Speak Life with Brandy, LLC
The mission of Speak Life is to build confidence, empower, encourage and enlighten young ladies to think and speak positive thoughts and words.
๐บ In conversation with my mentor on Sunday, I realized that I'm at a standstill in my calling. I've been given vision and instruction but have yet to move.
๐๐๐ I prayed on Monday and asked God help me get back on track. God revealed to me that sometimes we need to encourage ourselves. ๐๐๐
With that being said here is a little assignment God gave me. It's pretty simple but over the next few days I will share my journaling as I REFLECT, REFOCUS, RESET, and Remind myself that what's to come is even better than what's been....So keep pushing!!๐ค
In times like these, with all that's going on, it's impossible to block the worry, stress, and anxiety. Perhaps if we think of the good God has done for us and those around us we may find comfort. ๐บ
๐ Dear Heavenly Father, help us to keep our minds rested in your promise ๐ฅ
Happy Saturday! I pray you all are having a lovely weekend. So it's time for SLWB Saturday drawing ๐๐ฟ๐ฅ
Now is the time to stay FOCUSED & PUSH!! What are some things you are focused on during this time? ๐ Share in the comments below to be placed in a drawing for a SLWB gift ๐
I'll start, I'm focused on a number of things to include being aware of how much money I'm spending vs. saving, being physically healthy, researching schools for my BSN, and overall personal growth on my spiritual journey. ๐ฅฐ Let's push together.
Hey girl!!! It's been a minute, I know. ๐
๐ Just wanted to stop by and remind you that God has a plan and purpose for your LIFE. What you are experiencing right now is a setup for your Future.....Something you've been praying for...
Success...Joy...Peace...Health and Happiness. ๐ฅ It's yours sis! Trust God and trust the process.
๐ James 1: 2-4 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Hold on girl, you got this! Find joy in knowing the best is yet to come. ๐๐ฟ
๐ข Hey Sis, don't spend one more day in fear, anxiety, doubt, or self-pity. ๐ Smile and declare freedom from negative thoughts and unwanted baggage holding you down. Lift your eyes to the Lord, He will watch over you. Walk on girl, freedom looks good on you!! โค
๐ "I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slipโ he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over youโthe Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harmโhe will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."
Psalm 121:1-8
๐ Today is a nice day to highlight a beautiful soul for God has truly kept her through some "stuff". As she comes up on her 1 year major neurosurgery anniversary, she shared some things God has set her free from. She has a powerful testimony and will be sharing at the next conference. In her own words she says:
" Girl...each time you add a little more faith, it just gets better and better. The hardest times of my life including surgery last year really opened up my perspective with my faith and how I deal with uncertainties and situations now"....โค
๐ Sisters, God did it for my bestie, please trust and believe He will set you free too. Remember, God will watch over your life! Just look to the hills.
๐บ WALK ON GIRL, FREEDOM LOOKS GOOD ON YOUโฃ
๐ญ๐ฝ Also, as this concludes the first set of Affirmations, I must take the time to thank this same sweet little soul for encouraging me to do more with Speak Life this year besides the annual conference. Just about two months ago she sent me a DM on the SLWB page and the message simply said: "Hi Speak Life with Brandy! Can we get some daily or weekly encouraging posts and Affirmations ๐?" That was in January, I started the weekly posting the 1st week of Feb. Thank you sis for the encouragement. ๐ If this assignment reached one soul, Glory to His name!!
๐ข Today is a great day to show gratitude, to be thankful for all God has done for you. I don't know about you but when I think about the goodness of Jesus and all He's done for me, my soul CRIES out HALLELUJAH ๐
โฃI show gratitude!
โฃGod is my help!
โฃI am thankful!
๐"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is Godโs will for you in Christ Jesus"
(1 THESSALONIANS 5:18)
๐ฅบ Ever since a child, I have imagined what life is like for people who dont know or choose not to have God in their lives. The vision of that sad soul has yet to change. I imagine someone alone in a field with nothing surrounding them but grass. Nothing in front of them, nothing to the sides and nothing behind them; no help, no happiness and no direction......I simply can't imagine my own life without God.
๐ Today, let's take a moment to thank God for everything. Even if you're going through something, let's stop and give God praise because even in difficult times, he is worthy.
