Ya-know how sometimes we are so looking forward to the New Year for God to “do a new thing”, “take us to the next level”, “get my come-up”…or whatever blessing we’re hoping the Lord will bestow upon us? It’s healthy to have these expectations…to set our heart on things above (Col 3:1). But before all that…we got the holiday season. Yea! It’s like every group, organization, office, and ministry is throwing a party. The turn-up is real!
My friend Marcie shared with me what the Lord had convicted her about her end-of-year turn-up period.
“What if God wanted to give you everything he has for you in the New Year…everything you’ve been praying for…on January 1st? Would you be ready to receive it? Would you be prepared to handle it?”
A lot of times, people look to the New Year with great expectation on what God is going to do. In so doing, they write off the end of the current year…for the turn-up…and fail to get ready to receive what they are expecting. I’m guilty of this. My wife and mother’s birthdays are in December. Plus I got all the office-friends-church-organizational holiday parties that I eagerly look forward to (and I luvs me a good party…of which I’ve been known to turn-up). Little on my mind is the mental, spiritual, emotional, and educational head-space I need to be in if God were to direct-deposit a year’s worth of purpose-driven resources to me via ‘a way out of no way’. Maybe that’s why I didn’t accomplish everything I wanted to accomplish this year because God truly didn’t put on me more than I can bare.
Christmas parties, New Year’s parties, Just-Because-It’s-the-Holidays parties…yeah…do that. But don’t spend the last few weeks of the year partying…and forsake preparing. So after you turn-up…turn-down to hear the still quiet voice that’s preparing you for your purpose.

#WednesdayWisdom #022: Why There Will Never Be A Movie About Prince
I’m a huge Prince fan. His surprising death hit me hard. As the news coverage unfolded, I was wondering, “I wonder who’s going to play Prince in the biopic movie about his life story.” I think Bruno Mars could do it. But I like Jussie Smollett (Jamal from Empire)...

#WednesdayWisdom #015: Domestic Violence in the Church Can’t Always Be Prayed Away…
I already completed today’s #WednesdayWisdom. All I had to do was proofread and post. Then I saw this report about gospel singer, James Fortune’s, guilty plea to third degree felony assault for assaulting his wife back in 2014. Given my last rant about Israel...
