Recently, I shared a powerful truth with my Women in Pursuit of Purpose Facebook group that stirred something deep not only in them—but also in me. As we wrapped up a session, I heard myself say: “Your calling is greater than your comfort zone.”
And I felt the weight of those words settle into the room (and into our hearts). Today, I want to expound on that thought and shine a bit more light on what it means—because I believe it’s a message for you, too.
✔️ The Assignment Requires Courage
God never calls us to a life of ease—He calls us to a life of obedience. The moment you say “yes” to purpose, you must also say “no” to comfort. Why? Because:
Purpose stretches you.
Calling challenges you.
Destiny demands movement.
We see it in Scripture time and again. Moses had to leave the desert. Esther had to walk into the king’s court. Peter had to step out of the boat. And each one of them had to face the same decision: Will I stay in what’s comfortable…or will I move in what’s calling me?
✔️ Fear Delays Purpose—Boldness Activates It
If fear has been speaking louder than faith, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth:
Fear delays.
Comfort excuses.
But BOLDNESS activates.
When we choose boldness over fear, we activate doors, divine connections, and supernatural provision. The moment you decide to obey, heaven starts moving on your behalf. 📖 Joshua 1:9 reminds us: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
God doesn’t ask us to go alone—He promises His presence, power, and provision every step of the way.
🔥 Your Inheritance Is on the Other Side of Obedience
You were never meant to camp out in your comfort zone. Your inheritance—your next level, breakthrough, business, book, ministry, or mission—is on the other side of a yes.
And that “yes” might be scary, risky, and even lonely. But it is also sacred. Because God meets you at the place of your obedience.
🙌🏽 Remember:
God’s will doesn’t always feel safe. But it’s always secure.
Your calling isn’t casual—it’s Kingdom.
You weren’t born to be comfortable. You were born to conquer.
📝 Final Thoughts
As you reflect on this, I challenge you to ask yourself: Where have I chosen comfort over calling? What small step of obedience can I take today? It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be bold. Let this post be your nudge, your confirmation, and your encouragement to rise up and walk in it.
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14–16
There’s something about light. It changes a room. It lifts a mood. It helps you see clearly. But in Matthew 5:14–16, Jesus tells us we’re not just carriers of light — we ARE the light.
And that light? It’s not meant to be hidden. It’s meant to Bless. Build. Impact.
1. Bless — Your Light Brings Benefit
Think of the last time someone’s kindness turned your day around. That’s what blessing looks like. When you let your light shine, you’re offering hope to the discouraged, encouragement to the weary, and comfort to the hurting. You’re adding value to someone’s life simply by showing up with love, compassion, and truth.
Blessing is contagious. One act of kindness often sparks another. And when the world sees light like that, it takes notice.
2. Build — Your Light Strengthens Others
Light doesn’t just brighten a space — it reveals what’s possible. Your words, actions, and faith can build courage in someone else. They can strengthen a friend’s resolve, help a coworker find clarity, or inspire a neighbor to take their next step in faith.
Building takes intentionality. It’s not about quick fixes but about sowing seeds of truth, encouragement, and wisdom that help others grow.
3. Impact — Your Light Creates Lasting Change
Here’s the beautiful part: when your light blesses and builds, it naturally makes an impact. Impact isn’t just about big moments; it’s about the lasting imprint you leave on someone’s heart. It’s the way your love points them toward God. It’s the conversation that shifts their perspective. It’s the consistent example that whispers, “God is real. His love is here.”
Your Light Matters
Jesus didn’t say, “Try to be the light.” He said, “You are the light.” That means your life is already positioned to bless, build, and impact — right where you are. At work. At home. In your community. In your church. So today, step onto the candlestick. Be that city on a hill. Let your light shine, and watch God use it to change lives.
Gratitude isn’t just a fleeting emotion; it’s a profound acknowledgment of the goodness that surrounds us daily. When we pause to express thanks, we’re tapping into a timeless wisdom that enriches our lives in unexpected ways.
In Psalm 103:2-5, the psalmist beautifully captures this sentiment: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.”
Imagine a life where every moment is infused with gratitude—a heart that overflows with appreciation for the big and small blessings alike. It’s like discovering hidden treasures in the ordinary, finding joy in the simplest gestures, and embracing a deeper sense of fulfillment.
As we practice gratitude, we awaken to the beauty that often goes unnoticed. It’s about opening our eyes to the intricate tapestry of blessings woven into the fabric of our existence. From the laughter of loved ones to the warmth of the morning sun, each moment becomes a testament to God’s goodness. Join me on this journey of gratitude. Let’s celebrate the goodness that surrounds us, foster a sense of awe for life’s beauty, and embrace each day with a heart full of thanks.
Sis, let me remind you: you are not just passing through life waiting on permission—you are a builder.
God did not create you to stand on the sidelines and spectate while others shape culture, raise families in strength, launch businesses, or lead ministries. No, Queen—you are equipped, anointed, and assigned to build something that lasts.
“The wise woman builds her house…” – Proverbs 14:1
You’ve got the tools. You’ve got the vision. And you’ve got the favor of Heaven backing you.
