What is keeping you in Egypt?

I've mentioned previously about my priorities shifting and entering a new season in my life...and might I add it's definitely a different season. I've built stronger bonds and relationships that only God could put together. One person in particular has been my most encouraging person. Whenever I need to vent, pray, cry, or laugh this person has been there for me. I love the fact that the relationship is mutually beneficial yet we both can learn from eachother. I truly thank God.

I recently have been in talks of my season and what God wants for me. I'm currently reading a dynamic book called "One in a Million: Journey to your promised land" by Priscella Shirer. It's eye opening and focusing on us as Christians wanting the abundant life that God has promised us. It's the journey of God's people leaving Egypt in search of Canaan. Egypt is described as dry and a place of bondage. Canaan is described as the abundant life we hope for. There was a question that came up as "What's your Egypt?" or should I say What is holding you back from receiving the abundant life that God promises you? Things that can hold us back are in the forms of bad relationships/friendships, job, finances,holding grudges,staying in your comfort zone, your faith etc. I know that there are a few items holding me back but as of this week, I let it all go...I'm ready for my abundant life!

I encourage you all to think about what is keeping you to remain in Egypt? What are some things or people you need to let go or add? I challenge you all today to start now...fast...pray and ask God what you need to do to have your abundant life?

Im thankful for my season and the people God has allowed to stay in it with me. My good relationship with that one person I spoke of earlier has enriched my life dearly...let's all try to have these type of deposits in our life.

National Black MBA Conference....

Happy October!  Time is flying right past us.  In just 2 months we will be ending our 2010 year!!!  Just to catch you up on my whereabouts and blogging, I've been slacking.  I was so happy and excited to start this blog and then a entered a different season of my life. My focus changed and things around me changed as well but just know God is moving honey!! 

Last month I attended the National Black MBA (Master of Business Administration) Association Conference in Los Angeles, California.  Can we say FABULOUS?!  I had the best time.  The conference was definitely informative and inspiring.  It was so great to see all of the professional BROWN SKIN men and women networking and looking for career opportunities.  It touched my heart and I was definitely humbled by the experience because God surely made a way for me during that trip.  It was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center and MBA's came from all over the country to attend.  I felt like I was freshman in high school trying to find my way on the first day of school.  I was nervous and a little anxious but once I walked around, I was fine. 

The National Black MBA Association has different chapters all over the country.  The organization caters to people of BROWN SKIN with higher education degrees looking for continued education on how to succeed with their degrees. Its also a way to network with individuals on many different levels.  Although I went to LA for this conference, I did have time to tour the city and what it has to offer.  I also had a chance to visit family in Costa Mesa and see the coast line...BEAUTIFUL and peaceful.  Overall, it was a good experience and I am sooooo glad I made time to attend.  Learned alot, seen alot, and will cherish more opportunities such as this one. If you ever have an opportunity to attend this conference, you should definitely attend.  Next year it will be in Atlanta, GA....
