For the past few months my husband and I have been dealing with some financial issues. Most of us know the drill. Cut back and cut out. Rebudget and readjust. But above all we know the stress and worry that comes with it. My husband and I have had conversations about the anxiety that the issue causes. God tell us not to worry about tomorrow and be anxious for nothing. Sometimes this is easier

Over the past few weeks I have been noticing a trend of intentionally good deeds going unrecognized.  I'll give an example. The first to pop in my mind would be a situation at work.  A coworker brought a scheduling issue to my attention.  He opted to work a particular holiday in order to receive another day off in exchange.  He had recently received a new

Mother's Day has never been one of my favorite holidays. Since I was young, my mom has been in and out of my life. Now that I'm grown, I can look back and know that the best gift she ever gave me and my brother was to give custody of us to my grandparents. There aren't enough words to describe the beauty of my grandmother's heart. I'll never forget doing 'boy stuff' with my grandfather and

So I'm sitting here kind of frustrated with a few different things. I have so many things streaming in my head I don't know where to start. I wish I could just put it all in this posting but I feel like I can't. It is for this reason (and some others, mainly time constraints) that I have not been writing lately. God knows my heart. I always find comfort and reassurance in Him. But what

The last few weeks have been a real struggle for me. Truth be told, the past few years haven’t been my best. When I write or speak to anyone, I don’t profess to have all the answers. I try to only speak on things that I have experienced in the hopes that my friends and family won’t make the same mistakes that I have. But lately it seems with every good word that comes out of my mouth, a mile of

Happy Birthday 30!Verse: Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NLT) ~ Enjoy prosperity while you can. But when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. That way you will realize that nothing is certain in this life.I don’t know too many people who are excited about turning the corner to 30’s door. It’s like some archaic rite of passage that taunts us until its arrival, and haunts us for some time

Since my last post alot has been going on.  Some trials and tribulations that left me a little blocked have now passed (praising God for always being there as my Guide and Comforter).  I also have been exploring some new avenues with my writing.  Now that I have started writing this blog and getting my creative juices flowing, God opened another door for me.  I

As I was studying Ezekiel 33 the Lord spoke to me and taught me a lesson about a situation I was in a few weeks ago.God made Ezekiel a watchman over the people of Israel. He was responsible for being the lookout and messenger to warn the people of impending events by blowing a trumpet. Those who take heed to the sound of the trumpet would live and those that did not would perish (vs. 4-5). But

The Word is filling in the belly and sweet as honey. It feeds the soul and the mouth tastes its nectar. The more we study the Scriptures, the more the pantries of our hearts and minds store for when more nourishment is needed.

We have all heard the old cliché of “Everything happens for a reason”. In fact, I have used this principle/verse as a teaching tool and as a comfort mechanism to my children and close friends. But oh my how it’s a different situation when you have to swallow a pill of your own medicine….

About me..... Where do I start? Alot of times we tend to define ourselves with our jobs, thinking that is what represents us. But I want to start this by saying that I am a child of God and a firm believer that Jesus is our Savior. That is the force that guides me and comes first and foremost in my daily life.

The enemy is attacking my time management plan. As hard as I try I can't seem to publish my posts when I intend to and there are always distractions when it's time to read or write.

I thought that the lives of others would be better off without me. My daughter always preferred to be with her grandmother and it seemed like my family never came to my place to see me.

I don't have anything formally written today just have some things and ideas I want to share.  Well first I'm trying to keep up with my new time management plans. My last post was actually published in the morning after my husband left for work. So far so good on that.  I have some other writings I'm working on as well.  Doing pretty good with my reading

Before I began my walk with Christ, people would try to get me to go to church and pray for me to "get saved". Though I appreciate and love them for their efforts, their approach just wasn't very inviting.  One of my pastors, Pastor Robert Roman posted this on FB.  It touched me and I wanted to share it with you.  This is one of the best invitations I've ever received.  Thank

Have you ever felt as if you need to withdraw from something or someone? Has something ever happened or something been said to you that made you want to totally go off? I've felt like this quite a bit, right now as a matter of fact. As I grow spiritually I am able to see what triggers certain emotions. I try really hard not to allow  these things to bother me.

I chose some verses to start off this New Year. I think they are great for those new in their walk with Christ and for those that may be well "versed" in the Bible. Personally I just find them refreshing and give me something to meditate on to keep me focused. "...I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly."

It wasn't my intention to start this site now.  I had it in my mind that the first post would run on New Years Day.  But the Spirit asked me, "What are you waiting for?".  My mind was saying, "WAIT!
