In today’s message, I discuss how God hard-wired each of us with special gifts and talents.  He gave us these abilities so we can help one another and make our world a better place to live.  He designed you to be the best at whatever he called you to do.  I know it may sound cliché but it is true. You have those gifts for a reason.  Having them is not random or an accident but for glorifying God by serving your fellow man. So, my question to you is, are you using them?   Blessings,   Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp

In today's message, I ask the question is success the right goal?  Should your focus be on achieving success for the sake of being successful or living your life through your God-given abilities? You decide.   Blessings, Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp    

The creative’s role and contribution are broader than entertainment.  They become apart of our lives through ideas and expressions in art, technology, and business.  Creatives mark history, impact the economy and can be found in every department of every company.

Do you ever get ideas to create or invent something that you quickly dismiss as just as random thought? Do you ever come up with a solution to a problem that could make life easier not just for you but for other people, and never act on it?

Check out the full episode to listen how your ideas can change your life when given a chance.   Blessings,   Annena G.   Music and Produced by BJ Kemp

Everyone has limits including the professionals that we look to for help.  When you are seeking an answer to a problem or are wanting a breakthrough in a certain area in your life, then you have to test the limits, including those set by others. The answer is out there you just have to be willing to go the distance to find it. Blessings, Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp

Self-doubt and loathing is something that many people grapple with no matter their level of success.  It can be so prominent in a person’s mind that it can even overshadow God’s call on his or her life. If you suffer from doubt my hope that you will come to understand that God would not have called you to do something if he had not already given the tools you need to do the job.

We all have memories that we are emotionally tied to because they mark significant changes in our lives.  However, if your mind is always thinking about those days of old or that time when your heart was broken, then you are missing out on all the good things that are happening right now in your life.  You are also blocking yourself from moving forward. When you have a bright future and so much potential, it is time to start looking ahead and not behind.   Blessings,   Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp

Waiting for your big break?  Hoping that the stars will align and bring you good fortune? Many people live by chance (aka “Luck”), just waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting (crickets) for something amazing to happen. The good news is that you do not have to wait on luck anymore (yay) because YOU have the power to change your  life right in the palms of your hands.

When you think of the term - "self-discipline"  do you associate it with forced behavior or an act of love? Normally, when you hear the words “self-discipline,” we associate it with feelings of dread because we think of it as a “forced behavior.”  Where we are making ourselves to do things that we don’t want to do or we are giving up things that we really want. However, if you stop viewing self-discipline as a form of punishment, but instead as an act of self-love, then you may find that doing those things that are usually forced will actually become a pleasure. You can hear more about self-discipline and self-love by listening to the episode.   Blessings, Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp

Too many people miss out on opportunities because they were not ready to receive them when they come around.  Don’t make that mistake! Want to hear more?

We can’t stop bad things from happening.  We can’t avoid pain or loss.  Our lives can change without warning in ways that we don’t expect, as it did for me a few months ago. Recently, I experienced a health crisis that can potentially change my life forever.  Do I wish it never happened? Of Course! However, I know that I can’t go back in time and change what had happened so I made a decision about how I am going to live going forward. Check out the episode to hear what decision I made.  Thanks for listening!   Blessings Abound, Annena G.   Produced and Music by BJ Kemp

Creativity is a force, a conduit or pathway to discovering our uniqueness.  It is how we solve problems and fix broken things.  It is how we innovate and build new bridges of human connection so we can reach one another. Creativity is not limited to people who consider themselves to be artists.  Creativity can be used in every area of life – in business, at home, and heck even in accounting! So if you don’t think of yourself as being creative, it is time for you to change your concept of yourself. Think about what would life look like if you were to step into your full potential and used your creativity? What problems will you solve? How can you impact the world? I challenge you to use your creativity and start changing the world around you. If you want to hear more, check out Episode 51 – Creativity!   Blessings, Annena G.   Produced and Music by Bj Kemp
