How to Love Someone You Do Not Like

What happens when your heart has become harden towards another person due to a circumstance and you find it hard to love the person in spite of their apology or lack thereof? There have been times in my life, thankfully not many, where I felt it hard to pray for another person because they had […]

Believe

When I thought of what to write about today, there was not one title that stood out, but many… As the end of 2019 draw near and welcome in a new year not already seen, there are things we can leave behind. In my past, I was the queen of holding my feelings in because […]

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 […]

Do Not Worry

Hello everyone! It is amazing how God reminds us of His Holy Word just when we need it. I recently traveled to Ontario, Canada to celebrate my birthday. It is a trip that I will always remember with beautiful sceneries. Well before I left home, I made sure everything was in order. Household duties still […]

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 […]

“Have It Your Way”

Does everything always have to be your way? I remember a former friend of mine who used to say that if the world thought like her it would be better off. This person had no problems projecting their views on me and became upset when I didn’t agree. I guess you can tell why I […]

Cast Your Cares

Have you ever developed an I don’t care attitude? Things just aren’t going as you would like, so you just throw your hands up in the air and say, “I don’t care!” Tired of waiting for your breakthrough or receiving bad news or dealing with this and dealing with that, so you just throw 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 […]

Just get back up…

While I was recently out for a jog, I passed a house where a woman was taking out her trash. We spoke as I passed by. She said she needed to be outside doing the same thing. I quickly told her I was getting back into the groove myself (I had been off my workout […]

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 Do You Trust?

My family and I went to see The Lion King on opening day. It was quite enjoyable with many applauds at the end of the movie. Though many have seen this storyline played out either on Broadway, in a cartoon, or on film, I couldn’t help but see the true life experience in the story […]
