Location




Sometimes in life we feel lost, wondering how we got to where we are and if we can ever get back on track. Sometimes we are so focused on where we're going that we can't be effective and productive where we are right now. Location is a beautiful thing. I consider it a tremendous blessing that, in the midst of all the craziness happening around me, I can always locate myself and get a clear picture of what moves I need to make to get to my destination. 

Get connected and stay connected to the One who is already at the finish line in the winner's circle, waiting for you to arrive. He'll be your GPS and lead you and guide you on a path that will get you where you need to go in the best time and best maneuvers.

Legacy

I am truly blessed to be a part of such a tremendous legacy. It's common, especially in the "black" community, to hear about many broken homes and sibling rivalries that leave cousins unfamiliar and turn family reunions into family feuds.

I, however, am very fortunate. I have grown up watching brothers and sisters who stick together no matter what. My grandparents instilled in them strong and vital values of keeping God first and family second. My aunts and uncles' marriages have stood the test of time. They have truly honored the vows made within holy matrimony. They have loved their children and taken care of them, trained them in the right ways to live, the best ways to live.

While there are many families who waste time fighting and growing bitter and resentful, my family spends ample amounts of time loving and laughing. I'm blessed to carry on the tradition.
