I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. – Philippians 3:12-14 MSG 2018 Review: A Lady in Transition As we enter into a new year it’s......

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope – Jeremiah 29:11 I went to a party (I mean event) the other day and ran into a girl I am Facebook friends with. Now, on social media, she appears super lively, very funny and even happy. When I was talking to her in person though, it was quite the opposite. I lowkey admired her positive outlook so it was difficult for me to reconcile the......

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? Matt 16:26 NLT How many times do you ask someone how they are doing, and they say “Busy”. It’s like a badge of honor! We live in a time where it’s almost a competition to see who can do the most. We seem to take pride in ripping and running the streets, waking up early after a late night, seeing who can hang out the most or longest, who......

For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by mischief – Proverbs 24:16 NKJV One thing I know for sure is that in this life, we will make mistakes. Another thing I know is that we cannot dwell on those mistakes, lest we continue to make them and/or fall into the pit of regret and fear. I learned this lesson best from playing sports. Thinking back to my volleyball days, I remember getting blocked often. See, I was a powerful front row player and......

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things – 1 Corinthians 13:11 Listening to my monthly audiobook, Don’t Settle For Safe by Sara Jakes Roberts, I picked up a nugget to share. Sarah describes how she felt growing up in a “stable home” and the lessons earned. If you aren’t familiar, Sara is the daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes. While being raised by two parents with her siblings, in what seemed like the ideal family structure,......

I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. Psalms 40:1-3 These days I often cringe when someone ask how I’m doing. Not because I’m depressed or unhappy but because I feel behind in my goals and purpose. You may be surprised by this but while it......

Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword – Matt 10:34 I have been tagged as not having patience but what I’ve come to learn about myself is that patience isn’t the issue. I actually have low tolerance for things like bullies, laziness, ignorance and people being rude and out of order. I am working to extend grace and mercy though because none of us are yet perfect. I know that God has definitely extended me much more grace and......
