The Promise Is Still The Promise: New Watch My Feet Brand

On March 14, 2020, I was elated. I was celebrating internally because I had started to feel the real flow of my purpose. I had a plan and it was working. I had found the rhythm it took to blog consistently. I was coaching serious clients to the next level in their lives. I had self-produced and premiered the third episode of my Fireside Chats Web Series entitled "A Powerful Story Of Survival". I had been selected to interview on the popular morning show "Awaken Atlanta". I was watching my own feet and loving it.

It was like the story of Ruth (2:16) in the bible when Boaz commanded his men to "...let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her".

By the end of March 2020, the year had revealed what no one could have anticipated. I became sick from a non-Covid related illness. I was speechless by what the pandemic was doing to the world and I was so weakened by the racial injustices in this country. Like most of you, I felt like the rug had been yanked from underneath my feet. But mostly, I was hurt because I couldn't continue to produce the Promise I thought God had given me. It seemed as if my purpose was on hold.

So what do you do when it seems like the Promise has been broken?

I didn't know it at the time, but in retrospect I became very still. I sought after the lesson, for surely there was something to get out of this thing that was happening to us. I didn't want to miss the lesson or the blessing in it by focusing on the negative.

So, here are the lessons I've learned:

1. God's plan is not your plan. He created you to fulfill his purpose, NOT yours.

2. The sooner you realize #1, you'll be able to accept, be content, and move forward in any circumstance.

3. When you are walking in your purpose and a drastic shift happens, this is God's way of short-cutting you to the promise. Don't resist it. Don't give up.

So if you are reading this, I want to share something with you. No matter the circumstance, the promise is still the promise. Covid or no Covid, job or no job, house or no house, marriage or no marriage, birth or no birth, sickness or no sickness, fear or no fear, the promise is still the promise. It will not change.

So, I've picked up the promise, wiped it off and started to Watch My Feet again. God says (Isaiah 43:19) "See, I am doing a new thing! ...I am making a way in the wilderness." So, I am happy to share with you the new thing -- Watch My Feet brand for the same great inspiration to come, even in the wilderness.

If you are not careful, you will miss the call to action. A life shift or change may feel awful, but it is not a reason to give in. It is a reason to look for where God is directing you for the next phase.

My revelation in this moment is so powerful. Just remember, the Promise is still the Promise.

Much Love,
