Recently I have been coming across the instagram picture with the caption “My ultimate goal in life”. It’s a picture of a man bowed down getting his crown from Jesus. When I first saw it I loved it. It’s obvious, we all want to get to heaven. But as I thought about it, I became uneasy and challenged to take a good look in the mirror and ask myself “are you on the right path to make it”.

Some might say Kylie, what are you talking about your going to heaven girl just relax, but as I read scripture and various excerpts about how serious God is about me being serious, it really causes me to wonder, am I pleasing to God and am I'm on the right path? 

Matthew 7:21-23 has been on my heart heavy for the past few months. It reads, “Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.’ And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here.’ (MSG). This kept replaying in my head because I feel as if I'm a good person. I praise the Lord on Sundays, read my bible throughout the week, do right by others, and to think God could possibly say “Kylie I never knew you” shakes my soul.

So many of us do so many things “for Christ”, but do not really know Christ. You can tell by the way they act from the time they leave church to the time they arrive the next Sunday. John 14:15 says, "If you love me, show me by doing what I’ve told you” (MSG). How can I say I know and love God but my life is saying I love this world? Do you really think God is going to let you “do you” and run around like a reckless man/woman, then get to the gates and give you that crown? I don’t know about you but I'm not playing around with my salvation. My friend and I would joke around and say “people are going to get to the gate and Jesus is going to say ‘hol up hol up’ (wiz v.), but that’s the honest truth! I don’t know about you but I do not want to be one of those.

So you may be thinking well dang what must I do to really be saved. God simply wants us to obey his commandment, have faith, love our neighbor, and believe he is real. Of all that, obeying his word really is what I think separates us from entering eternal life. No matter if you give a million dollars away to charity and forgive those who wronged you, if you did not have a PERSONAL (intimate, distinct, individual, and unique) relationship with God, he is not having it at all. Don’t do it for the gram, don’t do it for the world, do it for Jesus. He wants to get to know you personally and you better wake up each day FIGHTING to get to know him so you can stand proud before him to get your crown and hear those words “Well done my good and faithful servant” (Matt 25:23). 

So for 2015 I challenge you to not focus so much on the goal, but focus on what you need to be doing NOW to ensure entry! God bless and see ya next year!

It’s so late I’m sorry, but I hope everyone had a happy Sunday. Anyway, I decided to try something new. 


I realize what an impact accepting God in my heart at a young age meant for me. I spoke about it in my book, but basically I was eight years only and my camp counselor asked me to say this special prayer. Once I said it, I began to cry! To me that meant God immediately entered my heart and he has been with me ever since. 


Many people know God but not personally. If you have any doubts or don’t really know if he is in your heart say this simple prayer and your life will forever be changed. Make sure you’re prepared and you’re ready, because God is ready to receive you! 

 "Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen." 


Love you and don’t forget to get my book from this site or email me at kyliestores@yahoo.com for more information.

All over social media from Thanksgiving until January 1st we begin to see these post addressing the fact that people are going to “shine in 2015”. “If you hate to see me shine in 2014 wait until 2015”, and “2014 was practice just watch what I do in 2015”, and on and on and on. People have been making posts about how they can’t wait until the new year to do this and that. I admit, I have plenty goals and hopes for the New Year, but this past week it hit me.. Why wait?

Why do I need to wait until 2015 to get serious about dropping 5lbs? Why wait to be a better friend, a better student, a better praying woman? It seems silly to me that I have to wait18 days to be a better me..Why can’t we start things NOW? I mean, if we’re going to be so powerful, let’s start today why wait? If we are going to start a business that’s going to be so jumpin’, why wait?

I was in the book of Acts this week, and Saul whose name was later turned into Paul was one of the churches biggest threat. In the beginning of Acts chapter 8, it describes how Saul approved of killings of Christians and basically how he would do anything to make sure the gospel was not preached. Chapter 9 rolls around and we see a “come to Jesus moment” for Saul. God basically goes and get Saul and ask him “Saul, why do you persecute me?” (vs4). Saul was blind for three days and he did not eat or drink anything at that time. God seen something valuable in Saul and sent someone to restore his sight physically and in the spiritual realm.  The word says (vs18). “IMMEDIATELY, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, (vs19) and after taking some food, he regained his strength”. Pause. Saul went from killing Christians in chapter 8 to being restored in chapter 9 and we are waiting for 2015 to get it right? No IMMEDIATELY his blindness went away so IMMEDIATELY we need to get moving on our God given assignments.

