God is Cooking Up Something

Welcome back!
I have been MIA I know. But the truth is, I’ve been busy. Super busy. Today was the annual Women’s Conference at my church. It was fabulous. The theme was “Cooking Up Joy”. The truth is God is cooking up something in my life, and it is producing a great deal of joy for me, but I’m really still not sure what he is up to. I am expecting him to work and move and I am excited about what he has in store.
This week already had some exciting happenings, including on Tuesday that I had my Christian Charm School materials printed here locally and I have already sold a few copies.
Second, on Wednesday I was invited to a conference in San Antonio, TX in October that I am super excited about going to. It is a miracle in itself that I am going and I know God has big opportunities and connections to make in store there.
I have also booked 3 speaking engagements this week. More details to on those will come soon.
Though, I am not sure what’s next I am anticipating something great.
Letting It Go

Sometimes, I tend to be too much of an overachiever, not looking ahead before I leap into something. With my online business and projects I tend to do that alot. I make hasty decisions. I don’t think things through enough. So, over the last week or so I’ve been thinking alot and praying alot about my decisions. As a result, I’m letting some things go and not picking up some other things.
I am letting go of:
- my MomTV show, Faith Inspires.
- Faith Notes from Alyssa is returning to Mom-Daughter Connection ezine and keeping its focus of being for moms of girls of all ages. If someone chooses to subscribe that is not a mom of a daughter that’s ok, but that’s my ministry and my focus so that’s where it is going to stay.

I must remained focused. God has a plan and a reason for the focus and vision he has given me and I must stay on task. That’s what he has told me to do and I’m going to obey. It just took some pruning to get me back on track.

I AM Inspired

As of this week, I am officially the Editor of the Inspired Bliss Channel over at Blissfully Domestic, an online magazine for women. Check out my first post.
What Inspires You?
Inspiration. It can come from many places, it is what gets us going, keeps us going and makes us want to “keep going.” Without it we likely won’t get much done, or have a reason to even try. If you are “inspired,” then you know what it is like to have the ability to get things done, because after all that’s what inspiration does for you.
There must be something present in one’s life to inspire them. It is likely different things for different people. We all don’t thrive on the same type things.
