Do you Believe in Miracles? "My Beautiful Moment".

2011 was a year filled with surprises, twists, turns, births, deaths, disappointment, sorrows, joy and pain. We all experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. But, thought it all we triumphed and crossed over to 2012.

God has given me and another opportunity to share my faith walk with others. There were many beautiful moments along the way, allow me to share once such moment.

Five years after my Mom Sara suffered a debilitating stroke, two brain surgeries, she was left with loss of mobility on her left side and multiples bottles of medicines to take each day. During the late summer of 2011 my Mom, sister and I decided to attend a three day “Financial Wisdom Conference” at our church Crenshaw Christian in Los Angeles.

Dr. Nasir Siddiki was the invited guest for the evening; His wife Anita shared their incredible stories and their live changing miracles of God healing power in their lives. Dr. Siddiki was infected with shingles the worst doctor’s had seen and his wife suffered a pelvic blood clot after the birth of their son Matthew James, leaving her paralyzed. My Mom’s lost most of her mobility after her stroke, but she could speak. Our world changed she was traumatized, and so were we.

During the evening session on the last day. Dr. Siddiki and his wife asked if there was anyone who needed or wanted Prayer our answer was yes, Mom was a prime candidate.

As Women of Faith my sister and I agreed, stood and believed for years that our Mom’s healing would manifest and that she would walk again. As I stood in line pushing my Mom in her wheelchair we inched closer to the front of the line. Patiently waiting our turn we were ready for our miracle. Our time had fianlly come. Dr. Siddiki talked to my Mom asking her what happened; she told him she’s had a stroke. He asked her what she has wanted; she said to walk again. That late summer night I witnessed a miracle before my eyes. My Mom stood wobblingly, her wheel chair slowly pulled from behind as two gentleman stood near.

Dr. Siddiki prayed and spoke words of Faith over Mom, we agreed together for her healing, Mama begin to take baby steps, as she gained courage she kept walking I cried uncontrollably. I saw her desire and will to try coming back; I saw her desire and a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

For the first time, my Mom took literal steps of independence, it was her time and my “Beautiful Moment” in 2011 a true Miracle. Surrounded by the most beautiful women I know (Mom) I will always remember that day.

2012 is a time to live beautifully, "Living Beautifully” means taking time to reflect on those remarkable moments that punctuate our lives. I’d like to hear about an indelible memory that changed you’re live in 2011.

I believe in miracle do you?

"Resurrecting Dead Dreams"

Happy 2012

It's time to resurrect your dead dreams. As children we dreamed of being teachers, doctors, engineers, nurses, firemen, dancers, and singers. However as we grew older, many of those dreams changed based on our talents, maturity and the advice we received from our parents, teachers and well-meaning friends.

God created each of us with specific talents and abilities; he determined the plan for our lives long before we were conceived. It's time for us to manifest what's on the inside.

What dormant vision had God given you? What dreams do you have inside that have not yet materialized? No matter what stage of life you're in right now, you'll be amazed and surprised what God can do with your dreams!

Each morning began to spend time with God, make him your first priority and he will unfold his wisdom to you and that's vital for your success.

When we operate within the realm of God's divine plan for our lives. We will not have to guess which door to open. "However, getting to the place is a process" but worth enduring.

2012 is here, God has given us a fresh start it's time to begin again. This new year, will demand discipline, steadfastness, determination, focus and unwavering faith.

It’s time to wake-up! Your dreams are waiting!

Believing in your greatness!
