my heart that I am able and capable of doing the impossible because with God’s Holy Spirit  all things are possible.

I give God thanks

And so it is that I take leaps and bounds by faith to do what I love to do every single day of my life. I have a passion for writing and designing. I also have a deep-seeded passion for helping others who see themselves as successful, but are not sure how to be the success that they envision through their dreams. Just follow me and do what I do. I like to think that I am an open door that can possibly help to lead you to your pathway of success.

I give God thanks for all of the abundant things in my life. I thank God for helping me to hopefully be a blessing to you.

To God be all the glory!

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear and Why I Made The Smart Choice To Be Courageous and Bold!

 

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

Why I made the choice to be courageous and bold and use my gifts to start my own amazing life changing empire? I want to help change other women’s lives like I was able to change my own life.

As a child growing up in west Philadelphia I had the most phenomenal childhood with some fabulous people. These people would be become my family. 

When I graduated from high school I found myself lost in a forest filled with tall trees and could not see nor find my way out. I lived this way longer than I want to even think about. Eventually, I found my way out of the maze that had me all bound up. 

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

When I found my path my steps were stilled and I continued living in bondage gripped by fear. I didn’t realize it at the time. The only one thing I knew to be a fact; I had no faith in God, no confidence in myself and I was fearful of everything.

I was scared to try anything. Afraid to speak up for myself, which meant, and this is beyond crazy, that if someone said things to me out of their ignorance because they saw or thought they saw weakness in me I would respond with what I thought they wanted to hear and not that which was true or how I really felt. This is how I lived for most of my adult life.

I also had a major problem saying no to people whenever they asked me for things. I would say yes when my heart was saying no. I’ve lived my life according to other people’s feelings. I found myself caring for others much more than I cared for myself. 

Why I Decided To Open My Eyes and Never Close Them Again

They reason I decided to open my eyes and never close them again is because I chose to trust God.

After becoming caregivers to both my parents, after being horrifically disrespected by my siblings and after my mother transitioned from my home in 2017, (my father had gone home in 2001), my eyes were opened and I decided to be true to myself for the rest of my. I decided to step out of fear.

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

I made up my mind to, one: encourage myself every day and two: run my businesses for amazing success. Well, my focus was on helping other women and if I help other women I’ll be helping myself in a profound way. 

Being Encouraged Helped Change My Life

Here’s a brief story about being encouraged.

Growing up, I had no one to encourage me and because no one ever encouraged me in my life and because I had to learn certain things on my own, I can honestly say my life has been forever transformed.

Now it took time for things in my life to get better. And while  I’m still planting and growing seeds I am enjoying and embracing my journey.

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

There’s so much I have gleaned and I am sincerely grateful. One thing I can honestly say is that I have always tried to live a righteous life. Honesty is important to me. I am grateful and my intentions to help other women are real and pure.

I know what it’s like to be scared and unable to use what God has given us because fear steps in for whatever reason.

Trusting and having faith in God makes all the difference in the world. This is how I have been able to do what I do every day, but believe me when I tell you, it took time to deepen my faith because I didn’t know nor understand what faith meant. Once I learned the definition of faith I have been better and I no longer live in bondage.

I finally realized that fear did not belong in my life. Being fearful is a waste of time. That is when I decided to step out in faith, be courageous and bold and use all of the awesome gifts in addition to the reservoir of information God has bestowed upon me.  My life has never been the same. I cannot say this enough.

I dropped fear off at the wayside and I kept moving trying hard not to look back. Did I pick up fear again. Sure. Of course I did. A few times. Fear had been a part of my life for so long that I just couldn’t seem to forget or let fear go completely. 

And then one day I told myself it’s time to focus really hard on all the things I wanted to accomplish and let fear and all it’s components go once and for all. I did it. I have an ebook all about how I let fear go to alter my life just in case you’re interested.

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

Since then I’ve been doing all kinds of life loving , life changing things for me myself and why. Why. Because I know I can. I know all things are possible with God. 

That’s when I decided to pickup my writing once again. I have written a host of books for women all around the globe because my goal is to simply inspire, uplift and encourage women who may need to be encouraged. 

One of my sincerest prayers is to beautifully transform the minds and lives of women so that they, too, can lives prosperous and opulent lifestyles. I thought to myself now is the time to share all that I had written. I know/knew it was and will bless women from all paths of life.

So I wrote Treasures Inside You, B.U.I.L.D and Cynthia G. Boyer.  You see for me being an entrepreneur isn’t about how much money I can make. For me it’s all about how many women and girls I can help, touch, warm and transform. I started so many blogs in my effort to achieve my goals. I was all over the map with my endeavors until God’s Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. He told me to organize my business decently and in order.  I did. Order is significant trust me when I tell you. 

