I am so very disappointed at how cheap and stuck this town is!! It really makes me want to move. I was having a conversation with a client today and we were talking about how Nashville and Atlanta have blown us away with growth. Even Chattanooga has built it's own fun little niche that brings people in and they have totally revamped their downtown. Atlanta used to be like our big sister...now she's like our Great Grandmother!! I don't like Atlanta really, have no desire to live there, but it is appealing when I am stuck in a '60's time warp of racial tension I wasn't even born for...get over it already?!! '80's time warp of bad hair and out of style clothes and a young generation who are in their 30's still trying to live in their teens and not doing anything fascinating or cool.
Where are the cool dives? Where are the good little restaurants that are open on Sundays...or that aren't so expensive that I would need a loan to take my family there? Why can places like Panera Bread stay open but little mom and pop stores struggle? AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I look so forward to the moments in New Orleans so that I can enjoy good food that is not a chain.
My vision is to create a salon like this town has not met...but I wonder if it could even handle it. I'm excited about the journey and can't wait to share moving forward with all those who want to journey with me!!! Come on future!!

Prophecy
Prophecy to me was something that the great faithful men did back in the old days. I was very disconnected from it's power with my Baptist background. I thought that it was only for the people in the old Testament, because really, other than Revelations, there is not any other example in the New Testament of prophecy, because the New Testament is the fulfilling of Old Testament prophecy. However, it does talk about people prophesying and how important it is to prophecy. But I am thankful to say, that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He does not change like shifting shadows and He still works everyday in huge ways!!
When I realized that I had prophetic wisdom was when my husband first told me that I was a prophetess. HAHA!! ME?? I laughed quite loudly (probably a little like Sarah did when she was told she would have a baby in her old age.;) Over the years, however, I have found out that J was right....and now I crave it!! I need it! I need that communication from the Lord and I need the constant encouragement. Part of my journey this year is to go deeper with prophecy. For the most part, so far, it's only been information for my family and for personal situations in my life. A few examples for those who may not know is that I was told that my new name would be Jordan, which is J's last name. I knew I would have a son and was to name him Hammuel before I even knew that I was pregnant. I knew that J wouldn't graduate at the Foundry, and it was because I got pregnant with Hammuel and he had been told that it was time to come home and take care of his family before he knew that I was pregnant I know that I will own this salon and I believe that we will have a daughter and we are to name her Rebeka Calvary. So these last 2 are current prophecies that I am still waiting to be carried out in our lives. I want the Lord to begin to open my gift wide!! I want to have prophetic wisdom to share with others and change their lives. My prayer, and if you will pray with me, is that He will blow this gift wide open for me!!

- Ac 2:17 -
- `AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, `THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
- It makes me want to scream I get so excited!! Looking forward to this journey!
- One lesson I have learned about prophecy is that the prophet only knows in part and things don't ever happen in our time when you are following the Lord because He has a greater plan in mind!!
