It’s such a balancing act because ‘enjoying the journey’ sometimes conflicts with ‘focus on the finish’. The sermon I’m listening to after hearing you is called ‘comfort in the course’ by Pastor Keion Henderson. I am sure the joy of journeying is going to come up in it. I pray God continues to give me peace while I keep working on time Management. God is the Father of Time. We can trust the wisdom of God as we practice discernment. I pray this for all of us sisters. We can take on so much without realizing it! We are joining the inner circle Community, today.
I really appreciated this. I have written two books, one I had started in 2018. They are both edited and one already formatted and were just sitting there 🙈 Waiting for me to get it right I guess. Incidentally just last week I finally sat with a publisher, the thought of self-publishing now gone through the door and one finally sent to Dr. Cannings :) to hopefully now write the foreword after talking with him about it for years. I have been creating courses and other content that will also be released soon. Trusting God to cover all expenses and WILL BE FINISHED by January in the name of Jesus. There are people assigned to my voice who are waiting...🙏🏼
I’m on this journey now. Execution, discipline, and decisiveness. I’m excited about God still be interested in me enough to tug on my heart and guide me each day in becoming more of what He’s created me to be.
Mrs Chrystal OMG !! That's what i said to myself awhile back"why you start things and don't finish. wow.. You reopen my eyes on some things in my life. I just love listening to when i'm getting dress for work. I want to be able to make your retreat this year but i one day attend one of your retreats , You are so blessed in what you do . I Love your teaching
I really need this, this morning. Thank You, Chrystal! This gives me one week in September to wrap my mind around this and start my 90 days October 1st. Excited and scared! :)
My goodness, if this isn't timely. 🙏🏾👩🏾💻 Determined to finish the degree. Thank you Chrystal! God comtinues to use you to minister to us. Every time I started to feel condemnation of not yet finishing, you knocked out the thought. God had been nudging me to finish, this year. Fear was a big hindrance to completing what God has called me to do a 2nd time. 🙏🏾❤ Grateful for your heart for women and God's gentle reminders. The fact that I'm listening to this on 9/25 is a great motivator, 12/25 will be my target of a Christmas gift, of meeting a goal. The gift of dreams fulfilled.🎉 ❤ 📦 🙏🏾
I really like how you not only explained planning for the focused finished but mentioned accountability and action steps that get us also to preparation (a HUGE part of planning) I have always planned well but the execution sometimes falls apart because I’m not prepared, which I found out is actually part of planning so I actually haven’t been a COMPLETE planner. This was an EXCELLENT breakdown. Thank you so much, Chrystal.
Hi Chrystal! I want to complete my weight loss journey. One thing I started last week was drinking 64oz of water each day. This week I want to eat a healthy breakfast. My nutrition is typically my weakest point so this time I am trying to take it one step at a time. Thanks for the encouragement! ❤
I’m with you hun! My biggest issue is my sweet/dessert intake! Friday made one week of saying no to them for this week to be no to fast foods/convenience foods. We’ve got this! Keep planning for your finishes.
I can relate. After getting advice on this same journey, I was told its healthy for me to drink half my body weight in ounces. example if I was ..;). 200 pounds, I would drink 100 oz of water per day. cucumber water, lemon water and water. It did help me. Thanks for the reminder I lost but gain again. we can do it! @Tootsie782009
The sacrifice for finishing definitely needs to be worth it. I am a finisher but it costs me A LOT because along the way, I have to be okay with God changing my plans. Sometimes God will push my plans alllll the way back for God’s priority. He will say ‘not right now’ which makes it even harder to keep the ‘finish’ in mind cuz the temptation is to ignore that voice and push pass to get to the finish line. At a certain time, I had to be okay with not finishing (for a time). It ate me up but I tried to make sure it was t a distraction for the ‘on time God’. TRUST, hunty!! Then I jumped right back in it at an opportune time where I could see juggling what God wanted with what I had already planned …for a reason that made sense FOR ME and surely didn’t make sense to the timing nor to others at the time (because it looked like what it was: I was moving backwards to finish what I started and I had a lot of barriers tryna stop me). ‘But I finished tho’ 😂 that’s what I kept saying to alll the negative voices. It became my mantra 😊
Love you so much for discipling me in this way my Spiritual online Bestie :). I am on it. Glad today is my day off :) Can accomplish that one thing. Self Affirmation is on point. Elle.