But here’s the truth—many of us shrink back and play small. We second-guess our influence. We delay the project. We call it “waiting on God” when really, God is waiting on us to believe we’re more than bystanders.
Builders move with intention. They lay bricks even when no one applauds. They speak life even when the room is silent. They honor their homes, their gifts, their time—not because it’s easy, but because it’s purpose.
You are building when you:
Speak peace into your children
Show up to work with integrity
Pray over your home and make decisions that protect your peace
Launch that idea even though it scares you
Stop downplaying what God has given you. Bystanders watch. Builders worship through action.
So here’s your Divine Reminder: You are not just here to exist—you are here to establish. You are not just floating through—you are forming something. You are a Kingdom woman on assignment.
Let this be your declaration today: I am a builder. I lay every brick with vision, every word with wisdom, and every step in faith. I don’t wait for the world to validate what Heaven has already confirmed. I build for the Kingdom—on purpose, with purpose.
So, Sis—what are you building in this season?
Because watching time pass is not your birthright. Building legacy is.
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)
God extends a powerful invitation to us—one that encourages intimacy, boldness, and trust. He doesn’t ask us to come timidly, fearfully, or hesitantly. Instead, He says: Come boldly. Why? Because we are not approaching a throne of judgment, but a throne of grace.
In this sacred space, two things await us:
1. Mercy – God’s Compassion Toward Our Condition
When we come before God, we obtain mercy. Mercy is God’s tender compassion toward us. It’s His willingness to withhold the punishment we deserve and instead extend forgiveness, pity, and loving-kindness. Mercy meets us in our lowest moments—in our sin, our suffering, our weakness—and says, I see you, and I still love you.
Mercy says:
“I understand where you are.”
“I have compassion for what you’ve been through.”
“I forgive your mistakes and heal your wounds.”
Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us:
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning.”
This means we never run out of mercy. God’s compassion is not only available—it’s abundant and renewed daily.
2. Grace – God’s Empowerment for Our Journey
After we obtain mercy, we find grace to help in time of need. Grace is more than unmerited favor—it’s divine empowerment. It is the supernatural strength to endure, to overcome, and to fulfill what God has called us to do. Grace lifts us when we feel weak, equips us when we feel unqualified, and carries us when we cannot carry ourselves.
God doesn’t just show you kindness—He gives you power to endure and overcome.
2 Corinthians 12:9 declares:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
This means we don’t just receive sympathy for our struggle—we receive strategy and strength for the struggle. Grace doesn’t eliminate the process; it equips you to go through it with victory.
So how do we respond?
We come boldly—without shame, fear, or hesitation.
We come consistently—not just when things are good or bad, but as a lifestyle.
We come expectantly—knowing that God delights in responding to the cry of His children.
In summary: At the throne of grace, you receive:
Mercy for your past and present condition
Grace for your future and your fight
You are not alone. You are not helpless. You are not without hope.
God has opened the way—so draw near, ask boldly, and receive both His heart (mercy) and His hand (grace). He is ready to meet you where you are and empower you to walk through whatever lies ahead.
March is more than the beginning of Spring — it’s a celebration of legacy, leadership, and the limitless potential of women. Women’s History Month invites us to reflect on the voices that have shaped our past and the ones rising to shape our future.
Throughout history and Scripture, we see women whose Faith, courage, and resilience have changed the world. From Ruth’s loyalty, to Deborah’s wisdom, Esther’s bravery, and Mary’s surrender, each woman moved history forward not by striving, but by aligning with divine purpose.
And now — it’s your turn.
To the woman juggling dreams and deadlines, To the one healing while still showing up, To the one leading in boardrooms, classrooms, pulpits, or living rooms — You are a part of the story.
You are a living legacy.
Every prayer you whisper, every barrier you break, every act of love you give — it all matters. Your light makes room for others to rise. Your strength becomes the blueprint for someone else’s courage.
This month, stand tall in your identity. Remember that you are God’s masterpiece, crafted with intention, infused with purpose, and equipped to rise.
So, don’t shrink. Don’t second-guess your brilliance. Don’t apologize for being powerful, passionate, or prophetic.
Yesterday, the Lord placed a prophetic word in my spirit for each of my children, and as I shared with them, I was reminded of the power of hearing GOD for ourselves and speaking life into our families.
As parents, we are the first prophets in our children’s lives. We have the privilege and responsibility to declare GOD’s truth over them, to call forth their destiny, and to remind them of who they are in Christ.
I want to encourage each of you to take time in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit for a word concerning your children. Listen—He is always speaking. He will give you insight, wisdom, and even correction to guide them into His perfect will.
Declare over them: 🔹 Who they are in Christ 🔹 What GOD is saying about their future 🔹 Protection, wisdom, and favor over their lives
Even if they don’t fully understand or receive it in the moment, trust that GOD’s word never returns void (Isaiah 55:11).
Let’s be intentional about creating an atmosphere where our children can hear from GOD for themselves. Encourage them to pray, to listen, and to write down what they sense in their spirit. Their ears will be trained to hear Him as we model it for them.
Be bold. Speak life. Watch GOD move! Blessings365!
