Take out the Trash this Holiday

Happy Christmas Eve Everyone! I hope this message finds you well. I bet the title probably struck you as peculiar, but it is truly necessary. This morning I woke up with nothing but thanksgiving in my heart. God has done amazing things in my life, as I’m sure you can relate. He is no respecter of persons […]

Show Someone You Care Today

There is truly a time to cry, a time to pray, a time to let go…the scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 is so true. Each of us have gone through seasons in our lives that encompassed those moments. Sometimes those seasons may seem unbearable or longer than we would have preferred. Lifting each other up and […]

Don’t Look Back. Don’t Be Moved

A couple weeks ago I was preparing to go to church when I received a work request that I had to stop and handle. Needless to say, the request took some time and caused me to run behind. I became frustrated and part of me wanted to stay home because I didn’t want to be […]

Held to a Higher Standard

Have you ever become weary in doing what is right? Seeing others getting by (or from what you can see) with sinful behaviors (I’m sorry I have to call it what it is…remember a sin is engaging in anything that God tells us not to do), and thinking for a moment about giving into your […]

Decisions

Giving honor and praise to God for coming up on the one year anniversary of this blog site. If you have not read my About the Blogger page, then let me tell you this site was birthed specifically after praying to God about what He wanted me to do next with my gift of writing. […]

Do You Still Believe?

Do you remember the song Say Yes by Michelle Williams featuring Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland? As I was riding in my car this past weekend, this song started to play. I had completely forgotten about this CD in my disc changer, but I immediately became inspired by the words and started to praise God. Do […]

There’s Power in Going to the House of God

I have heard so people say they don’t need to go to church, or they can watch church on television. I’m not shunning anyone who chooses to watch sermons on television. I enjoy Christian networks and several television programs myself. This blog is not about that…who I am speaking to is the person who has […]

Brokenness

Sometimes in life we cause our own pain (e.g., we stay at a place or with someone longer than we should, we ignore God’s warnings, we hold on to something longer than we should, etc.), but what happens when someone else’s brokenness or lack of responsibility falls upon you? What are you supposed to do? […]

Who are you going to believe…God or man?

When you are tested, who do you believe…God or man? I previously listened to a sermon, which was very powerful, where the minister said sometimes believers walk around like folks with No Hope. Why is this the case, though? Is it because deep down the person believes God will supply all their needs, but truly […]

Do you know what time it is?

Greetings everyone! I pray this post finds you all well. Do you know what time it is? In Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes, the title in NIV is A Time for Everything. Verses 1-8 says: 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be […]

You are my strength

Hello everyone. I pray that this blog post finds you well. I recently learned some sad news about my friend’s dad this week. It was at that moment I was reminded that we have all experienced challenges in life that may be heart-wrenching. Your situation may not be mine and mine may not be yours, […]

Passing the test before moving on to the next level

I was listening to a sermon on the radio this past Saturday and the pastor made a profound statement that I had to write on this week. He said teachers may pass you along in school, but God will not until you learn the lesson He is trying to show you. How many of you […]

You are not alone

You are not alone. We cannot get caught up on what we see on the outside. You may think you are alone in your situation and that no one around you understands, but I can assure you that is not the case. I was talking to someone this past weekend and she was happy about […]

Taking care of the Spiritual Man not just the Physical Body

What would happen if you tried to start your car without any gas in it? How far would you get on fumes? Would you make it out of your driveway, down the street, or to your final destination? This may be a common sense question, but really how many of us do this daily? We […]

HALT

HALT Have you ever been in a place where you felt hungry, angry, lonely, and tired? HALT. If you’re not familiar with this term, the acronym stands for the following: H – Hungry A – Angry L – Lonely T – Tired. If I may be honest, I was feeling this way this week, i.e., […]
