My purpose is to awaken the God-given greatness inside people — especially those who have been overlooked, underserved, or underestimated. “Do not neglect the gift that is in you.” — 1 Timothy 4:14 I exist to give others what I once needed: truth, belief, guidance, and the tools to build a life that honors God and impacts generations. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32 I work each day to help people gain clarity about their goals and create a plan to achieve them. “Write the vision and make it plain.” — Habakkuk 2:2 I will empower people with knowledge that breaks cycles of lack and creates generational stability. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” — Proverbs 13:22 I will mentor young people and future leaders so they discover who they are in God and what they can become. “Train up a child in the way he should go.” — Proverbs 22:6 I will serve families and communities with limited access to opportunity and education. “Whatever you did for the least of these… you did for Me.” — Matthew 25:40 I will turn trials into testimony and use adversity as fuel for growth, strength, and purpose. “The testing of your faith produces endurance.” — James 1:2–4 I will build leaders who build leaders and create a multiplying impact that outlives me. “Go and make disciples.” — Matthew 28:19 At the core of my purpose is this truth: Every person has God-given potential. Most just need someone to unlock it. “We are His workmanship.” — Ephesians 2:10 I will help people see themselves the way God sees them — guiding them toward wisdom, confidence, financial freedom, and a deeper understanding of their identity and destiny. My legacy will be people. My mission will be transformation. My life will be lived in service. Because when God gives you gifts, you give back. And when you give back, generations change. “To whom much is given, much will be required.” — Luke 12:48

Far be it from me to lose my faith When silence fills this sacred space When prayers return with no reply And hope feels faint beneath the sky Far be it from me to doubt His hand When I can’t trace what He has planned For faith was never meant to see It’s trust in what He said will be This mountain looms before my view Unshaken, vast, unmovable too But whispers rise within my soul Speak to the stone, I’m in control Far be it from me to run or flee When waves are roaring over me I’ll stand upon the storming sea For grace still holds my trembling knees The mountain moves, not by my might But by His power, endless light For every tear and every plea Is casting faith into the sea So let the waters swallow fear Let doubt dissolve and disappear Far be it from me to not believe My God still moves, and I still breathe

Understanding Austerity With the government shut down, there’s never been a more important time to understand austerity. Most people have never even heard the word — but it’s a principle that shapes nations, families, and futures. Austerity means exercising discipline during times of plenty so you can endure and stay strong during times of lack. It’s not about deprivation — it’s about wisdom, restraint, and stewardship. When governments face financial strain, they cut spending to restore balance. When we face financial strain, the same principle applies — we must learn to live with purpose, prioritize what matters, and prepare for the storms before they come. Austerity isn’t about living with less — it’s about living with clarity. It’s the quiet strength to say no to impulse and yes to intention. To focus your resources on what creates freedom instead of what creates debt. When you live with austerity, you stop fearing uncertainty — because you’ve built discipline into your foundation. Challenge: Practice one act of austerity today. Skip a convenience. Pause a purchase. Replace a distraction with direction. Use that saved energy, time, or money to build something that lasts. Austerity builds resilience. Resilience builds freedom. Freedom builds legacy.

Eye write to help you see what I hear. I am a world-renowned author that people love to hear speak. I am not an artist but I can paint a picture with words to help you see what I say/write. It’s sometimes too many voices to capture at once but I’ll do my best. I like my writing and I think that most people that read what I write like it too. I am just scared to actually share it because I don’t know exactly what I want to say. But I know for sure that if I don’t say anything then it will never be heard. Or said. Or written. Is writing like talking to yourself? If you write it, did you say it or did you hear it? Did you have to say it to yourself to then read it and that gave you the ability to write it? Can you write without hearing first? Is your brain just constantly writing and you’re just not reading? Or is it constantly talking and you’re not listening. Or are you listening? Or reading? Or writing? Or talking? What are you doing? Or are you doing nothing at all? This is what my mind does constantly and I like that I can write what I think. My hands just sometimes hurt when I try to keep up. My fingers are cramping… Maybe this is what I am supposed to be doing. This is definitely what I love to do. One of my favorite parts of the Bible is James 1:2-8. I love it because Eye have seen and personally witnessed not only in my life but in the lives of countless others that the hardest times in our lives are consistently the times that make us stronger. Those challenges or difficulties are what make us who we are. They are why we are how we are. They are what help us to become who we are. The good times in life are great but the hard times are what build us. Nothing gets stronger without enduring pain first. Be thankful for challenges of many kinds. Testing of your faith creates perseverance and perseverance is what makes you mature and complete. Not lacking anything. And if you do lack anything, ask God for wisdom. God gives generously. Without finding fault.

The creator of Velcro got the idea after walking his dog. In 1941, Swiss engineer George de Mestral noticed burrs clinging to his dog's fur. Curious, he looked at them under a microscope and saw tiny hooks that latched onto loops in the fur. That inspired him to invent Velcro — a hook-and-loop fastener that would later generate millions in revenue and be used everywhere from shoes to NASA space suits. Moral of the story? Sometimes million-dollar ideas are hiding in plain sight — you just have to stay curious.
