Can I start of by stating that I am so excited that this has finally become a reality? This vision of creating a blog and extending into entrepreneurship came to me in 2012, and although there have been many obstacles to get this up and running, I am so excited that the time is here.
La Belle Vie came into my mind as I faced many challenges dealing with my career, being single, life decisions and walking into my ministry. I have always been somewhat of an optimist and stated through various trials “Life is Beautiful” despite how high the mountain was before me. I wanted to show others that through Christ all would be taken care of and I needed to simply rest in Him. Now, let me be honest, this was not always my philosophy. Christ had to groom me into this mindset and way of thinking. Often times people look at me and think that everything comes to me easy, or my life is perfect, and this is not the case. I had to learn that the joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and that my life was being guided by Him.
I need to make it clear that I will only do/share as the Lord leads me to do. God is the CEO of my ministry and business (He is the CEO of MY LIFE), and I am simply the Founder and COO. This means I am only operating what He was given me, first and foremost, and will do whatever He has called me to do with La Belle Vie. There are many Scriptures, testimonies and lessons learned that I would love to share in hopes of saving someone from the heartache and pain I have gone through. My vision for helping others is found in Galatians 6:1, which states “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently”. It is because of this principle that men and women poured into my life to help and encourage me along the way, so that I can now, in turn do the same.
Although few of my topic areas will deal with issues young ladies and women face, the vast majority of what is coming up is notgender specific.
I am looking forward to sharing and growing with you, and hope that this brings us all closer to Our Father.
For HIS glory only…..
May God richly bless you!
XOXO
