My Journey

What motivates you?

I used to wake up helpless, just going with the flow or mindlessly scrolling for hours on Instagram—hours wasted on cheap dopamine. I was unhappy. I lacked the motivation to do anything extra other than what was required. 

I am unsure when I changed or decided to start dreaming again. I remember listening to Apostle Joshua Selman. His words always encouraged me. He would always say look unto the cross. I did. I remember praying to God, just handing everything over to him. 

I am weak and as human as it gets, but I know that I am in God’s hand and that his Mercy radiates all through my life. I have the courage to try again. If a project fails, I try a new one. If a client leaves, I up my skills while praying for new clients.

The truth is that most people who show a happy face or seem competent everywhere have a dark side. My dark side was when I thought I could do everything with my power and wisdom. The realization that I alone was not enough gave me a beating to helplessness and not willing to try; some would call that depression. 

Apostle Joshua Selman changed my life because he made me aware that not being enough on my own was a truth. A more significant fact is that a competent God is ready to accept me, just as I am. No matter how frail or how big of a sinner I am. 

Another thing that motivates me is seeing other black women succeed, win, and achieve their goals. Every time I hear these women talk, all they always say is God. These women have a prayer life, a word study life, and, most importantly, a personal journey with God.

My biggest motivation is my personal journey with God. I created my coloring book with that journey in mind.