๐ A prayer of thankfulness:
God, at this very moment we want to thank you and give you praise. Thank you for holding every bit of our lives in your hands. Thank you for your love. Thank you for our health, our strength, safety, and a sound mind. Thank you for ALWAYS being available and listening to our every cry. Thank you for being faithful. Without you, nothing is possible but with you, all things are possible. Thank you God for everything we've been through that has helped us become stronger and wiser. In all circumstances we give thanks for you are God..Thank you for the gift you have individually given us and help us to use it accordingly...Amen๐ค
๐ข Are you performing at your GREATEST POTENTIAL? It's time to give your life all you have to giveโผ It's time to push yourself to your greatest POTENTIALโผ You are God's Girlโผ Stop thinking small and think like the queen you areโผ GIRL, God is within youโผ God will help youโผ You will not fallโผ
๐ The bible says: "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day" (Psalm 46:5 NIV)
๐ I AM GOD'S GIRL
๐ GOD IS MY HELP
๐ I WON'T FALL
๐ Hi, it's me Brandy, the underachiever, the girl who "lays low", the girl who never volunteers to do anything but will be obedient if asked to. Yep, that's me. Now I am truly grateful for who I am, however I know I have so much more to give.
My fear is Failure. What's yours? No matter what you fear just know these facts:
๐ With God all things are possible (Philippians 4:17)
&
๐ What is impossible with man is possible with God (Luke 18:27)
๐ With Prayer, Persistence and Positive Thinking, all things are possible. God help us to not fear failure but trust your word and know you are within us and we won't fall. Help us to be confident and perform at our great potential โค

Speak Life with Brandy is currently on a mission to reach some beautiful young queens. If you know of any girls (Target age 11-17) who may be interested in weekly encouragement and uplifting words please point them in this direction.
๐ข Ever felt like you're a good person, you try to always do the right thing, you try to always push hard, and still you haven't recieved the "one thing" you've been praying for?
๐ The bible says: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up".
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
๐ I AM FAITHFUL
๐ I TRUST GOD
๐ I BELIEVE HE WILL
๐ God is INTENTIONAL. If you're in a WAITING SEASON, it's all in GOD'S PLAN.
Whatever you're praying for, keep praying. In GOD'S PERFECT TIMING, YOU WILL NOT ONLY RECEIVE WHAT YOU PRAYED FOR BUT SO MUCH MORE!
๐ I thank God for my struggles and waiting seasons. I once had a double whammy that turned my whole life upside down. That season actually transformed me into the person I am today. I learned to be patient and trust God. My faith in God became stronger than ever. I didn't give up and in time God not only blessed me with what I prayed for but He also touched my mind and heart.โค
๐ Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord.
When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. (Romans 12:11-12 NIRV)
๐Continue to be FAITHFUL. Continue to be OBEDIENT. Continue to PRAY. Continue to PRAISE GOD. Continue to do GOD'S WORK. Be a FAITH WALKER. In God's perfect timing, He will pour out blessings and you won't have room enough to receive itโผ
๐ข GOD WILL NOT GIVE YOU A VISION WITHOUT PROVISION โผStop worrying about "How", Just move....You are COVERED.
๐ PROVISION: (Verb: To provide necessary supplies especially for a journey)
๐ The bible says: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.โ Joshua 1:9
โค I AM COURAGEOUS
๐งก I AM COVERED
๐ I AM BLESSED WITH ALL I NEED
For as long as I can remember, my sister has always talked about her vision of owning a particular business. She has shared her thoughts and dreams many times. Her love and passion for it is evident. Unfortunately, with obstacles, losses, and setbacks, her dream faded over the years.
Recently she decided to step out on Faith knowing that what is impossible with man is possible with God. Well, let me tell you what God did for my sister. GOD BLESSED HER WITH ALL THE ESSENTIAL THINGS NEEDED TO START HER BUSINESSโผShe didn't have to search long. GOD made it very clear to her that every single thing needed for this journey, He will provide. All she had to do was turn around, face forward, and MOVE.
๐ Her car was FILLED with items to start her journey but her heart was FILLED with JOY and GRATEFULNESS for God's PROVISION.
๐ A simple reminder that God is with you WHEREVER you go. ๐ God I thank you for covering my sister and blessing her with the resources needed to walk in her purpose. I pray a special prayer for her and what's to come for this is only the beginning of wonderful and great things.
๐ข If He did it for her, He can do it for you.
You've got all you need on your journey if you have God. You are COVERED โฃ
๐ In 2011, he proposed and told me he wanted a child so I threw away the birth control. In 2012, I found myself pregnant and cancelling the wedding..........