I started a Business Launch (Challenge -of 3 days-) with an entire Zoom group who gave tools, outlines, instructions/website and live Q & A; all to build an online marketing business model. Well, all went well until, I had to quit/back out...YET AGAIN, I did NOT have enough disposable income to go further or to pay for the monthly subscriptions once the FREE Trials were over...so, this is the narrative. I have the motivation, skill and knowledge to DO the THING, but never have money to go forward. (Sorry so long of a comment 😕) I am so frustrated that there's always a wall in front of my face. P.S. YOU are amazing, gifted, blessed and I thank you because you help me as I watch your videos regularly ;)
The opening made me gasp, as I am literally getting dressed to go start yet another "thing" while having a few other "things" I haven't finished yet!🤯🙈😂
The Pomodoro technique? Never heard of it, but when you describe it, that's how I work at home. I take breaks to manage chores and watch RUclips videos like yours while I work.
I needed this! I am about to start a manager trainee program at work in November. After my employee review on Friday I felt deflated and questioned if I still wanted to go through the process. I am so glad I watched this video because it pushed me into a better mood and confirmed what I was hearing within. I have written a plan to finish the books I’ve started (5), to continue study for the customs brokerage exam (test is October 25th) I took it in April and did not pass I was discouraged however it is a requirement of the program which was part of the reason I committed, to explore how to be more inviting to questions/comments from colleagues. Thanks for sharing Chrystal ❤ developing my muscle 💪🏾
This was so on time for me, but all of your videos usually are. Thank you. I have started two projects, writing a prayer journal and a Bible study. I need to finish!! 🙏🏽
Good reminder for me. I was just asking God what am I to do with everything I have going on in my head. This is where I’ll start. I’ve already written it all down now I’ll get small goals for each one in my calendar. Thanks Chrystal 😊
The one thing that I decided to create (and boy did I need this talk at the beginning of the year) is a devotional planner. My next step will be finding my people!!!
This was an excellent Podcast Chrystal. At this juncture in the year, this is good insight for finishing well. The point that resonates with me most, is finishing so that I have no regrets. I also love the quote that a goal without a plan, is a wish. I have started many things and not finished. The clock is against me at this point, but I want to finish because I know I am capable of finishing well with God’s help.
Sounds like the Spirit said you needed to get it in. I’m excited about this one. Thanks for being obedient, sis! I wish I was going on this retreat. I’m in the middle of a state to state move or I would definitely be there. 🙏🏾Planning for next year!!
Mic drop 🎤! I am so grateful to have found your channel. I was just in the mist of procrastinating once more on an assignment designed to help me. But I have talked myself out of starting it so many times because the finish line seemed to be unobtainable or blurry. Your message spoke volumes to me and it made me feel like I am not the only one struggling in this area. Thank you Chrystal❤.
this was helpful because its many things I want to tackle but keep getting in the middle and something stops that, rather it becomes not as important or not. One thing has been redoing my license stopped bc of bills and I had a accident years ago and was afraid. My spiritual mother said once in conversation this is the year of you, its ringing in my ear today as you spoke. So I plan to look over the material and pray about with all thats on my plate, ask God how I can tackle that small task .
May God bless you for this reality encouraging words. Sometimes, we forget about commitment to finish what we have started and not realize the impact it does in our lives. An eye-opening words of wisdom. Thank you. Be blessed ❤❤
Please, please, please post when you earn your seminary degree. I started my masters in education in 2018. Stopped. Started again during COVID. Stopped. Now, I'm out of the school system, trying to determine what's next. I love the 90 day plan even though I now my goal will take longer. Thanks!
