Theme: Go Higher

Theme: "Everything is possible, the impossible just takes longer"~ Dan Brown


Why did all of these emails start? because of two reasons. One, I remember one day asking God, “How can I share you with others? Time went by……I remember that day just like it was yesterday, I was sitting at my computer and I asked again in my heart, how can I share you with others? I heard an audible response, “Write.” Two, because I sent an email to 10 people and asked if anyone would like inspirational emails sent to them and one person responded, "yes." 

Lesson #1: Going Higher & "Everything is possible, the impossible just takes longer"~ Dan Brown

God gives you a gift and others need you to use that gift to bless them. It's now 10 years later and it all started because I asked God what he wanted me to do. He answered me and it was up to me to follow His lead.  My life has been so blessed because of these emails, because I was able to use something that I really enjoy to help others.

January 2015: Task #1

Please help me to celebrate 10 years of writing, by choosing 10 people that you will put on your prayer list and pray for them throughout this month. Why do I ask this, because I know I have only been able to achieve what I have in my life, because of God and those who prayed for me. 

be inspired and be inspiring,