๐ Are you waiting, hoping, and praying God will send love your way? Perhaps Love has always been amongst you but you haven't stopped to recognize itโผ
๐ The bible says: "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. GOD IS LOVE. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1 John 4:16 (NIV)
โฃGOD LOVES ME
โฃI LOVE GOD
โฃI LOVE MYSELF
โฃI LOVE OTHERS
God is the single most precious, sweetest, caring, loving, gift we could have. Today is a great day to accept GOD'S LOVE ๐
๐ข I absolutely love this verse because for a brief time in my life I started to stray away from God and started to rely on an individual. I'm sure we're all guilty at some point, but it's ok because we learn and grow from what we go through. It's so clear to me now that during that time, life was "dark". There was no love in me, no love for the people around me, and surely I felt no love from anyone else. The opposite of what the scripture tells us because I was NOT relying on God's Love. The end result of that relationship left me pregnant for the second time and cancelling a wedding.
Once I started back praying and allowing God to order my steps and accepted
โคGod's Unconditional Loveโค,
He restored what I had lost.
God said to me...
๐BRANDY, everything that he gave you, I can give you that and MORE.
๐BRANDY, everything he did for you, I can do for you and MORE.
๐BRANDY, every dream you shared with him, I am the only one who can make them realityโผ
๐๐God, I thank you for loving me in spite of my imperfections, thank you for being patient with me, thank you for being merciful and gracious, and thank you for not giving up on me like I once did you. I cannot thank you enough. You are LOVE๐
Always pray before making decisions and ask God to lead the way.
๐ Has God ever called you to do something but when you did it, you felt you were a failure? Well dont be discouragedโผ
๐ For the bible says "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit- fruit that will last- and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you" John 15:16 (NIV)
I AM CHOSEN
I AM APPOINTED
I AM QUALIFIED
Today I'd like to share my reflection on the last conference I hosted. Before you read here is the key point and motivation for this week.
๐ข DO NOT FEAR OR DOUBT WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES, TRUST THE PROCESS, TRUST HIS WORD, REMEMBER GOD IS INTENTIONALโผ
๐ Reflection: I know God has called me to speak life into the lives of others. I know this is my true calling. With that being said, I was ready for Speak Life 2019. I knew that this year would be the best one yet! I felt that I had put the most effort, time, and money in this one. I had a website, online registration, and I even had merchandise for sale. I mean everything was thought out even down to the guest speakers who all had the same name. The conference was simply amazing but I felt like a failure simply because the conference room was not full and every seat wasn't occupied. I had so many questions for God. God, why was the crowd so few? God, why were 60 teen girls at the 2018 Conference along with 20 adults and this year there were only 5 teen girls and 15 adults. I mean God, I thought it was supposed to grow. I kept looking at the numbers over and over asking God why didn't the people who signed up online not even show. I was so disappointed and I even questioned God about my calling. I clearly remember standing with these awesome speakers for a photo and not feeling qualified to be next to them. I was so focused on numbers that I almost missed a life changing experience ๐
๐God said Brandy, I chose you!! What about the girls who were in attendance? One who needed to hear a word of encouragement from her sister who had a powerful testimony. A testimony that would touch her just before she threw in the towel. The adolescent who needed to hear from her sister that God created her and to know that what God says about her is far more valuable than what the world says. A message by taking her to the familiar bible story of Adam and Eve who hid behind trees after being ashamed of what they had done! Oh, what about the adolescent who needed to get up from her seat to find the most powerful and beautiful affirmations and actually match them with bible verses so she could see Gods wonderful promises.
Lord, as I lift my hands to praise you at this very moment, I thank you for choosing me and appointing me to have such an important task of holding events that will encourage teen girls and women to SPEAK LIFE AND WALK IN PURPOSEโผ Thank you God ๐๐ ๐ญโค
God said Brandy, EVERY person in attendance was blessed. God said be obedient and listen carefully to my instruction. You will see where I take you. .
Do not fear, do not second guess what God has called you to do. Keep pushing, Keep praying, keep believing โคโคโค

The Mission
Speak Life has a mission to build confidence, empower and encourage young ladies to think positive thoughts and enlighten them to speak positive words. I want girls to know that their tongue holds power. Proverbs 16:24 states, โPleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.โ There was a time in my life where I was helpless and hopeless, negativity surrounded me. I chose to declare victory and praised God in advance for shifting my struggle. We all have a story and my desire is to host events and conferences to share what God did for me and others. I am here to encourage young ladies to never give up, persevere and trust God knowing He has a purpose for your life.
โWith prayer, persistence and positive thinking, all things are possible.โ
