“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13 Within my journey of serving Christ, here are 5 things I’ve learned that I hope will help you on your journey as well: 1. You are no longer living for yourself. You may have tried some things you are not so proud of. You have the choice to do anything you want. However, as you are reminded of God’s calling on your life, your conscience and the Holy Spirit will stir you up not to engage in such things especially now that you are now the ambassador of Christ to people around you. You are the representative…
” In a few months my daughter will stand in front of a minister and get married to another woman. I love my daughter dearly, but I am not okay with this so I do not plan to attend the wedding. The problem is, My daughter suffers from Bi-Polar and has already tried to commit suicide once a few years ago. Her reason was that she felt like no one (specifically me) accepted her for who she was so she would rather be dead. I have not expressed to my daughter yet my intention to skip the wedding. My fear…
“Adam & Eve weren’t married, “ he said. I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe my boyfriend, a minister in training, was trying to convince me to sleep with him prior to marriage by using Bible characters. When I persisted in saying no, he told me my desire to abstain was a “good goal,” but wasn’t realistic. This man wasn’t the only “church player” I dated prior to meeting and marrying my husband. Another man warned me not to be “so heavenly minded that I was no earthly good.” I found out later that he was messing around with many sisters in…

Whatever situation you’re dealing with today, Not only can God fix it, He can make it better than it was before.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”- Isaiah 41:13 Sometimes we become so dependent on our loved ones that we fail to realize they are human just like us. We expect them to step up to the plate and take on the role of “provider” in our hour of need and we forget that God is our sole provider. When I think back on my adult life, I’ve always had someone to lean on in my time of need; Someone who I counted on to bail me out…
Sometimes we get off track. The good news is… If you’re reading this, it’s not too late to bounce back.
As we approach the month of April I am reminded of the time I fasted from men for an entire month. I made this decision, because I was an emotional wreck over a relationship that was a total mess. It in turn left me a mess. I went from being confident and focused to feeling rejected and unloved. It was the beginning of 2014, and I had hit a low point already. I desperately needed something different than what I had been experiencing, and I knew only God could fix me. During the month of March 2014, I was really…

It has taken my whole life to finally realize that God means what He says. Proverbs 3: 5-6 tells us to lean not on our own understanding, but to rely totally and completely on God. God also tells us in His word that He has everything under control. He knew the plan for our lives even before we were born. (Jeremiah 29:11). The Bible gives us so many verses that tell us to Trust in God..over and over and over again. One day, my 12 year old son woke up throwing up all over the place. Each time,…
Type the word “dating” into your bible search tool and what comes up? Nothing. When I was single, I remember wishing there was an entire book of the bible dedicated to the topic, or at least even a chapter. But though Scriptures are filled with foundational life-changing truths, there are still some topics that are left untouched when it comes to finding a biblical perspective. In fact, I have to chuckle to myself whenever someone asks me to give a “biblical” perspective on dating. Not only is there nothing said about the topic, but the concept of dating didn’t even…
On Valentine’s Day my husband gave me this tiny piece of artwork to put on my desk—something to make me laugh. Do you know what it says? It says, “Love you more than my iPhone.” Honesty, it had me cracking up because if the two of us aren’t mindful about our habits, someone can definitely be left feeling like they are competing with the iPhone for some love. Technology is an amazing thing. It allows you to stay connected to people miles away, form great friendships with people you have never met in person, and even launch businesses that you…
If you’re going through it… Just know there is power in prayer that even the devil can’t stop.
A relationship is not based on the time you’ve spent together, but the foundation you’ve built together. Let prayer be that foundation.
Often times, we may get upset because we feel our fate or destiny is in someone else’s hands. Maybe something has happened to us where we feel that another person is to blame. Maybe you feel you did not get a job because of the actions of someone else. However, God’s word reminds us that He is still in control. In Genesis, Joseph was sold into Egypt by his brothers, but he still had favor with God. He used him to keep food during famine for all of the lands. Joseph also prospered. When he confronted his brothers about what…