My favorite portion of the story comes in chapter 9 vs. 20 when it says “AT ONCE he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God”. Saul didn’t wait until he got two more meals in him. He didn’t wait until he went shopping, found a partner to do it with, or until the season changed his got on his mission AT ONCE, so what are we waiting for? Not only did God come get Paul, he restored him and gave him strength. You don’t need to wait until 2015 to make things happen. If God called you to do something, then he has prepared you right now in this moment and you need to move.

Ill close by saying twice this week  through two different sermons I heard God tell me basically he doesn’t need me to fulfill his assignment. You may be thinking dang that’s messed up God, but honestly it’s the truth. I’m not the only one that can blog and write daily prayers, he can call anyone on his bench to get in the game, BUT he loves me so much and wants it for me so bad he choose me like he choose Saul (Paul), and I would be doing myself a disservice if I wasted that opportunity because I thought the time wasn’t right. Plain and simple, dont wait until 2015 to move and do what God told you to, do it NOW and if you really want to be fresh I’ll give you until Monday, but for real it needs to happen with urgency!

I love you and I thank you for your support on my God given assignment and I speak favor into your life TODAY!.

Happy Sunday! I'm sooo happy you decided to read in on todays blog.

In Nursing School, one of my good friends and I would always talk about having a guy in our lives who would only qualified if they had the 3 C’s. We used to say hey 3C girl what you up to and it would be the funniest thing ever but we were so serious. We even wanted the 3C’s for ourselves! The 3 C’s were simple: CASH, CAREER, CRIB/CAR (4C’s in a wayJ). We would crack up eating lunch talking about how our guy friends just didn’t add up and were missing at least one C and it became our steady joke.

This past week after work I came home worn out and it hit me, I really just want PEACE in my life.  It hit me again, my PRAYER life needs to take off with urgency. Then for the third time it hit me and I called out to God, “I really want to stay on the right path so I can discover my life’s PURPOSE. Immediately I heard God say “you went from wanting the 3C’s for yourself and your guy friend to needing MY 3P’s for yourself”. I instantly knew I was going to share this revelation with you all.

I have a good career, my bank account looks pretty good, and I have a car/house. I have so many other things to be thankful for and it’s a beautiful life I live, but none of that matters if I have no peace on a daily basis. How happy am I going to be at a career if my soul is not at peace with it? How effective am I going to be if I cannot pray when my finances don’t add up to pay my bills? How am I going to change the world and be productive if I can’t stay on course with Gods purpose he has for my life? It’s simple…I won’t!

You can take away everything I have and if I have peace, a good prayer life, and zoned in purpose, I'm sure I will be fine. God and his virtues are the only things that matters when all these material things pass away. I don’t know about you, but I’ll take peace any day over a paycheck. If you feel that these possessions are more important then I urge you to pray to God about your motives. Maybe there is a root of something planted in your heart that needs to be plucked and you can only do that by prayer. Everyone wanders around aimlessly doing anything for a come-up and even if it results in some sort of success, their hearts are not at peace because they are doing things God never called them to do and they’re doing them with the wrong motives. It’s plain and clear they had no definite purpose and I never want to end my life not fulfilling what God truly put me here for!

I close to simply say I was JUST like you not too long ago wishing for my 3C’s and those 3C’s in a man. I thought they were important. God however, changed my heart and mind and now I'm looking forward to the 3P’s in my life because they will truly bring me to becoming and staying the woman God has called me to be. Stay focused and know that God only wants the very best for you and once you get right with him all that other stuff will come.

I love love love you and don’t forget if you have not already done so, get my book “God Set Me Up” today! You can purchase through PayPal off this site on the Store tab, or if you are in the Pittsburgh area just call me or DM me on instagram and I can bring one to you personally.
