Time to Level UP!

Time to Level UP! 

Hey Sis! 

Guess who's going to take her exam for her Real Estate License? 

IKR?! 

Girl, I am so GEEKED, I can barely stand it!!  

Do you know what this will mean for ME? 

For my family? 

For all of you taking this journey with me??

Ladies. 

In this ONE defining moment....

Packaged in the form of a simple test... 

My ENTIRE life will shift 

Be transformed! 

AND in essence, LEVEL UP!  

Perhaps, I should start from the beginning 

and tell you the entire story? 

I had a dream.

In the dream I was in a room by myself. 

A house actually. 

I noticed a front door and another separate door. 

The front door had a filthy mattress up against it. 

When I say filthy, it was DISGUSTING. 

It blocked the complete entrance of the door as if I couldn't exit that way. 

And I couldn't.

Because in the dream, I realized this door represented my past. 

And the filthy mattress reflected all the dirty parts of it. 

So I knew going that way wasn't an option.  

The other door was next to me, on the same level. 

It was closed

But for some reason, I knew, that if I opened this door 

That the devil was behind it. 

Almost as if, staying on the 'same level' would be to entertain the 'same devils' 

So I looked in another direction and I noticed 

A large staircase 

It was HUGE! 

and I noticed that it ascended up to such a HIGH level 

That you couldn't see it, until you got there. 

So you know what I did, right? 

I started to climb the stairs. 

And once I did, it was as if, I had a hand over my eyes

Because as I took each stair, I did so BLINDLY. 

Needless to say, eventually I arrived to the top 

Surprisingly, without tripping on any of the steps 

But funny thing was, when I reached the top 

I was met by a group of people I had NEVER seen before. 

Complete Strangers!

And what was even stranger, 

was the fact that I started sharing my life 

story with these people, and guess what they did? 

They CELEBRATED! 

And then I woke up. 

Now, for those of you who know my testimony 

You know I've had quite a few challenges in life.   

From Addiction, Affliction, Self -abuse, Toxic relationships, and Incarceration. 

BUT God, right? 

So, me telling my story in the dream was one thing,  

But what I couldn't understand was why these 'strange people' 

were so quick to celebrate my story, UNTIL..... 

I met them in REAL LIFE!  

You see these strangers are the ones who hired me

to be a Real Estate agent on their team. 

And I although I had this dream some time ago, 

I recognized these people when I met them recently. 

Because God says it's TIME for me to LEVEL UP! 

Do you understand what I'm saying to you, Sis?  

Me passing this exam is not just about just having a career change. 

THIS IS ABOUT HAVING A LIFE CHANGE! 

I have been on a journey called 'LEVEL UP'

During this ENTIRE process. 

But not one, to just 'level up' in my finances, 

Or one to 'level up' my network

BUT one where I LEVEL UP, in my relationship with GOD! 

Level up in my prayer life, 

Level Up in my fasting, 

Level Up in my giving, 

Level UP my faith! 

Ladies, IT'S TIME TO LEVEL UP!! 

David ran to battle line, to go up against a GIANT of a man 

Who was three times his size, and more experienced as a warrior. 

BUT, David had a different LEVEL of faith!  

And this different LEVEL of faith, gave him a different LEVEL of expectation! 

And He walked out what he believed, until he 

LIVED on the LEVEL of his faith! 

During my excursion to the top of the staircase, 

I walked seamlessly, without misstep, because I trusted God in that dream. 

And now, in Real Life, I STILL Trust HIM! 

As I reflect over that past 30 days since this job offer, 

I see where God has ushering me to a new LEVEL of faith. 

A new level of fasting and prayer 

A new level of seeking Him and trusting Him. 

A new Level of Expecting the IMPOSSIBLE! 

As part of the application process for this new role, I was required 

to undergo a background check. 

I told them Everything about my past, Sis! 

EVERYTHING!  

Why? 

Because I BELIEVE! 

And this dream came to my remembrance.

So I know GOD is Taking Me HIGHER!  

And guess what? 

I was RIGHT! 

They STILL want me on the Team,  

All I have to do is PASS.... THE....TEST!

So, Ladies, please join me, in honoring my GOD 

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! 

The God who sent Jesus to die for the sins of the world. 

The God who is NOT a man that He should lie. 

The God of amazing grace and whose favor goes before Me.

The God who speaks those things that are not 

as though they were! 

May the word shown to me in this dream

Go FORTH, and not return unto HIM void. 

And to my God be the Glory, Honor, Power and Dominion 

Forever! 

In Jesus Name!