Love you all, and praying over each of your homes!
Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate you—the woman who nurtures, builds, creates, leads, and loves with a strength that only God could have placed within you. You are valuable beyond measure, worthy beyond words, and loved beyond comprehension.
You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
In a world that often tries to define your worth by appearance, accomplishments, or approval, God has already declared your worth immeasurable. Psalm 139:14 says:
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
You were created with intentionality—crafted by the hands of the Almighty, woven with divine purpose, and placed in this world for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).
You Are Chosen and Called
God sees beyond the titles, the struggles, and the expectations the world places on you. He calls you His daughter, His beloved, and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). No matter your past, present, or future, you have a calling that only you can fulfill.
You may wear many hats—mother, wife, sister, friend, leader, entrepreneur—but your greatest identity is in Christ. You are chosen. You are enough. You are empowered to make an impact.
You Carry Strength and Dignity
The Proverbs 31 woman is often seen as the ideal standard, but what makes her powerful is not just what she does, but who she is:
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. – Proverbs 31:25
You, too, are clothed with strength and dignity—not because of perfection, but because of God’s grace. He equips you to stand firm in faith, to rise when you fall, and to walk boldly in purpose.
You Are More Precious Than Rubies
Society may try to measure worth in beauty, productivity, or status, but God says:
“She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.” – Proverbs 3:15
Your value is not earned—it is God-given. You do not have to prove yourself to be worthy of love, respect, or purpose. You already are.
An Encouragement for Every Woman
Today, I want to remind you:
✨ You are seen. God knows your heart, your dreams, and your struggles. ✨ You are loved. His love is unwavering, unconditional, and unshakable. ✨ You are enough. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Him. ✨ You are capable. You were made for impact, and God has placed gifts within you for His glory.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, may you walk in confidence, embrace your purpose, and remember: you are a woman of worth—valuable, loved, and chosen by God.
Hello, beloved friends, it’s Dr. Carla! As we emerge from this incredible season of transformation, I feel an overwhelming sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. We are standing at the threshold of something new, something fresh, and it’s not just a new chapter—it’s a whole new volume of our story, written by the hands of the Creator.
We’ve come so far, haven’t we? The road of transformation wasn’t always easy, but it has been powerful. We’ve faced moments of challenge and reflection, embracing the changes that GOD has brought into our hearts, minds, and spirits. We’ve allowed The HOLY SPIRIT to renew us, stripping away the old and making space for the new. But now, as we look toward the future, we see the opportunity to do more than simply walk forward—we have the chance to redesign and recreate our lives, our families, our businesses, and our world with heavenly innovation.
Where We’ve Been: A Journey of Deep Transformation
In the months that have led us here, we’ve intentionally allowed GOD to reshape us. We’ve sought His guidance, leaned on His promises, and confronted areas in our lives that needed healing. Our spirits have been revived, and our minds have been renewed. We’ve discovered that true transformation doesn’t just touch the surface; it goes deep, reaching into our very core, bringing about a shift that only The HOLY SPIRIT can make.
Romans 12:2 tells us, Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life. And this transformation, this renewal, has been preparing us for what comes next.

GOD is the ultimate Creator, and as His children, we are made in His image. We are co-creators with Him, designed to bring forth life, hope, and purpose into the world around us. Now, it’s time to use our Godly imagination to redesign our lives. It’s time to think beyond what we’ve known and allow the Spirit to guide us into new visions of success, fulfillment, and influence.
What Does This Look Like?
Redesigning Our Lives: We are not bound by our past mistakes or limitations. With renewed minds, we can see ourselves as GOD sees us—whole, purposeful, and capable of achieving all that He has called us to do.

Redesigning Our Businesses: This is the time for innovation. With the guidance of The HOLY SPIRIT, we can rethink how we operate in our businesses, creating solutions that not only provide for us but also serve others. Let’s move away from old patterns and embrace new ideas that honor GOD and serve our communities.
Redesigning Our World: The world around us is in need of restoration, and we have a role to play. Our transformed lives have the power to influence and impact the world in ways we may not yet fully understand. As we allow GOD’s creativity to flow through us, we can bring about positive change in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities.
Empowered by The HOLY SPIRIT
Through it all, we are not walking this journey alone. We are empowered by The HOLY SPIRIT, who is guiding us, filling us with divine creativity, and giving us the wisdom and strength to bring about this change. Philippians 2:13 reminds us, For it is GOD who works in you and I to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose us. Our lives are not just about surviving—they are about thriving, creating, and innovating according to GOD’s plan.
Moving Forward with Expectancy
As we embrace this next season of life, let’s do so with hearts full of expectancy. GOD is doing something new in us and through us. It may feel unfamiliar, but it is precisely where we are meant to be. The transformation we’ve experienced has positioned us for the greatness that lies ahead. Let’s allow The HOLY SPIRIT to continue renewing and empowering us to redesign our futures with boldness, creativity, and purpose.
So, let’s take this moment, right here and now, to step fully into the new. Let’s trust in GOD’s ability to innovate, create, and transform our lives in ways that reflect His goodness, glory, and grace.
