Doubt Not!

Choose to BELIEVE...Only!

Doubt Not! – Dr. India White

     Many times we want to believe in something incredible, whether a dream, a promise from God and more. However, we tend to have a small thought in our minds that will say, “Eh, I doubt it.” 
Doubt is defined as, “a feeling of uncertainty or a lack of conviction.” When we doubt, we are announcing to the world that we feel uncertain and uncomfortable with what we are trying to believe in. Doubt occurs whenever we are dealing with someone that is not credible. Someone who is a known liar, has little to no power or authority. Doubt is justified, because the person that claimed to fulfill something for us has lacked the worth of having trust. When we choose to doubt, we are saying that there is absolutely 100% no way that the person can achieve what they said they would. We have gathered our conclusion through their previous works listed on their resume, or in what others have told us about them. 

     Hence, when we choose to doubt, we are making a new decree that what we are believing for just won’t happen. Sometimes this decree is declared because of previous disappointments. However, I want to take time and remind you about God, and how God is more than able to fulfill his word for your life. 

When you trust in the word of God, and what he has spoken for your life, you will be consumed in hoping, watching for his word to come to pass.

There are several scriptures that can encourage you as you stand on the word of God. 
1. Jeremiah 32:37- Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
2. Luke 1: 45- And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.  
3. Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I can also reference several stories in the scripture in which God fulfilled his word, no matter the status of the person believing or the situation taking place.

For example, the Shunamite woman (2nd Kings 4: 8-37) was without God. The prophet of God revealed the word of the Lord. She even told him, “don’t lie to me Lord”, yet God still brought the word to pass and she was with child. The child even died, and was resurrected, and she walked away with her blessing. In spite of her unbelief and doubt, she still tasted of the promise. Doubt not; choose to believe.

Naman the leper in 2nd Kings 5 was not worthy to be cleansed. According to the law, lepers were to remain separated, never redeemed in society. Naman could have accepted his fate, however, his servant gave him a spark of hope, telling him about how God Almighty was more than able to heal and to make whole. As a result, he visited the prophet Elisha and followed instructions. Even though he was reluctant to obey, he was obedient and his skin was make whole. God can do anything, even if people deem you as unfit or unworthy to taste of a promise or a miracle. 

     The Syrophoenician woman spoke to the Lord about her requests. Even Jesus told her that she was not fit to partake of the meat of the children of God. She answered back in Matthew 15:27 in saying, “And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.” Her faith gave her a blessing that she was unfit for. She believed in miracles when she was not chosen to receive one

     The Lord Jesus even promised to fill the disciples and the 120 believers with his spirit as they tarried in Jerusalem. As a result, they were filled with his spirit (Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:38). Matter of fact, he is still fulfilling that same promise even today! (Acts 2:39)

     If God is truly no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11), then surely he can surpass all rules and regulations, and give you a promise and a miracle that should not go to you. Never hang your head in unbelief; choose to walk in faith and try God.

     His word says, “Prove me now…(Malachi 3:10)” So, put down doubt, and give God a try. You’ll be so glad that you did. 

     I’m grateful that God is not a man that he should lie and that his word is binding. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us that “He is more than able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think”, so give him a shot. 

     Let’s continue to move forward in hope and expectancy in this season as we believe God and obtain every promise in Jesus name!


Make a commitment today; Have no doubt.

For Families Considering Life Insurance Why families consider coverage Life insurance replaces income, pays off debt, and covers major expenses if a breadwinner passes away. It’s not just for parents—anyone with people who rely on them (or with co-signed debts) should consider it. My Recommended Type Term Life: Coverage for a set period (10, 20, 30 years). Typically the most coverage for the lowest cost. Great for income replacement during child-raising and mortgage years. Many families start with term life for immediate income protection,. So, How much coverage do we need? Common starting points (not advice, just general guidelines): 10–12× annual income for primary earners Add major debts (mortgage, loans) Add future goals (college support, childcare) Subtract existing coverage/savings A licensed agent can run a needs analysis customized to your budget and priorities. What affects your price? Age and health (younger/healthier = lower cost) Coverage amount & term length Tobacco use, driving record, hobbies, medications Policy riders (see below) Popular riders (optional add-ons) Accelerated Death Benefit: Access part of the benefit in certain serious illnesses. Waiver of Premium: Premiums waived if you become disabled (qualifying definitions apply). Child Rider: Low-cost coverage for children, sometimes convertible later. What to prepare for a quote Birth dates, basic medical history, medications Income, debts, current policies Beneficiary names and relationships Budget range you’re comfortable with monthly The application & underwriting process (what to expect) Needs analysis "te options (10–30 minutes). Application (online or paper). Underwriting: May include health questions, records, and occasionally a quick exam. Decision & policy delivery: Review, sign, and store digitally + physically. Annual check-in: Update beneficiaries, coverage fit, and affordability. Common pitfalls to avoid Waiting too long: Prices generally rise as you age. Underinsuring: Choosing a number that won’t truly cover income and debts. Overinsuring: Stretching beyond your budget and risking a lapse. “Set and forget”: Revisit coverage after major life changes (marriage, home, baby, new job). Quick Q&A Do stay-at-home parents need coverage? Usually yes—consider the cost to replace childcare and household management. What if we have life insurance at work? Great start, but it’s often not portable and may be too small. Many families add their own policy.