I took my time and with patience I’ve been able to build my websites and blogs placing them under the umbrellas to where they all belong. 

Why I Decided To Step Out of Fear

I am overjoyed that I recognize all of my faults and shortcomings. I saw the need for change in myself. Believe it or not I was impacting my own life in such a negative major way.  I’ve learned some great things in my life after I made the choice to step out of fear.

On this awe-inspiring journey I have learned that I am phenomenal. Yes, I am. More importantly I have learned a lot about myself. I discovered, after a long exploration, that I am as powerful as can be. I not only have the power to get wealth, but I am wealth. I give away and share my wealth every chance I get. 

I have learned that I am a creative being capable and able of doing all that is possible, of course with God’s hands and help.

I am in a completely different space in my life and there is light illuminating my every step which leads and guides me into the abundance and prosperity that have always been an enormous part of my life. These are all the reasons why I decided to step out of fear and into the life that I have been created to live.

I’m so thankful that I can see it all crystal clear and I live it every single day of my life. I give God all the glory.

Loving His plan and purpose for my life.

The Importance of Writing Down Your Goals

Because Writing Down Your Goals and Dreams Work

The importance of writing down your goals and your dreams is well, very important.

Good Evening Women of Excellence,

Goals and dreams, gifts and talents, skill sets and awesome abilities; we all have been equipped with some form of wealth.

I have had a really busy week managing my businesses. To be honest, I’ve been going full force since January and I have to say I am loving it because I get to share my wealth and rich reservoir of abundance with you and other Christian women entrepreneurs.

I must say that I have not been writing down all of my goals before going to bed every night. I’ve been working until 11:30 p.m. most nights which is why I have not been faithful as I once was in this important area of my life and business.

Writing Down Your Goals Make You Accountable

Why is it important for you to write down your goals? Writing down your goals make you accountable.

If your plan is to ensure that you get everything done to keep your business flourishing as you implement more and more of your brilliant ideas into your business, you will not want to miss or skip a beat.

There have been times when I’ve come up with something that I thought was absolutely brilliant only to move on to the next thought without ever having written all of that brilliance down, but I thank God for His Holy Spirit who resides me because He reminds me of some of the things that I may forget because I’m always working on something.

I realized today that I need to start writing down the things that I need to accomplish the next day to help keep me on track where my business goals are concerned. It really does make an enormous difference in keeping me focused in business.

What I Kept Telling Myself; Write Down Your Goals and Why You Should Too

For instance, today I had all of my goals nesting in my mind and I kept telling myself to write them down. I even had some of them in my kindle, but there is something about writing them down on 3×5 cards or in my note book that makes things flow easily and effortlessly for me. I was busy all week working on my new website and I kept telling myself, it is important for me to list my tasks and then work towards getting them accomplished after I had completed the website.

After adding all of my articles, posts, plugins and everything in between, yes, I use WordPress, I finally launched my website. 

I love designing and creating my own websites because for me, it is highly therapeutic. I love to see what I can do with whatever them I decide to use.  WordPress is a challenge, but now that I have mastered it I enjoy using this amazing platform for website building. There is so much that you can do with WordPress.

Let me tell you the possibilities are endless. If you’re anything like me and you love challenging yourself, then I suggest you give WordPress a try. It may be a piece of cake for you. For me, it was pretty difficult to figure out or so I thought it was until I was able to understand how it all comes together and how it all just makes sense!

I also love graphic design. Self-taught, I get to use my creativity in a powerful way which is to thank God, praise Him while giving Him all the glory for my gifts and talents.

Get Your 3×5 Cards Out Now!

Your 3×5 cards are all about you. They have the story of your business written on them. Keep them visible and then keep them stored in a safe place. They will be your compass. Attach them to your business plan so that you can refer to them whenever you need to.

My Hope for You

It is my hope that you, too, are writing down your business goals and any other goals that you want to accomplish in your life as well as in your business.

Having a daily-to-do list in your life will help to make you accountable for your actions. Think of it as one of your best girlfriends who calls you to see if you’ve done this or if you’ve done that and if not, then when are you going to get to it, she asks. So go on and get those 3×5 cards out now and I mean right now. You’ll thank yourself the second you do.

For me, penning my goals is a must. Today, I began writing down my goals and tomorrow I will begin executing the plan that is attached to each goal with each one being relative to all my other tasks.

