March 15, 2025

Hey Community:

We ask for Your deliverance from the grip of addiction, believing that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We surrender our pain, our cravings, and our past to You, asking for healing and restoration. May this prayer serve as a beacon of hope for those who are struggling with substance abuse.

I'm grateful you could join me today. This week has been a blend of productivity and a slower pace, as I navigate a significant life change in 2025 that is shaping me into a more refined version of myself. I share this with all humility, recognizing that this transformation is a divine process, orchestrated by God. While I am excited about the wonderful things to come, I must admit that the journey is challenging. To align myself with God's purpose, I've taken steps to organize my efforts, trusting that His glory will be revealed in due time. As Scripture reminds us, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).

Despite the intensity of my life right now, I'm thrilled about the strategic writing plan I've developed. This plan will allow me to provide you with weekly updates on my writing journey, including news about new books, upcoming challenges, scheduled events, and more. I believe you'll find great value in these updates! Additionally, I've initiated a faceless prayer routine to intercede for those in need, and I look forward to sharing how each new development connects with my content.

Recognizing this as a God-movement, I want to take a moment to pray for you. I pray that during this season of consistent movement, you feel covered, supported, and encouraged in your own journey. May you find clarity and strength in all that lies ahead. Amen.

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a heart full of intention, recognizing the divine movement in our lives. I lift up each reader and pray that during this season of consistent movement, they feel Your covering and support in every step they take. May they sense Your presence walking alongside them, providing encouragement and strength as they navigate their own journeys.

Lord, grant them clarity in their decisions and resilience in their challenges. May they trust in Your perfect timing and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Surround them with Your love and guidance, so that they may feel empowered to pursue the path You have set before them.

Thank You for the plans You have for each of us, and may we all experience the fullness of Your grace in our lives.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Excerpt

“Have you ever experienced the springboard effect? It’s that moment when all the momentum you possess within you isn’t quite enough to launch you from one area of your life to another. In the world of track and field, athletes rely heavily on the springboard technique in both the long jump and high jump. These sports require not just physical strength but also a deep sense of timing and precision, as athletes must harness their energy and focus it into a powerful leap that propels them beyond their current limitations. Just like these athletes, we too can harness our faith as a catalyst that enables us to break free from the confines of our past and soar into new dimensions of freedom and possibility.”

Introduction of Faith that Breaks

This excerpt is crucial because it encapsulates a profound truth that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt stuck or hindered in their journey. The "springboard effect" serves as a powerful metaphor for the struggles we face when our inner momentum seems insufficient to propel us into the next phase of our lives. Just as athletes in track and field must master the technique of utilizing a springboard to launch themselves beyond their current limitations, we too must recognize the necessity of harnessing our faith to achieve breakthroughs.

Having personally experienced the springboard effect countless times, I understand the essence of this dynamic all too well. It highlights our innate need for God and His divine guidance. In moments when I felt unable to move forward, I came to realize that true strength does not lie solely within myself; rather, it is found in my relationship with Jesus. This acknowledgment leads to the understanding that I cannot achieve anything truly good or worthwhile without His influence in my life. As Philippians 4:13 reminds us, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." My writing, therefore, is not merely a pursuit of personal expression but a commitment to align with the will of the Father, drawing on scriptural truths that provide hope and direction even amidst life's tumultuous challenges.

Reflecting on this, I am reminded that with God, nothing is impossible. In Matthew 19:26, we read, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." The springboard effect illustrates that while we may feel the weight of our circumstances, it is through faith that we can transcend our limitations. By surrendering our struggles to God and trusting in His plan, we can experience the transformative power of faith, breaking free from the chains that bind us and stepping into the freedom and possibility that God promises. This understanding reshapes our perspective on life's trials, encouraging us to seek divine assistance in every situation and empowering us to rise above the challenges we face, as we are reminded in Isaiah 40:31 that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles.

Writing Journey Updates

As I mentioned earlier, my progress may be gradual, but I am steadily making strides in my endeavors. Alongside the writing piece I previously highlighted, I am managing multiple projects simultaneously. You’ll learn more about each one in due time. Additionally, I engage with various writing platforms that require my attention and dedication. The reason behind this commitment is simple: I am currently in a season of my life where I must place my complete trust in God. He has been diligently working through the challenges of this process, and I am learning to surrender in ways that may seem unconventional.

Recently, I completed a new book titled Sacred Waiting: Embracing Purpose in Your Season of Singleness. This empowering guide is crafted for anyone navigating the often-overlooked and misunderstood journey of singleness. With a thoughtful blend of biblical wisdom, personal reflections, and practical insights, the book encourages readers to uncover the beauty and purpose that can be discovered in the waiting.

Moreover, I have initiated a challenge for the month of March aimed at uplifting women within our communities who are making a significant impact in the lives of others. This challenge provides an opportunity for both me and others to highlight the incredible work of women who are shaping the landscape of 2025. Additionally, there is a pressing need for individuals to demonstrate the love of God during this pivotal time. I have had a ball working through each one of these “challenge activities” through creation and participation. You can go to my YouTube Channel to view the progress. For more information, you can find additional details within my Nas.io Community.

I’m not really sure if I’ve ever made mention of it, but I am proud member of Intercessors On Purpose, a religious nonprofit that strives to impact the nation with prayer on purpose. We are going into April with our upcoming conference, and I am inviting you to join us.
