Guys! OMG! It’s been so long and I apologize. I’ve been going through so much. Family problems, financial issues, quit my job…lists goes on and on but God! He is definitely keeping me, strengthening me, and guiding me. My phone broke and I refuse to pay for an iPhone 6 when the iPhone 7 comes out next month so I am without social media right now. Forgive me, but you can keep up with me here…Hopefully. lol

Now with all these things that are going on it is hard to stay afloat, to stay positive, to not give up…it is really hard and even me, Positive Patty is STRUGGLING WITH THIS. Like I took this leap of faith that I knew I was ready for and now when I can’t see how…I begin to doubt. But isn’t that what faith is? The substance of things hoped for that we cannot see.  For the last couple of weeks I have been battling. It’s like I know I am on this leap of faith right now but reality keeps hitting me in the face. I get depressed, full of anxiety, second guessing myself and what God has already told me. It was like how can I doubt when I am the one who constantly tell people to remain positive, it can always be worse, things are only temporary, if He did it before, He can do it again and so on. Like I know these things but oh when it is YOU going THROUGH things are easier said than done.

I was so down and out. I mean mood was just all over the place and so not like myself until this past Sunday. Now I got an opportunity to take a job, all benefits were included, pay was amazing, could move to a better area, but I would have no time to pursue acting. Acting is the reason why I moved to L.A. Acting is apart of my purpose. I had to weigh my options. Although taking the job would help relieve my financial issues, long term I would be unhappy. Money cannot buy us happiness. I prayed for confirmation on not taking the job and boy oh boy when God gives us confirmation it is so clear!

Now here I am struggling, wondering how I’m gonna pay my bills, no steady income and God tells me not to take the job?! Like what? Oh God you really playing right? OH no! He is not! He wants me to remember what He told me when I quit my job. He wants me to remember what He shown me and to continue to walk this bridge of faith. He wants to be the ultimate provider and when you can’t see it at all that is when GOD shows up and shows out baebayy!

So any who this past Sunday my pastor preached from the topic “Stay Hot”.  He referenced Revelation 3:15-16 :

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”

God wants us hot! He wants us on fire with our purpose and destiny. We cannot do destiny warm, that’s half stepping. The word only works in fire. The word inside of you is like fire. Although God’s word inspires heat, there are elements that want to “cool” the word off of you. These are disappointment, discouragement, and distraction. We cannot allow the 3 D’s to steer us off of our PURPOSE COARSE, our DESTINY. These 3 D’s will always be around but we must not get affected by it and keep progressing. Doing destiny requires all of you.

My pastor gave us five ways to stay hot…

1. Write the vision with vivid clarity. Write it all thee way down! You need to see it!!!! This includes vision boards. The more you look at it, the more clear it is to you.
2. Pray into the vision daily.–this keeps the vision in front of you and invites heaven into it. When you believe in something you pray into it.
3. Speak on the vision daily. –need to stay hot. Everybody around you needs to know. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. We stir ourselves up more as we talk about it more.
4. Add a brick to the vision daily.–Invest in your vision. Every single day do something towards it. That progress will help to keep you hot.
5. Live with other hot people. — Surround yourself with like-minded people. Do life with other hot people.

Bottom line is if we are lukewarm about things they will never get done. We need fire for purpose. Fire and desire. Don’t get comfortable. Don’t let the 3 D’s throw you off track. Keep the vision in front of you.  Always excel for higher and higher. When you leave this earth you want to be completely empty. Stay hot, passionate and focused.

XOXO
