A journey of faith

My Journey of Faith My journey of faith began on March, 2009 in which Modern Miracles Magazine was born. At that time, it was an idea on a piece of paper.

As I began to spend more private time in prayer with the Lord, I also began to learn a great deal about myself and about God’s character. It seems as if when we are facing times of uncertainty that God will appeal to us even more. I knew that the time had come for me to press on and continue to pray God’s word over my life and over the place that I had inevitably reached – a street called “Crossroads”.

There were times in which I felt that I co-existed in two worlds that were constantly colliding with one another. There was my faith and total belief in what God was speaking to my heart to do concerning my dreams versus the situations that were staring at me in my face every day. Then I realized that there was a gift that was inside of me and that there was something amazing that I was supposed to do with it. As Christians, the special gifts and talents that God has granted to us are for a special purpose and calling. In starting my own publication in early 2009, I had three major tools to work with: I had faith, the Word of God and a computer! Although at times I felt as if no one really believed in me or my vision for starting a publication, I knew that quitting was never an option. It was my determination and drive that kept me going.

First, I had to encourage myself every day and hope against hope. I prayed every day, walked and meditated so that I may receive wisdom and high revelation on what my next step should be. The wisdom started to come as I began to formulate my business ideas. As I look back at those times and in reflecting on our premier issue being completed and published, I can honestly say that the manifestation of this publication is a miracle within itself. Despite the huge task that I was taking on in the very early days of starting my own magazine company, I have always been determined to make it a reality.

With all of the challenges and long hours involved in running a publication, God has always been present in the process as this vision was far too lofty for me to handle on my own. It has been the goodness and supernatural power of the Lord which has allowed me to connect to all of the various resources and individuals who have become a major part of Modern Miracles.

Today, Modern Miracles is more than just a magazine. It is a celebration of legendary leaders and distinguished figures worldwide. Our vision is to inspire readers through the powerful life stories and testimonies of the extraordinary women we feature on our covers. In addition, God has given me a vision to use this magazine company to help others by opening up the pages of our publication to individuals from all walks of life by publishing editorials on aspiring writers, business executives and entrepreneurs. It is my genuine desire to display the gifts, talents and business expertise of the most cultural and diverse women in the United States by featuring them in our magazine.

So yes, I have definitely come a long way from those Starbucks and coffee shop days in which Modern Miracles Magazine was simply an afternoon of Vanilla Lattes and notebooks filled with business ideas. And yes, it was quite a journey of faith. However, I am here to tell you that faith does work. Here are the two things that I leave with you -- You must remember to always believe in yourself and most importantly you have to believe in God and in His beautiful promises.
