One thing you should know about me is that I am an avowed, card-carrying hip-hop head.

OutKast was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and one of my top five lyricists, André 3 Stacks, shared something so poignant as he humbly reflected on their journey:

“We started in little rooms.”

Great things start in little rooms.

Today, as I think back over my journey, I’m grateful for the little rooms I’ve been in and the ones I’m in now. As I share this with you, I’m really encouraging myself to appreciate those little rooms.

It is written in Zechariah 4:10: Do not despise small beginnings.

Just trying to encourage myself this morning. I hope this blesses you.

New followers and connections, lets goo!