Chileeeee, I promise you are my online big sister!!! Move over Priscilla 😉I needed this entire talk. You are proof positive that God sees my struggles and RESPONDS! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you because I believe YOU have rescued me and hopefully SAVED my whole household!
This message was so very helpful, and I Thank You for it!! Fear has been my biggest issue. I have been trying to lose weight for a while now without success. I am going to set my goal, get my accountability partner, make a plan and get to moving. I really truly needed to see this video today. God ALWAYS gives us what we need exactly when we need it ❤
I love the energy bus. I think that's the last book I actually read all the way through. Girl, I swear you know my life😂 because your topics always hit me just like they should 😊
Great video!! I started a a book two years ago 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️. Controlling the Tongue by RT Kendall. I plan to finish it on or before Oct 15. I’m half way. I plan to divided the pages by day and set my end goal. Baby steps I AM A FINISHER!! 👏🏾
You pivot, you restart, you begin again. Life definitely is out here lifin' sometimes! But you can still move the needle in your life despite the unexpected.
Chrystal, I want you to hear me,by the grace of God,iam going to LOOSE weight, because of what I see that I can do it,and I want you to hold me accountable for it,you can say why now, it's a decision that has shown me that I can do it or fail trying.when I close my eyes in death it want be my not doing the things I can do to help me stay here until GOD is ready to take me with him.proceasstnation you call me out , Guess what I will get that done.my health means more than anything right and what ever needs to be done iam on it.Iam going to say this, show me the ropes to get where you see for me,iam not slow,you have everything I need just your guidance.pray what Iam saying make sense 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for taking the time to post Chrystal despite being on the road. That is a good example of what you're actually preaching.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Books, courses! I am committed to
Reading a chapter TODAY!
The Lord told me to write ✍️ a book. He gave me the title for the book. He have been telling me in the secret place to write ✍️ even if it's one chapter a day. I MUST DO IT!!!! He also told me to sew. He have given me favor with a Fabric Warehouse just blocks from my house. I have so much fabric, sewing machines and everything I need. He gave me the name of my business and even dreams of it. My Pastor preached a week ago about "The Parable of the Talents", Matthew 25:14-30 😮. This message did me in!!!!! Tonight, I will be writing and tomorrow, I will be doing sewing prepping. Thank you for the 🔥 and your words of encouragement and wisdom. God bless you ❤️
Thank you! I finished my master’s of education when I was 62 yrs old. Some asked why. We as women in Christ must be ready and equipped…..❤
Thanks for your testimony. I want to complete my Masters and is 58 years old. I can do it
That's amazing!
There is so much to start. I need to go back to school and completely finish losing weight.pleas pray with me. I can do it.
It’s such a balancing act because ‘enjoying the journey’ sometimes conflicts with ‘focus on the finish’.
The sermon I’m listening to after hearing you is called ‘comfort in the course’ by Pastor Keion Henderson. I am sure the joy of journeying is going to come up in it.
I pray God continues to give me peace while I keep working on time
Management. God is the Father of Time. We can trust the wisdom of God as we practice discernment. I pray this for all of us sisters. We can take on so much without realizing it!
We are joining the inner circle Community, today.

And the first day of school to return after many years :)

@@ChrystalHurst Thank you. I will use this...I am a Finisher 🙌🏼
Thank you, Chrystal! The holy spirit has been laying self-discipline in my spirit for weeks now. "I hear you Jesus" 😄 I need the muscle now.
Accountability!!!! Yessssss, EVERYTHING U SAID!!!!!!! U articulated that very well, Chrystal!!!
Your a phenomenal woman Chrystal! Thank for continuing to pour into all of us who show up to hear what God has given you to fill us with!
I’m on this journey now. Execution, discipline, and decisiveness. I’m excited about God still be interested in me enough to tug on my heart and guide me each day in becoming more of what He’s created me to be.
Focus on the 90 days, that is a good one. Congratulations on your dad Engagement
