POSTS STORIES REELS

I’ve wrestled with this topic/conversation for a long time. In many seasons of my life people have told me that I should share my love and relationship with God more. My right hand man, closest friend has been a consistent voice in my ear about this matter. I’m grateful that I have someone in my life who can call me out but can also be someone who I can be honest about the things that I struggle with.

Do I feel like there is a call on my life to share God’s word? Absolutely. Do I feel worthy of it? No. I understand the tricks of the enemy and how he can use those sentiments to keep you from doing God’s work. But I struggle like everyone else. I’ve hid behind my own desires and ambitions my entire life while feeling Holy Spirit tug at my heart to lean into my Calling. It feels uncomfortable for me to even type this honestly. Like “who do I think I am?” I’m no one special. A flawed man who loves Jesus and who was saved by His Blood and sacrifice. That’s what I know to be true. I made more mistakes than I care to admit and throughout that I have been redeemed and given a Peace and Joy that I still don’t quite understand. I see people struggle and I often think “If only they knew Jesus”

Now I have to question my current level of Faith and understanding of how God moves. Essentially what I feel is Fear. So do I truly believe that God will go before me and that it’s His Will? Or do I even believe that I am doing it in His Strength not my own? So much self reliance and fear still present. Clearly I am not fully trusting and surrendered to Him. FORGIVE ME. Thank you…. Now, Let’s see where I go from here. by @manny.lopez19

One of the most important things I’m learning in the early stages of building a business is humility.

You don’t have to know everything. You just have to be willing to admit what you don’t know—and learn from people who have already been where you’re trying to go.

Getting coaching isn’t a sign that you can’t figure it out on your own. It’s recognizing that experience has value, mistakes are expensive, and sometimes the fastest way forward is learning from someone who has already made them.

I’m still in the beginning stages of building Pillar HVAC. There’s a lot I’m learning, a lot I’m improving, and a long way to go.

And I’m good with that.

Stay humble. Stay coachable. Ask questions. Take correction. Apply what you learn.

You don’t need to have all the answers to start. You just need to be humble enough to keep learning.

Building brick by brick. 🧱

I didn’t walk through France… I levitated. 🇫🇷✨ by @manny.lopez19

I pray like my life depends on it because it does. I repeat “Stay connected to Vine” all day … Lord I don’t want to slip. Keep my mind and feet where they’re supposed to be. Thank you for choosing me, for calling me, for allowing me to do everything but Quit. I see how you use everything I’ve been through for your Glory… what an Honor. Either my chin will be held high because I am your Child and Masterpiece or bowed in Reverence and Thanksgiving. I never understood why you gave me a heart to serve but its more clear now. Remind me daily to submit to you a little lower… I’ve been a Warrior my whole life but now it feels good to be a Warrior for You. Love you, Lord. Amen. 🙏🏻🫶🏼 oh and forgive me for my transgressions and when i fall short of who you called me to be. 😅 ok thats it. 😤🦾 by @manny.lopez19

I ask her if the things I say sound crazy… These things I see in my mind and feel deeply in my heart. Most of the time I live out things I feel I already experienced. They were so real to me before actually happening. I used to be underwhelmed feeling like all these were regular and I was off envisioning the next. I can say these things come from God since everything does but who really knows. What I do know is that I choose to feel Gratitude more than any other emotion going forward. That return to Gratitude makes life so sweet. So Sweet. Thank you for the understanding… I pray to do the right thing along the way and serve YOU in the best capacity possible. Keep me strong … keep my heart right. Protect me from things I cannot see. Thank you God for the things I forget to mention. Thank you for 38… makes me think of 38th St. this one is going to be special. Amen. by @manny.lopez19

Thank you for the beautiful memories… Let’s keep winning and making more so we can forever say “Remember when we…” .. What’s next? by @manny.lopez19

“I just need your Obedience and Trust… I’ll give you the Strength” It took a lot to admit that deep down I did lose the belief that God has something BIG for me. Even as I type it I feel the resistance. I’m humbled by this revelation. I’m someone who often speaks boldly but I realize how disappointment has affected my Faith. As I sit with this I ask myself what do I do now? I’m sure God will provide opportunities for me to continue to exercise my faith and rebuild that Trust. With this understanding I will be even more intentional with how I move. I’ll continue releasing any limiting beliefs that I’ve allowed over the years. I’m beyond grateful for God’s presence in my life. How HE has restored so many areas of my life. That Gratitude fuels my desire to be of service and fulfill whatever Plans he has for me. I do know now that everything he does do THRU me is for others. I’m honored to do so. Whatever it looks like and however I must share it. This is what it looks like in this season of my life. Im interested to see what it looks like going forward. I pray that you can share this journey of Trusting God One More Time with me and we can talk about how good HE showed us it can be. Love you. Always praying for you. God bless 🙏🏼🫶🏼 by @manny.lopez19

I will never reget encouraging ppl to build a relationship with God. 🙏🏼🫶🏼🤞🏼 by @manny.lopez19

Most of the time I don’t really know what I am doing. A lot of Trial and Error and a good poker face (well I hope so lol) .. whenever I get called “Fearless” I chuckle inside. If only they knew how much of it I really feel. How the Losses seem to speak to me and try to box me in. I’ll never allow that tho. I know who I am. I didn’t sign up for pretty or easy.. only to live out my life fully and authentically. My Way. Ten Toes down and chin up…Con Dios Alante. When it’s all said and done I just want to be able to say “what a heck of an adventure” 🙏🏼🫶🏼🤞🏼 by @manny.lopez19

SURRENDER has been the common theme this year… letting go of my need to control it all and how it’s “supposed” to be. Of Mentally rehearsing outcomes and different plays as if I can Will my way to desired results. Saying I want something and finding temporary satisfaction in my ability to attain it as if it matters. Saying I’m a man of Faith but being rattled when things dont turn out the way I expect. I earned this SMILE the hard way… by challenging thought processes and conditioning that no longer served me, only my ego. By taking care of my heart, it felt good to do that. By hugging my inner child and telling him that he’s loved and he doesnt need to live up to any expectations. Just BE. By forgiving a thousand times and a thousand times more if need be. Mostly forgiving myself funny how that works. Reminding myself why I started.. the LOVE of my people thats what kept me going. I hope I can give you what you gave me in those moments I couldn’t see it. Love you for always. Pls never forget that. 🫶🏼🙏🏼 by @manny.lopez19
