On the 27th, I posted: We can focus on what we don't have or we can focus on what we do have. Life may not look the way we want, but we should love ourselves and appreciate the fact that we have been given one more day to get it together...one more day to make … Continue reading Thankful, Grateful & Truly Blessed
Today, I received a great reminder about the law of sacrifice while going over a John Maxwell book study with my team. In life, I will have to give up some things, places and people. I will have to walk away at times while some will walk away from me and some will be taken … Continue reading The Law of Sacrifice
Coming off of a turbulent weekend, I found myself in deep thought multiple times today. I had to pull myself from this deep sadness and I didn't know why. I wondered if Saturday's event had stirred up old emotions but it hadn't. After I wrote my blog yesterday, I was okay because I shared my … Continue reading God’s Plans
When I wrote the 1st blog about Divine Discomfort, I didn't realize that it was only the beginning of my discomfort. Lately, I have been under attack: my name and my character. You know, the kind of things that could potentially affect people's perception of who I am. I can remember sitting in my office … Continue reading Divine Discomfort, Pt. 2
The sermon: Tonight, I listened to a sermon on love and what it means. Condensed version: When you truly love the Lord and love others, you give your all. You give them so much more than bare minimum. You give your very best. You love at your maximum capacity.

People will talk about one another behind their backs yet will quickly tell the same person they talked about that they love … Continue reading Love is…
As the new year approached, I committed to growing deeper in my relationship with God; making stronger connections with fellow believers; sharing more and encouraging more; sharing my testimony; and believing deep down in my soul that greater is here. I will honestly tell you that trials & tribulations caused me to shy away at … Continue reading Late In the Midnight Hour…
Yesterday morning it was raining hard and I woke up at 4 am. I couldn't go back to sleep so I read the Bible then began to work. I got lost in work for 2 hours which put me behind. On top of everything my hair was "poofy" and giving me problems. I tossed my … Continue reading I Woke Up Like This…
Recently, I spoke up for a group of people/friends who felt they were mistreated by someone who I also considered a friend. I've done this all my life so speaking up to my friend shouldn't have been a problem, right? Wrong! When I speak, I am open, honest and respectful. However, I was not treated … Continue reading Divine Discomfort
1 Samuel 15:22 reminds us that the Lord delights in our obedience and it is better for us to obey than sacrifice. Over the past few years, I've noticed that many Christians start the year by fasting and praying for 21 days, 30 days and some even 40 days. That's awesome however, I have also … Continue reading To Fast or Not to Fast: Either Way, Obey!
