    If we strive for nothing, we will get it every time! Receiving and achieving what we are believing God for starts with making S.M.A.R.T.T. goals.

    Nothing just happens! In order to receive what you desire when you pray, there must be a desire and there must be prayer. What do you desire? What are you praying for in your life? What are you goals? Make sure goals are SMARTT goals! SMARTT is an acronym that stands for: SPECIFIC: A ...read more
