Don’t Let the Devil Define Your Progress (Or Your Purpose)
A little while ago, I fell into the trap of the enemy. The mentality of not enough, not good enough. But I was reminded that the devil is a LIAR! He will manipulate and disturb reality so you can believe his lies.
💥 Feeling those lies too?
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay there. I created a FREE printable PDF of Scriptures that helped me fight back and speak truth when the devil tried to take over my mind.

Speak truth. Walk in victory. You were made for more.
Since my little B was born, I have been actively trying to find a way to make an income from home. I didn't plan to be a mom, but I so desperately wanted to be the best mom I could. And that meant I wanted to be present. In that journey of pursuing the dream of being a present mom, the one who plays, the one who says yes, and is present on the milestones, the one who can go on adventures and have fun, I spent a lot of time looking for ways to make a full-time income from home. And in my attempt, I tried so many things that brought some “success,” sacrificing many, many hours—not counting the “normal” jobs I was working to provide while the side business kicked in.
💻 Real Talk:
If you're in that same search—trying to find a real way to earn income from home while staying present with your babies—I’ve been there too.
I now run a digital business that allows me to work just 2 hours a day from home and still make income that blesses my family.
💡 If you’re curious and want to learn how I do it:

Why imma sharing all this? Because I was feeling like a FAILURE, and because I know you may be there too.
I was feeling like a failure because, in my view, I was not where I wanted to be, neglecting to see all I have overcome and achieved. I was supposed to be a milliner by now (the audacity) with no debt, the dream home, a high tithe payer at my church, and paying for my entire bloodline to be on vacation 24/7. (Ya’ll, I know it sounds absurd, but y’all—this girl gotta dream lol.)
And in my mindset, I started agreeing with the stinking devil! 🤦🏻♀️ I allowed my mindset to shift. Now I was not good enough, not finding success, not building something fruitful…lies, lies, lies, and more lies. The enemy is a liar! I failed to see that even though those BIG dreams are not a reality yet, I'm more than blessed, and I have success. It's just that my success looks different. (Ensure you define what success looks like to YOU!)
I have learned so many skills and my mindset has completely shifted. I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I have a healthy family. I get to be the present mom I have wanted to be. I have grown and continue to grow an online business that has made thousands of dollars online working 2 hours from home daily. I have found friendship. I have been able to serve people, teach people (big and small). I have overcome obstacles.
I failed to acknowledge that this life is a journey, and each step of that journey is allowing me to become the woman, wife, mom, entrepreneur, friend, daughter, and stranger that God has called me to be.
Don't come to an agreement with the liar. Prepare for the fight! Because, sister, I'm telling you he can't win. We walk in the victory of Jesus Christ. He has been defeated, and unless you agree with the devil, he can't have you! Nor your family, nor your bank account, nor your peace, nor anything else God has entrusted you with.
