Be Ready For the New

God's doing a new thang (why do I hear that throwback DC Talk song though๐Ÿค”) something we've never seen before, in the world๐ŸŒŽ, in our lives (sometimes He even sends signs in the sky to signal it ๐Ÿ‘€) – but you can't see the new thinking & looking at things the old way ๐Ÿ‘“ and doing the same ole thang. His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours! Renew your mind and be ready for the new! Be new in Love & in worship, the Word and intimacy in His presence – it's oil in your lamp (before a great banquet some day๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’–) Be free from the ways of the world as He leads you to – our God is supernatural ya'll He's not bound by the ways & wisdom of man and gives us power to walk like Him in His wisdom. When we look to Him everything else comes into focus – darkness can never eclipse His light. Do something you've never done. Also remember to always shine bright like a star๐ŸŒŸ following the lead of the Son ๐Ÿ˜ – and don't look directly at the other sunโ˜€๏ธ without ya special glasses๐Ÿ˜Ž (it's the mom in me;). ๐ŸŽคYou make all things new, I will follow You forward! โ€œForget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 "Do not be conformed to (the patterns of ) this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you…"

God is doing a new thing on the Earth, in our lives – but you can’t see the new thinking the old way. ๐Ÿ‘“ Renew your mind and be ready for the new!











Dream, Love and Sing With All Your Heart: Embrace Your Passion

singwithpassionjulene

Dream, love and sing๐ŸŽค with all your heart…I’m gearing up for our Spring musical showcase at school. We’ve been practicing our vocals & singing dynamics since January & it all culminates to a show where each of us selected a song that reflects our heart.๐Ÿ’– Mine is Unconditionally by Katy Perry mixed with my original.

I first heard the song on Tyler Perry’s The Passion last year & love the message in that context- how God who is love gave His life for us & poured out His all to pursue relationship with us. He’s been teaching me about unconditional love & setting others above myself, how we can show the world true love when we love with all our heart like He did.

Follow Your Dreams Boldly: Inspiration from the Story of One of My Favorite Dreamers & Speaking Your Story

josephspeakingcollage4

Sometimes it’s what you’re most afraid of that’s part of your purpose ๐Ÿ‘€ – for me that was speaking! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ These are the confessions of a former major introvert… I used to shake in my boots literally on-stage and even when I had to talk in class as a kid my heart would beat loudly…๐Ÿ˜ฉ Growing up shy I hardly talked as a little girl and people would ask my mom if I was mute๐Ÿค. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I squeaked Oprah๐Ÿ‘‘ – I wanted to speak and use my voice to inspire others but didn’t know how i was gonna cause I was too scared.๐Ÿ˜–

Through practice and perseverance I got through that fear and surprisingly now speaking is my FAVORITE thing to do! I find myself on stages and in classrooms (where I’d probably pass out or drown in a puddle of my own sweat years ago๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝ) speaking my story and singing encouraging songs๐ŸŽค to inspire other kids who were like me to overcome their fears and live their big dreams…๐Ÿ”ฅ

Recently I got to speak with a group of teen girls in Dallas (some of them pictured here) about the journey of dreams๐Ÿ’– – how God has a big dream for each of our lives and how even when things get tough everything works together for good for those who live on Purpose.๐Ÿ’ฅ We talked about the story of Joseph the Dreamer in the Bible who is my fave (go watch the Emmy-award winning movie based it, it’s awesome and Joseph ain’t too hard on the eyes;) and how even when he was in a pit and the prison he trusted God and served others with his gifts until his big dream came true. God used all of those trials to develop him into a true, powerful leader who would go on to save his people – a foreshadowing of another great leader to come… ๐Ÿ‘‘

Ever since I was younger God told me my story was like Joseph’s and the word “dream” was always in my heart. Everything about my businesses and life had the word dream included somehow since I was a kid (as did gifts my friends gave me pictured here๐ŸŽ). Like Joseph I overcame years of confusing circumstances and now I’m living out the very dreams I had written down years before – speaking, singing, serving others’ dreams and creating a multimedia company that inspires youth to live on purpose. With Love everything is possible๐Ÿ’– – so go follow your dreams and dare to share your story – someone needs to hear you speak about how you overcame too. I truly believe your story can set someone free and I believe in you!

Love and peace โœŒ๏ธ Julene

P.S. Have a group of kids or teens who could use some inspiration through speaking, singing and a creative interactive presentation? Feel free to send me a line and let me know how I could help!๐Ÿ’ž Together we can inspire the next generation!

God is Love…
