Just Create It Have you ever been in search of a new job, car or even a new home? Did you noticed any difficulties finding exactly what you were looking for? Sometimes, when God gives the greenlight for receiving your next blessing, locating it may not altogether be easy. This is what I’d like to call an opportunity for you to delve into creative faith. God has given us all resources and tools that allows us to create something brand new, make corrections and/or improvements in areas where there is emptiness and even little or no supply. When God saw that there was an absence of light present in the earth, He used his creative abilities. Instead of becoming discouraged about the ordeal at hand, He spoke up. His spirit immediately went to work at creating something that did not exist, merely out of nothing that did exist.
~ Amichia Gen. 1:1-3 Gen. 1:28 Rom. 4:17 Is. 45:18

Extending Comfort Let’s face it, there are times in life where we will experience sorrow and disappointment. But it is a refreshing thought to know in those moments there will be someone to offer words of encouragement, acts of kindness, and levels of comfort. Maybe it will be by way of a card, a telephone call, or even a visit. No matter the art of delivery, it leaves a priceless impression in your heart and mind that someone cares…God cares. It’s a part of God’s plan to comfort us in tough times. The comfort of our Father relieves troubles from the heart. Because the Father seeks to redeem you from shame and embarrassment, His comfort looks beyond any affliction and pain. It’s a comfort that can restore any imbalanced soul. It’s a comfort that calms all fears. God’s comfort is like no other. The Apostle Paul attributes his ability to comfort others as being due to the comfort that He received from God. His ability to restore the countenance of others is due to his own experience of being restored. There is no greater joy one can have than being able to extend the gift of comfort. When others are going through tough times, offer them that which you yourself have received of God…comfort. ~ Amichia Psalms 25 II Cor. 1:3-5 Wednesday, February 10 2021
Time Well Spent! I need you to consider how much of your time has been spent on involving yourself with watching other people work and make boss moves; scrolling through social media to be in the know of celebrity news; instigating drama and gossip; going broke just to reflect a flashy lifestyle; Working extra jobs and overtime just to keep that car or up your shoe game; overspending to impress others; starting new projects just to later abandon them; attending just about every sip ‘n see OR launch party? Running errands for other people, to include extended relatives? Should I keep going? How many hours did it equate to? Did any of it get you one step closer to achieving a goal? What did you gain from any of it? Did you ever feel that after all of the running “here and there” and just being “busy”, you were still left depleted, empty, and unfulfilled? When it came down to the vision that you had written for yourself- Did you ever say, “I’ll do it later!” Well my friend, just in case you didn’t know…. LATER IS NOW! Trust me, I have been there and the lesson that I learned was that those type of activities only gave me a temporary feel good, leaving me distracted, unfocused on the will of God and right back at my starting point! Now that we are in a NEW decade, challenge yourself with this: Commit to living the rest of your time on earth being focused on the BIG PICTURE (God’s will) by CONSISTENTLY showing up daily to see it through! Life is but a vapor and it goes by quickly. Therefore, you are going to have to pull back from the pettiness of drama, holding grudges, being argumentative, and staying bitter and mad at people. God’s will for you is to make others around you and the world that you live in better. He has placed all of His attributes within you, to include compassion, love, ingenuity, and creativity. Dedicate time to discover the solutions and gifts you carry. When you share a portion of yourself, you share a portion of Him! You will find that your ability to enhance this world…your workplace…your community leaves you fulfilled and happy, knowing that you are not taking life for granted! ~ Amichia
