It’s always an honor to be acknowledged among peers!! Thank you ♥️ . . Repost from @dabourneauthor • CELEBRATING BCF AUTHORS THE QUEEN OF BREAKTHROUGH FICTION — LaKisha Johnson, author of Christian Fiction writes from her heart. Over the course of her career, she’s won the 2018 Drunken Druid Book of the Year Award for her book, The Forgotten Wife, 2019 Top Shelf Christian Fiction Book of the Year for Dear God: Hear my Prayer, 2020 Distinguished Authors Guild Award for her book, I’m Not Crazy and was a 2020 TopShelf Women’s Fiction Finalist for her book, When the Vows Break. In addition to being a self-published author, she’s also a wife of 22 years, mother of 2, grandmother of 1, Asst. Pastor, Sr. Business Analyst, Devotional Blogger and more. She’s a college graduate with 2 Associate Degrees in IT and a Bachelor of Science in Bible.   LaKisha writes from the heart, and this is why she doesn’t take the credit for what God does.

Ask her and she’ll tell you, ”It’s not just writing, its ministry." . . . #bhm #blackhistorymonth #dearsis #blacklit #christianfiction #christianliterature #christianfictionbooks #UrbanChristianFiction #MemphisAuthor #BlackIndieAuthors #BlackIndieLove #AllAuthor #whatImreading #IndieAuthor #AAChristianFiction #shewritestruth #readwithus #ChristianAuthor #IndiePublishing #AfricanAmericanChristianFiction #LakishaJohnson #AuthorLakishaJohnson #blackgirlmagic #blackbookstagram #blackwomenauthors #blackwomanauthor #blackhistory365 #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CaHxSyHF5Ni/?utm_medium=tumblr

#DearSis You must prepare for the unexpected too. See, sometimes we find ourselves hurt because we’ve set unrealistic expectations. We expect people to treat us like we treat them, but what if they can’t. We expect forever with Bae, but he/she can’t give that because nothing or no one lasts forever. Sis, you must prepare for what you expect and be capable of handling what you don’t. It’s like expecting a check in the mail you’ve made plans for. But did you make plans in case the mail person is late or there’s a delay? Sometimes, expectations can fail. — Like, comment, tag, share and follow — . . . . #60secondvlog #blacksistermagic #sisters #gimmesometruth #PreacHER #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #girlpower #girlhustler #girlbossquotes #60seconddevotional #60secondencouragement #LakishaJohnson #AuthorLakisha #sistersquad #Luke145 #empoweredwomen #hersuccess #Sis #girlbosstribe #Sisterssupportingsisters #Redeemed #DearSister #Expecations #ecclesiastes3 #whatdoyouexpect https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLZgCLF-av/?utm_medium=tumblr

#DearSis You made the mistake … NOW WHAT? You’re allowing the mistakes you’ve made to keep you stagnant. Baby, whether you’re stagnant or working, your mistake is still your mistake. Look, I’ve made mistakes I wish I didn’t and for a long time, I ran from God’s call on my life because I was ashamed. Truth is, I felt too filthy to be used. Then I thought if flesh could use me with consequences, why wouldn’t I allow God to use me with grace. Sis, get up. The mistakes can’t get erased, but you can rewrite your present. Get up sis, there’s purpose waiting. Sis, get up, businesses are waiting on you to start. Sis, get up because you’ve waited long enough.

#DearSis It’s not the money, it’s the mindset that makes us prosperous. Look, you can go from making $10 to $100 and still be broke and struggling to survive UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND. When you change your mind, your language changes. Old you … I’m broke New you … I’m temporarily out of funds Old you … I can’t afford that New you … It’s not my time Old you … receive a no, defeated New you … delay is not denied I told God, just the other day when I found myself feeling defeated over book sales. “God, you gave me the gift, you’ll give me the grace too.” Baby, I’m no longer worrying. I’ve decided to handle the writing, while God handles the sales. And while I wait, I already call myself a black, millionaire-making author from Memphis, TN because it’s coming. Then my tag line will be “Naw, I ain’t bougie, I’m blessed.” 😛 Mane, I’ve already declared myself prosperous. Change your mind sis and see if your life won’t change.

#DearSis You’re going through something, being accused of some stuff you didn’t do, lied on, name being drug through the mud, reputation in question and you feel the need to defend yourself. Every day you get up to prove your innocence. Baby, why don’t you let your lawyer who’s already on retainer do the work? Your lawyer, God, has never lost a case. I mean, what’s the sense of serving a God you won’t use when times get hard. What’s the sense of not utilizing a God who has the power and will defend your honor? Yes, I know it hurts to be turned and lied on by folk you thought you could trust, but when you try to do it on your own, you take the matter from God. Sis, worship. Why? Because when you worship, even in the storm, you’re calling in reinforcement. When you worship when you’re falsely accused, your using your one phone call for help. When you worship, you call the force of Heaven to work on your behalf. Sis, worship. Because while you worship, God is working. — Like, comment, tag, share and follow — . . . . #worship #worshipwednesday #powerofworship #60secondvlog #blacksistermagic #sisters #gimmesometruth #PreacHER #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #girlpower #worshiphealedme #girlbossquotes #60seconddevotional #60secondencouragement #LakishaJohnson #AuthorLakisha #sistersquad #Luke145 #empoweringwomen #Sis #worshipsavedme #Sisterssupportingsisters #Redeemed #DearSister https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaWX1vFb0j/?utm_medium=tumblr

#DearSis Y’all still falling for life coaches who shouldn’t be coaching anything, huh? Y’all still investing in masterclasses of people who ain’t mastered nothing in real life, huh? Still taking advice from folk who aren’t taking the advice themselves, huh? Then you get mad at God because your seed hasn’t returned in your favor. Baby, it isn’t God, it’s you. Ask for receipts!! Running a credit repair business? Cool, show me your credit score. Offering masterclasses on how to bring in $10K monthly. Cool, show me your bank balance. Life coach? Cool, congratulations. How’s your life off social media? Marriage retreat? Cool. Where yo husband and how long have y’all been married? You got a class on prophecy? Cool. How long have you been in ministry? Naw, I’m not trying to embarrass you, but I need to know if you’ve taken the class and the advice you’re giving. And if you’re real, you won’t be offended. Stop feeling guilty because you’ve asked for poof. Run me them receipts playa! — Like, comment, tag, share and follow — . . . . #60secondvlog #blacksistermagic #sisters #gimmesometruth #PreacHER #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #girlpower #girlhustler #girlbossquotes #60seconddevotional #60secondencouragement #LakishaJohnson #AuthorLakisha #sistersquad #Luke145 #empoweredwomen #hersuccess #Sis #girlbosstribe #Sisterssupportingsisters #Redeemed #DearSister #Checkthereceipt #runmethereceipts #Receipts https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXnMfYFHQj/?utm_medium=tumblr
