Let Me Encourage You, Sis… In the Waiting, Trust in the Lord.
Trust in the Lord, always. Our timing will always be of urgency. Of a “right-now” need. The “I just can’t take it anymore” feeling. When in despair and you can’t seem to find the strength to get up. When all you want to do is either get through the day un-noticed or find every way possible to not notice the day. You’re in the waiting. You know God is working things out… for your good…. for His glory. Wait on Him. Keep silent. Be still. Wait. On. Him. In Psalm 37, you see David in his waiting. Here’s my best to explain to you sis… You know exactly who you…

I’ve had some time researching the Hagar’s Story, praying for fresh revelation as to the true message behind her story, and of course, digging in deeper.

Happy New Year! 4 Lessons 2020 Taught Me for Year 2021
Happy New Year to you! Who else is excited as me to see 2020 out the door and welcome in 2021? But of course with caution. Last year, we all cheered on 2020 just as we did last night but who could’ve imagined what we were going to face. Together. We all know what 2020 brought upon and one thing for sure, we all involuntarily experienced a major shift in our lives. In one full swoop, our world was changed. Lives were suddenly lost, even the most closest and precious to us. Jobs suddenly lost or folks suddenly experiencing a loss of income. Formal school suddenly becoming not so formal.…
Reset, Refresh and Renew | 3 Biblical Principals To Welcome August In A Brand New Way
It’s August 2020! A time to RENEW as the end of this year rapidly approaches. Sometime during the latter part of July, and for no apparent reason, I started thinking about the month of August.

The Modern Day Idiot Box | When Screen Time Is Way Too Much For Children
Screen time & technology go hand in hand when it comes to children. Are children dumbing down by the use of unlimited technology? THE GOOD… Technology has rapidly evolved through the years. From beepers/pagers, to flip phones, to blackberry, to smartphone, to tablet, to pads, to smart watches… what else could these technology gurus introduce to us now that we can’t currently do with our personal handheld devices?

Girl Don’t Clap Back… Breathe
Now wait a second girl, don’t do it. Girl Don’t Clap Back! Friend, allow me to encourage you for a moment because I know you need to hear this.

Faith It Till You Make It and Keep PUSHing!
I woke up this morning hearing the word “Faith”. In my dream, I remember having a conversation with God asking Him for the “when”. When will the time come, God? What is there left for me to do that I haven’t done yet? Is there something I haven’t sought forgiveness on? Is there someone I haven’t forgiven? Where am I displeasing you, Lord?

Once you begin to understand purpose, you begin to see (faith) in a totally…
