God knows what is best for us. The fastest way is not always the best way.
Your relationships should add to your relationship with God, not take the place of it.
I found myself questioning everyone and everything around me. I felt like I was just thrown in the pit like Joseph. What do I do now? I felt betrayed by friends and setup by co workers. Sometimes we lose focus and then worry creeps in. We become fearful of what lies ahead. The plan we had for our life. You know, the plan where you had your career, husband and future all mapped out. Next thing you know. Bam!!! It didn’t happen. Now our thoughts become whittled with doubt. We begin questioning our purpose in life. We examine the choices we’ve made…
Imagine finding the perfect church home and finally feeling like you “belong” so to speak. Only to find six months later, you receive a collection notice from the church stating that if you fail to meet your past due balance and finacial obligations you will be removed from the church roster. You will no longer be considered as a member. According to Candance Petterson who spoke with ABC Action News The letter stated: Adults are mandated to contribute the following: Tithes/ Dues …
If God takes something out of your handsIf God takes something out of your hands, don’t think He’s punishing you. Sometimes He has to empty your hands, to receive something better., don’t think He’s punishing you. Sometimes He has to empty your hands, to receive something better.
“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). The other night, I was with a few friends I hadn’t seen in quite a while. One of them brought up an issue I’ve struggled with before but that he is struggling with now. I thought I had some wisdom for him, since I shared a similar experience. However, my wisdom didn’t seem to help him. I’m certain I know why. No one can tell another person what it’s like to know God or “see” God work in his or her life. I…
As a follower of Christ, you are called to speak Truth, which is the Word of God; and to speak the Gospel to non-believers. As Christians, amongst a Body of Christ, we are called to speak Truth to one another, to give encouragement, present accountability, but with love and kindness. These are all things that Christ did, and Christ spoke of, and therefore they are Truth. Let me tell you a story—I had a good friend that I had become very close to. However, I had failed in my calling—I had not spoken the Gospel to her and I had…
I was having dinner with some friends this weekend and we got into a deep converstion about the things we would do differently if given a chance. I listened to everyone share their thoughts and regrets. Then it was my turn. At first, my response was; “I wouldn’t change anything… Because everything I’ve been through is what made me the praying woman I am today.” but I was lying without even knowing it at that time. and upon further thinking…. I’ve realized that there are a few things that I try so hard to block out my memory and not even acknowledge about…
What the enemy uses to ruin us, God can use to bless us. Here are 3 ways to combat spiritual attacks…
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1-KJV Even though this has always been one of my favorite Bible verses, years went by before I realized the significance of the word “now” in the verse. Now is defined as at the present time or moment. So why is the word “now” so significant in this verse? Because it’s telling us that we need to be confident and believe that what we’re going through at the present time is going to change. We can’t rely on our past faith, or…

I was once told by my former boss at a previous company I was employed with “How you do anything is how you do everything”. When he told me this I didn’t quite understand the saying; he then proceeded to explain what that saying means. Once given the insight I took that saying and built my own model after it which is “Long as I have God first I shall never be Last”. No one said the walk would be easy, but as a follower of Christ I knew I would hit some bumps in the road. I work for a…
If you’re familiar with the story of Joseph, you know he didn’t have it easy. In Genesis 37, his jealous brothers threw him into a pit and left him to die, then thought better of it and sold him into slavery instead. He was taken to Egypt from his home in the land of Canaan. After a while, he thrived as the personal servant to the captain of Pharaoh’s guard, put in charge of the whole household. But when his master’s wife falsely accused Joseph of trying to seduce her, Joseph was thrown into prison. In prison, Joseph again became…
God has the power to turn your situation around. You just have to keep your faith through the process.
The goal is to remember in darkness what God showed you in the light.
In the summer of 2011 I found myself unemployed. Having had a job since I was fifteen years old, it felt completely surreal that I did not have consistent income. Immediately, I spruced up my resume and began job hunting. I had two degrees, connections, and charisma. It seemed only logical that hiring managers would flood my inbox in no time. A couple of weeks of not hearing from anyone turned into a few months. Follow up emails, calling HR professionals, and executing every networking strategy my graduate school years taught me lead me to dead ends and sheer frustration. It wasn’t…
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 As you get wrapped up in the business of living, it is so easy to forget these words. Easy to forget how brief our lives are.…