I am looking forward to working towards achieving all the tasks on my to do list. I am not going to rush through them, but I am going to enjoy attaining each one in an effort to bring value to others and that is one goal that will remain on my daily-to-do list as long as I am a Christian woman entrepreneur!

Giving God the Glory!

Ask God for Favor

And Enjoy Greater Prosperity

Could you use more favor in your life?

In case you hesitated when you answered that question, let me assure you: the correct answer is YES. 🙂 Carrying a mantle of favor is essential for all of us if we want God’s best for our lives.

What is favor?

According to Dictionary.com, “favor” is “something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act … friendly or well-disposed regard; goodwill … the state of being approved or held in regard â€¦ excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment…” (emphasis mine).

When you have favor, people do things for you out of goodwill–not just as a reward for what you do. Favor brings you into approval rather than rejection or being forgotten. When God pours out His favor on you, it’s like He’s kissing you, His child–and His kiss remains on you for all to see.

Favor is the visible, evident kiss of God on your life, and it brings marvelous results.

Favor is something God drapes over you like a mantle, and it will change your life. When I started praying for favor, freaky things happened:

  • Opportunities started coming my way that had gone to other people in the past.
  • I started getting little bonuses at work that I rarely received before–bonuses that were completely separate from our normal pay structure.
  • People that I would ordinarily ask for advice started asking ME for advice.
  • This blog started growing more and more.
  • I began to have articles published in unexpected places.
  • New relationships began coming to me that I didn’t anticipate and didn’t try to make happen.
And I’m not the only one. Look at what happened when God gave favor to one Jewish girl named Esther:

Start-quoteThe king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti” (Esther 2:17).

Esther was an ordinary Jewish girl. She was stolen from her family and forced into the pagan king’s harem, forced to “try out” to be queen.

Think about that. It couldn’t have been anybody’s idea of a good time–especially not for a Jewish girl, who prized her religious upbringing and her purity. Yet the Lord gave her favor, and in one day she went from being a harem tryout to becoming queen of the Persian Empire.

And God will give you favor like that too. You definitely won’t be getting married to King Artaxerxes, but you can rule and reign in your own life. 🙂

So what will favor look like in YOUR life?

Favor is a game-changer:

  • Favor can elevate you from being invisible (and feeling forgotten) to being in command, overnight.
  • Favor brings you relationships with key people you would never otherwise know.
  • Favor brings you opportunities that are far over your head to get for yourself.
  • Favor brings you material blessings you don’t deserve. God simply heaps them on your head, because you have favor.
  • Favor will protect you when and if you mess up.

Having favor on your life means you walk around with all the tangible, demonstrable blessings that go with being a son or daughter of the Most High God. Things just WORK out for you. You’re blessed and keep getting more blessed. There’s a holy flow in your life, all because you have the favor of God.

And you can have favor with God and with people if you simply ask God for favor.

Check out what it says in Psalm 5:11-12:

Start-quoteBut let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”

If you have made Jesus Christ the Boss of your life, that means you’re righteous. You’re in right standing with God.

And if you’re in right standing with God through Jesus, God will surround you with favor as with a shield. Why? Because Jesus had favor, and we’re supposed to become just like Him. That means we need favor, favor, and more favor too.

Luke 2:52 tells us this:

Start-quoteAnd Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”

 

So are you ready to become more like Jesus and increase in life-changing favor? If so, pray this prayer with me:

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, I want to thank You for who You are and for everything You’ve done in my life. You have been so gracious and merciful to me. I didn’t deserve any of it, but You have saved me, healed me, provided for me, comforted me, encouraged me, called me, and adopted me as Your child.

So now, Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask You for favor… EXTREME favor. Father, I ask You specifically for favor with        (insert names here)    . I ask You for favor in    (insert situations here)    and in every other circumstance I don’t even know about yet.

Father, I am not asking for favor because I deserve it. I know I don’t deserve it in my own natural flesh, but “my natural flesh” is not who I am anymore. You have made me Your child through Jesus Christ. So Father, I’m asking for favor because I belong to You. 

Daddy God, Your Word says that You will bless the righteous and surround them with favor as with a shield. You said that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Therefore, Father, I am standing on Your promise that You will also surround me with favor. I thank You, Father, that I have received, and You have given me the favor I’ve asked for.

And finally, Father, in the Name of Jesus, please teach me how to carry Your favor well. Help me always to walk worthy of the divine calling to which I have been called. Let my behavior be a credit to Your call on my life. And I ask that the favor You have given me would increase daily. Make me more like Jesus, who increased in wisdom, in strength, and in favor with God and man.

Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
