God Put the Potential for Success & Blessings in All of Us

12 Dec God Put the Potential for Success & Blessings in All of Us

God put the potential for success and blessings in all of us.
Not too long ago I pressured myself  to anxiously try to succeed with developing the 5 Acres of land Orisa and ancestors gave me. In the past oftentimes I would try to do things all by myself quietly and suffer in silence.  Looking to Obatala and asking for patience and his /her grace I eventually came to the realization that obstacles are not an enemy.
I realized that when I am pressured it’s an opportunity to grow.
Obatala would not allow me to fail if he didn’t have something up his sleeve for me.
I would sometimes have a lot of good things going for me on the project and I would focus on the one thing that was pressuring me.
This pressure made me pray bolder, and use the pressure to be more determined and not discouraged.
Eventually I shared my frustrations with a friend of mine who happens to be a child of Obatala. She suggested if I reached out bolder, bigger perhaps I could get the resources I needed. She said. Have you thought of a telethon like Lou Rawls did back in the 70’s. Wow! I never thought of that, I jumped on it.
Last night on 12/10/2023 I saw the benefits . I took the high road, I took that pressure and made it my power
When I shifted my perception of pressure I realized the blessing was in the pressure. It was God ‘s  set up  to bring me to believe dig down deeper, staying calm in the storm.
Thanks to each of you who support my dreams by contributing to our temples expansion
I woke up with a smile on my face. It felt fresh good and uplifted.  I am buying flowers for my shrine to just give thanks for the divine connection I had with you all yesterday afternoon. Thank you thank you thank you!

In case you missed it, here is a replay of the LiveAthon.

You can still take advantage of the donation packages or make general donations through the end of this year! I encourage you to dig deep & help me to expand the temple.
