Entrepreneurship is NOT for the faint of heart. Blood, sweat, and real tears go into making Go-Getter Conference a success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I said this before, and I’ll say this again.... you can look at someone’s success and admire it, but it’s dangerous to wish you were in their spot. You never know what someone has to go through to get where they are in life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have heard “no” after “no”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have struggled to raise funds to make the conference happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve had to get extra creative to make things work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve had to learn the interesting art of selling tickets to a demographic that likes to wait to the last minute for event purchases.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve had to sacrifice so much of my personal desires for the sake of other women’s dreams.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Though I wouldn’t trade my journey for anything, I know what I’ve sacrificed... all for a dream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the good thing....
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve heard “no” time and time again until I got to the right “yes”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve learned how to leverage my knowledge, brand and audience to secure 4-figure sponsors. (Praying for 5-figure ones, so stand in agreement with me y’all.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My creativity has been challenged and I’ve learned I can always make something out of what I’ve been given - and that make me better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learning how to sell had made me much better at marketing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve sacrificed, but to see the lives of other women change is priceless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you, too, have a dream that’s worth pursuing. If you’re tired of waiting for your “moment”... I’m here to tell you that you’ve got to move NOW to make it happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Growth doesn’t happen without a seed nor sacrifice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Invest in yourself and make your way to Go-Getter Conference 2019. You will get what you need to take your life, ideas, relationship with God, and business to the next level.

Do struggle with not feeling qualified? As Christians, it's so easy to throw this quote around as a chant for overcoming our feelings of inadequacies. But maybe what we're striving to do in our own strength, believing "it" is our calling, is not at all what is meant by this often quoted verse 2 Corinthians 3:5:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Context is key! Look at this in a broader context:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"4 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. 5 It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. 6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The qualification pertains to being ministers -- a servant (according to the Greek) -- of the new covenant. The qualification is about sharing the message of God, not necessarily about being qualified to pursue a "calling" or career or even endure a trial. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So just maybe what we feel like we're doing for a living or pursuing in a ministry or engaging in a relationship or experiencing in an obstacle is indeed totally overwhelming and leaves us feeling unqualified. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe that means we need to seek God for wisdom and invite Him to make is HIS power known in our weakness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe we need to adjust expectations and garner support from others, even a life coach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe we need to press through or move on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because being unqualified is a part of life as God calls us to shift our focus onto Him and His greater purposes.
This. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a line in the sand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a marker of real joy as I turn from the beautiful ocean back towards my husband. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a lifetime in the making, friends. God’s work ain’t done! Hallelujah! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there is fruit from surrender. There is fruit from sanctification.
There is fruit from learning to abide in Christ.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m learning to embrace this life and let go of expectations. I’m
uncovering a soul at rest even without knowing what comes next. And ... I’m delighting at finally being healthy after a year of #whole30 living! No more dreading travel!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is good. May God get all the glory. It’s His doing.

23 is a pretty great number when it comes to anniversary milestones. For us, 23 is indeed a miracle. 23 is a sign of God's extravagant love. 23 is His redemption. 23 is an undeserved gift. 23 is grace. 23 is hope. 23 is unbridled joy. 23 is simple. 23 is sacrifice. 23 is family. There's no one else I'd rather do 23 with than the one I've lived the last 22 with . . . Stephen.
She did it folks, with such grace and poise, transitioning to a new school at the start of her junior year, all because God totally rerouted our family. It could have been an awful experience, but she went all in, from the very moment her daddy said, "Bean, we're taking the job." Her response gave him such peace, "Daddy, God is all over this. We have to go." Her words couldn't be more truthful than they are today. God's been all over the raising of this girl since day one. As this part of her story ends, the next one is just beginning and we continue to pray that He will always get all the glory.
