As a sat here tonight preparing for my upcoming empowerment seminar, I began to think back on how at one time I poured my heart into my blogs without considering how much of an influence my words have on the lives of others. I've discovered a new passion for life over the last couple of years. Mainly because I have come to the realization that life is not promised, nor does death discriminate. I've grown spiritually, which has greatly contributed to my undying desire to serve as a blessing to the world. We are all blessed with certain gifts and talents that are to be utilized to bring glory to God. We are to be relentless when seeking to know God and his Word. Nevertheless, sin is always present; however, our faith in God must remain in tact in order to escape the wages of sin - which we all know is death. Currently, I am embarking on a fascinating journey that is allowing me to utilize not only my gifts and talents, but also my heart, my pain, and my struggles. Tran