A Practical Path to Part-Time Income Through Financial Education—Plus a Guide to Getting Your Family Covered If you’re a teacher, school staff member, or busy parent looking for a values-aligned way to earn extra income, financial education can be a natural fit. One path is the role of a licensed life insurance agent—a part-time professional who helps families protect income, pay off debt, and build a basic financial safety net. This article has two parts: a clear look at the part-time agent opportunity (without naming any particular company), and a client guide to choosing life insurance for your family. Part 1: For Teachers & Families Exploring a Part-Time Agent Role What a life insurance agent actually does Educates families about risk protection, budgeting, debt payoff, and basic savings strategies. Assesses needs (income, dependents, debts, goals) and recommends suitable coverage, not one-size-fits-all. Guides applications and supports clients through underwriting and policy delivery. Provides service after the sale—beneficiary updates, coverage reviews, and life-event check-ins. Why this can fit educators and busy parents Flexible hours: Appointments can be evenings/weekends. Transferable skills: Listening, teaching, and explaining complex ideas simply. Mission-aligned: You’re already invested in families’ futures—this expands the support you can offer. What you’ll need to get started (U.S. overview) State license: Pre-licensing education, an exam, fingerprints/background check. Appointment with an insurer or agency: So you can offer approved products. Compliance training: Learn suitability rules, disclosures, and ethical standards. Mentorship & field training: Practice needs analyses and recommendation delivery. Tip: Avoid any platform that pressures you to “sell first, learn later” or makes income promises. Choose training that emphasizes education, compliance, and long-term client care. Time structure for a realistic part-time start (sample) 2–3 hrs/wk: Training (product, compliance, role-play). 2–4 hrs/wk: Client outreach and appointments (e.g., two 60–90 min sessions). 1 hr/wk: Follow-ups, paperwork, and service. Start small, then scale your calendar once your processes feel smooth. Ethics & guardrails (non-negotiables) Recommend coverage that fits the client’s budget and goals—never “sell to the max.” Disclose how you’re paid. Document needs, alternatives considered, and client decisions. Respect “not now” as an answer; offer a later review instead of pressure. Simple outreach language (use and adapt) Warm intro: “Hey [Name], I’m doing part-time financial education now—helping families set up affordable income protection and a plan for debt/savings. If it’s helpful, I can do a free 20-minute review and show options—no pressure at all.” Value close: “Whether you act now or later, you’ll walk away with a clear number for how much coverage your family would actually need.” Getting started checklist Identify your state’s licensing steps and fees. Choose an agency that offers mentorship, compliance support, and ongoing education. Create a simple “Financial Snapshot” form (income, debts, dependents, goals). Set office hours (even if it’s two evenings a week). Track all activity with a CRM or spreadsheet—consistency beats intensity.

Let’s Get Gritty: 5 G.R.I.T.-Powered Tips for Starting Off the School Year Right The start of the school year is a powerful moment; a fresh opportunity to set the tone, establish relationships, and lay the foundation for student success. This year, I encourage you to launch your classroom with G.R.I.T.: focusing on Growth mindset, Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Time Management. These four pillars don’t just help students succeed academically—they help you, the educator, lead with clarity, purpose, and confidence. Here are 5 actionable, GRIT-filled tips to kick off your school year strong: 1. Get to Know Your Students Every student comes with a unique story. Taking time to understand their learning styles, goals, and experiences shows them that they matter. This is where growth mindset comes alive—when we believe every student can improve and grow, no matter their starting point. GRIT Tip: Use icebreakers, interest surveys, or one-on-one chats to learn more about each student. Personal connections inspire engagement and persistence. 2. Speak to EVERY Parent or Guardian Strong home-school partnerships build trust and set the tone for collaboration. When parents feel seen and heard, they’re more likely to support and partner with you throughout the year. GRIT Tip: Make it a goal to connect with every family in the first two weeks with a positive phone call, email, or message. This builds your own self-efficacy and shows families that you’re invested in their child. 3. Connect with the Community Students are more resilient when they see how their learning connects to the real world. Whether it’s inviting local leaders to speak or organizing service projects, community connections bring relevance and depth to your teaching. GRIT Tip: Tap into the power of local culture and voices. When students see their community represented in learning, they build pride and purpose. 4. Know the Data Data isn’t just numbers; it’s a guide to help you make intentional decisions. Understanding your students’ strengths, gaps, and growth areas early on helps you manage time wisely and set personalized goals. GRIT Tip: Set aside weekly time to review data and make small, consistent adjustments. Empower students to track their own progress and celebrate wins, big or small. 5. Establish Norms for Success Your classroom culture will shape how students respond to challenges. Create norms that emphasize perseverance, responsibility, and mutual respect. Make these norms student-led and revisit them often. GRIT Tip: Let students help define what success looks like in your space. When expectations are clear and co-created, students feel ownership—and that builds resilience and self-efficacy. Final Thought: This school year, let’s lead with GRIT. Let’s build classrooms where students feel empowered to grow, bounce back, and believe in themselves. When we model G.R.I.T. as educators, we equip students with the tools they need to thrive in every area of life. Ready to bring G.R.I.T. to your school or district? I offer professional development, GRIT trainings for staff and students, keynote sessions, and engaging workshops to help you start strong and stay strong throughout the year. Let’s work together to build a G.R.I.T.-driven school culture!
