    Dream Again

    I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about the impact of Dr. King and what he’s done for us as a country and even the world. His dream for us to be treated equally pushed us all and reminded us that what we do does matter. I began to think to myself, how am I making an impact. While everyone can’t be a Dr. King, Rosa Parks, or Oprah, we can all do something. We have to recognize that while some are made to do grand things, it is the small things we do that matters most.

    Step Up Your Faith!

    Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Dubai in the UAE. If I had to describe my experience in one word it would probably be, breathtaking . With each moment, each experience I was blown away that I was even able to experience it. I desired to travel internationally this year, however I wasn’t sure how it would happen, but God literally stepped in and made it happen. It came out of nowhere, very unexpected. In that moment, I realized God was helping me to understand that he has greater for me, he only requires for me to have faith and believe. But even when I didn’t believe…
