Genesis begins within you!!!!

Its strange how God works, He always seems to blow my mind. His revelations far exceeds the understanding of man, indeed He is God and none can compare to Him. I thank God for knowledge and wisdom, He does impart truth and knowledge to those who seek it.

God brought me back to the book of Genesis (the beginning),its kind of weird I always thought this book only referred to the creation story(man, woman, animals etc.) but as always God is all knowing and His knowledge supersedes ours. Genesis begins in the mind, it begins within us.sometimes  I believe we all underestimate our power and self worth, do we really know how powerful our thoughts and words are? It was a though/idea in which God created the earth and all the other things,its was a thought that man created planes, skyscrapers, cars , chairs etc. Every idea and no matter how foolish it may seem can be possible, we can make them a reality. In our minds we toy with ideas but we refuse to make these dreams materialize, we doubt our ability to be great things, we doubt even God to do big things in our lives.Genesis means the beginning of something or from where something starts. Everything is possible with Christ, nothing is impossible or too hard unless we refuse to believe.

Sometimes I stop and look at everything around me, how can a person doubt that a creator exist? how can one doubt the power and down play the awesomeness of God? the world testifies to a master mind, someone greater than man.

God wants us to believe, and not to just believe but to believe big. There is no harm in dreaming, it is from these visions and dreams that we create and live our destiny. Our dreams are the blueprint to our future. Speak things into existence, speak positive words.The self-fulfillment prophecy is a dangerous phenomenon. What we think and what we speak can indeed affect our future and how we view ourselves.Don’t toss your dreams out the window,keep believing and striving and watch it come to pass.

Let there be and there was.

The Morning After By Kendra Norman Bellamy and Hank Stewart.

100111-124216As always Kendra Norman Bellamy never fails to to entertain me with her novels and not to mention  Hank Stewart who  used his amazing talent to help fabricate such a thrilling and moving story.

This book had me thinking and even there where times I felt I was being ministered to by God himself, the novel was so spirit filled and anointed. It was more than words being printed on pages but a sermon being presented in the storyline.Anyways, I believe the major theme in this novel would have to be assumptions, even the cover of the book had me assuming that the book was going to be totally different than what the true story was about.I emphasize with the characters for I too am guilty of being judgmental.All these characters did was assume things without fully examining the situation…Jennifer assumed T.K. didn't want to marry her, when in truth the man was just waiting on the perfect time,Elaine assumed her husband Mason still hadn't forgiven her for her infidelity because he wasn't intimate with her but the truth was that the man was struggling with some personal issues. Also,Angel was convinced that her husband was having affair because of the evidences she saw but her assumptions were wrong also.

This has taught me a big lesson never to assume things or draw conclusions about a situation without truly examining the situation.If these women had just communicated with their significant other about their problems, then  Essie wouldn't have to leave her sweet Ben and Jesus’ side to come to earth to show these grown women the right way and scold them for their irrational behavior.

Overall, this book was truly entertaining. The entire structure of the novel was skillfully organized and well written, the novel was not overwhelming and exhausting but with the use of humor, sarcasm, suspense and drama, it kept me turning the pages until I had reached the end.

As always I encourage everyone to go purchase this novel or burrow it at you local library and please do continue to support these two remarkable authors who have contributed greatly to the literary world with their inspirational novels.
