There are times when I might not have the answer, but I know what is not the answer. I may not know exactly what to do, but I know what not to do.

There were times when I didn’t know what I wanted to major in while in college, but I knew dropping out wasn’t the answer. There were times in the NFL when I was a free agent and I wasn’t sure what was next with football, but I was sure I couldn’t get out of shape. I had to be ready for every opportunity.

There will be times in life when the vision isn’t always clear, or you don’t have all the answers, but that’s what having faith is about, right? God’s got you no matter what. You might not know what to do, but you can at least not go against God’s teachings. Do your part, handle what you can control, and God will do the rest.

Having your first baby is one of the most incredible experiences.

Witnessing the journey from conception to birth is a true miracle that showcases the amazing power of God.

It reminds us of the blessings babies are and how each one is a unique miracle. It’s a reminder that we were all once newborns and that we are all special miracles from God.

This realization ignites a sense of gratitude and motivates us to use our potential for greatness. A baby is a precious gift from God, and their presence continues to bless those around them.

Let us recognize ourselves as gifts and appreciate the other little blessings in our lives, extending beyond babies. The miraculous nature of our birth highlights the greatness of God and reminds us that we can achieve anything through the strength provided by Christ.

“If you knew better, you’d do better.”

This saying suggests that our actions and decisions are influenced by our level of knowledge and understanding.

In my early life, we experienced poverty. Initially, I didn’t mind, as it was all I knew. However, when we moved to a nice neighborhood and bought a beautiful house, I witnessed a different way of life and new possibilities.

Although we had to return to the poverty-stricken area after a year, my perspective had changed. I had glimpsed another way of life and refused to accept the previous hardship. I knew that the situation was temporary, and I didn’t want to stay in the hood forever.

I had seen too much and knew better.

This realization applies to everything I pursue. Once I see that something is possible, my actions align with that belief.

Sometimes, lack of confidence arises when we haven’t witnessed something being done before. However, it’s important to remember that someone out there has already achieved what you desire. They serve as proof that it’s possible.

Once you learn the necessary actions and decisions, it’s up to you to act. Knowing the answers places the responsibility squarely on your shoulders. Learn from life’s ultimatum, do better once you know better.

In every difficult situation I’ve faced, whether it’s dealing with loss, poverty, uncertainty, personal struggles, or delayed dreams, I have always managed to overcome them.

The key factors that have helped me are my faith in God, my determination to take the next right step, and the knowledge that I have successfully overcome challenges in the past.

This understanding strengthens my faith and confidence, preparing me for future hardships.

So, whether you’re currently facing a tough time or anticipate one in the future, remember that it is temporary, and you have the ability to successfully navigate through it. Do not lose heart when confronted with adversity, as everything will eventually fall into place. You’ve got this!
