Born the 11th child to Walter Demus & The Late Oglatha McLaughlin biologically The Late Charles Hall & The Late Oglatha McLaughlin, I’ve had my share of wasting time, putting other people and things before me, my needs, aspirations, and desires, procrastinating, starting and stopping things, ruined relationships, failed friendships, depressed etc. But I’ve reached a place in life of HAPPINESS and PEACE and VOWED to let know one disrupt it. I am 38 years old, Married, no children but have and still MOTHER Many. I just obtained a Master Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resource Management. I am heading back to school to obtain my Doctorate in the fall and am determined to go after everything I desire. Many wonder what’s next, sit and wait the best of Me hasn’t come forth. I have been writing for over 15 years, in recent months God has been tugging on my heart to get back at it (WRITING) He has something to say. Get to know me, hear my heart, and listen to what God is speaking in this hour through my writing. I Love You All Sincerely and I promise to keep GOING on this Journey called LIFE.

The LITTLE Girl In Me

Each of us have and or had something MISSING, BROKEN, and or HIDDEN inside of us. At times we result back to what we deem as a safe and comfortable place that we think protects us. I was watching the movie LITTLE, for Robyn growing up as a little girl was difficult, she was ridiculed, bullied, talked about, teased, etc. In being BROKEN she decided she didn’t like who she was and she wanted to be someone else, her parent’s told her you’re smart, so when you get older you can be anything you want including a BOSS CHICK because BOSSES don’t get BULLIED. In other words they do the bulling, but not Real HEALED Secure BOSSES. However, as she became an adult, a BOSS CHICK, rich, running her own business she hid that beautiful smile, compassion, and big heart by being mean, guarded, and tough, before anyone could bully the Little Girl in her ever again she decided she’d be the one to bully everyone she came in contact with. The Little Girl in her was BROKEN, the Boss in her was BROKEN, she was an adult that couldn’t fully trust, couldn’t open her heart to relationships there was something MISSING and HIDDEN that she had to eventually deal with. She acted out of Character and made everyone around her feel LITTLE to hide the PAIN she dealt with in her PAST that she brought into her NOW. She had to result back to a place of PAIN to be HEALED in order to function properly in her PURPOSE. BOSSES are not BULLIES, before we BOSS UP, let’s make sure the LITTLE Girl in us aren’t HIDING our Daddy Issues, Mommy Issues, Neglecting Child (ren) Issues, Rejection Issues, Trust Issues; aren’t still BROKEN from being ridiculed and bullied and aren’t MISSING out on relationships because we’re too scared to TRUST and LOVE again. What we use as protection is POISONING our POTENTIAL, STAGNATING our PROMISE and SUFFOCATING our PURPOSE.

PAUSE!!

What do you do when PROTECTING your HEART is really SUFFOCATING your PURPOSE?

Robyn had EVERYTHING she could dream of, but lived a life in FEAR from the PAST. She can not fully dive into purpose until she let go of the BROKEN little girl in her. She had it all but yet being BROKEN and GUARDED would cause us to MISS out on what GOD truly have for us. Here is a man wanting to LOVE all of her but the BROKEN Little Girl could not let him because of FEAR of being REJECTED. Women of God we have got to HEAL completely, We have to got to HEAL properly, We have got to HEAL, HEAL, HEAL, We have got to HEAL from the PAST! What’s Holding us is really What’s KILLING us. The Little Girl in us, the Petty Side, The Mean Streak, The Nobody can Check us Attitude, The Tough yet Sensitive Little Girl, The Sleeping around Girl, The Drinking Girl, The Stuck Girl, The Girl that let herself Go, etc. is Petty, Mean, Nasty, Tough, Guarded for a reason, to hide the PAIN. If we never get HEALED, we will live HIDDEN, BROKEN, MISSING Forever. If we never let anyone inside of our hearts know one would ever be able to help us reach our full potential until we come clean, be honest with ourselves and admit I NEED HELP. I’ve been operating as such for so long, I lash out because of the SUPPRESSED PAIN, I shut down because I’m afraid to TRUST; the FEAR of being REJECTED, RIDICULED, and HURT is still there but yet I operate like everything is alright. The Little Girl in Me is BROKEN, the Little Girl in Me have tried to be someone I’m not, the Little Girl in Me is HIDING the real ME, the Little in Me has to HEAL so that in my NOW (adulthood) I can fully operate without FEAR; but if again we never HEAL, if we never LET GO, we will continue to find ourselves in the same CYCLE, in the same PROCESS over and over again.

The Process only conditions us for what’s to come. If we never FACE it we won’t ever be able to EMBRACE it. Women of God we have got to deal with everything is us we keep SECRETIVE, we have got to deal with the UGLY part of us and it’s all a PROCESS.

Ever seen adults older than you, YES you that’s reading this act out of CHARACTER? NOTE THIS: There is an underling issue they have never dealt with as a LITTLE GIRL, so the Little Girl in them is starving, it has not matured, it has not been Mothered, Mentored or maybe even Fathered properly. The Little Girl struggles in her Heart, Mind, and Insecurities. Hence, why we can’t forgive folks who have done us wrong in our adulthood. Some you’ll see are Married, some are in Ministry, some have Children, some are now divorced, some are Boss Chicks, and some are just like Robyn RICH but UNHAPPY and BROKEN within. They can buy anything, they can have any Man and He too can see the BROKEN, GUARDED, TOUGH Little Girl that never dealt with her PAIN.

PAUSE!!

Aren’t You TIRED of being BROKEN, MEAN, EVIL, and NASTY? Aren’t you TIRED of HIDING? Aren’t you TIRED of MISSING out on the things God have for you? Aren’t you TIRED of just EXISTING?

If we as Women, especially us Women of God are not UPLIFTING one another, if we are not Loving one another for REAL there is an issue we must deal with quickly. The saying is true, HURT PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE! When we are BROKEN, we are unable to LOVE right, FORGIVE and we are not peaceful and secure within ourselves.

TIP:

God can ONLY use the REAL YOU! Be YOU, Be HEALED, and Be FREE!

Consistent Struggle

We Become

Welcome to Oglatha’s TIE (Truth, Inspiration, Empowerment). I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

I titled this “Consistent Struggle” because how committed are we to staying in a struggle we was never designed to stay in. We are suppose to be the PRODUCT of deliverance and freedom. We have become comfortable in the Consistent Struggles of Life when everything we need is right in front of us telling us to go back to school, apply for jobs we don’t qualify for, sign up for classes, get starting writing the book, go get our credit worked on, SAVE, stop settling, etc.

We have to stop being COMFORTABLE in the CONSISTENT STATE of BEING and doing enough to just get by and or being satisfied in the struggle, waiting for God to do something He’s already equipped and paved the way for us to do.

Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, season after season we PROCLAIM, DANCE, SHOUT, PRAY, YELL, etc. over the same CONSISTENT STRUGGLE without ever really UTILIZING the Gift God’s placed in us. God has already given us the GREEN LIGHT better yet He’s given us the tools, strategies, knowledge, and YES as He did David in 1 Samuel 30:8 “Pursue and Recover ALL.”

The question to pardon on:

Will You Stay CONSISTENTLY STRUGGLING?
