It has been a super busy day after 2 days off this past weekend but I wanted to put you on to something I have been working on for some time now. During some of the most difficult times in my life, one of the things I started doing for healing was SERVING! Honestly, putting others before yourself is a major component of JOY! I know it sounds crazy but it is SO true.

Happy Motivational Monday, beautiful!

Your Monday pep talk is HERE!!

God has given EVERYONE a gift! He has given everyone of us something or some things that YOU are exceptional in! As you evolve, grow and change in life, it is your job to find out what that gift is. I found my gifts and talents by surprisingly, going through PAIN! Also by serving my community, learning from my mistakes AND learning how to take constructive criticism on a daily basis! I say that pain was my biggest motivator because going through pain forces you to ACT! You can either lean in to the pain and let it motivate you, persevere and push you forward OR you can stay stuck and never evolve by not letting the pain mold and shape you into the person God wants you to be. That is what trying times in life are supposed to do! There are so many different layers to pain and suffering but the key for my healing has been staying and remaining HUMBLE throughout it all. I have also made the decision to give my life to Christ so that has been the backbone of my healing and success!

The more that you persevere through difficult seasons in your life, the more glory God gets and the more that you shed the old version of yourself and become NEW! This is how your gifts and talents are uncovered! Hebrews 12:1 tells us to lay aside the things in life that keep us from seeing clearly. Sin, distractions and selfishness keep us from finding and getting to the 'gifts and treasures!' Ephesians 1:18 says to pray your eyes of understaning will be opened. When the eyes of understanding are blocked, discouragement will throw you off course, keeping you from seeing clearly which in turn, results in hopelessness. Today, I want to you to believe and put your trust in this scripture:

Matthew 6:21: '...where your heart is, there your treasure will be also!'

Keep persevering and you will find treasure, love! Cue the music, 'TREASURE... that is what YOU are!!!' By: Bruno Mars.
