LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER
B2B TIP:
Live your truth. The game is going to test you. Never fold! Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to Your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. Psalms 86:11 (NLT) What does it mean to live your truth? To live your truth means being your most truthful self. Society can largely influence us as individuals if we allow it to consume us. A lot of us spend our day-to-day lives living up to these expectations and definitions of how we should be or how we should act. These expectations and definitions can put you in a cycle of frustration and depression. Ultimately, most of those expectations are unrealistic or hindering to your “true self.” While others are looking inside themselves for guidance, believers can stand firm in the truth that God’s Word never changes. We all have a different path we must take and God’s plan is not the same for every person.In this issue, we talk to Chilli as she tells us how she lives her truth and how she gets back to the basics in her walk with Christ. Also, we caught up with two members of the 116 Clique, Tedashii and Wande, the first female emcee to sign on Reach Records. Each of them have unique stories of how they live their truth. I want to challenge you to spend less time focusing on what you could have by fully cherishing what you currently have in the present. Be proud of who you are and Live. Your. Truth. 4 JUNE 2019 BACK2BASICSMAG.COM
