Walking around with heaviness from having not fully addressing my break up in a matured way, the Holy Spirit prepared me to speak to my ex. I got a heads up in my spirit about him contacting me and shortly afterwards I received an email from him asking to meet up with me later on that week. I was nervous and yet thankful, because in that moment I believed that God was giving me another chance to make things right and to give Him the glory. God can’t get the glory when we take the reins and make a mess…
I have been going through a separation and divorce for the past 2.5 years. It’s been an incredibly long and painful journey. I have come to terms with the divorce and I truly believe that it’s the right thing for myself and my children. The divorce is still not final. I am still legally married. I have been praying for a Godly man to come into my life. I want my children to see what a happy and loving relationship is. I want and need a partner and a spiritual man in my life. I have been very much alone…
Your belief system greatly impacts the quality of your relationships. What you believe is possible in terms of commitment, love, trust, and happiness, is possible. And what you don’t believe is possible is terms of love and relationships, is not. Simply put, your belief system lays the foundation for your entire experience in love. You have to believe something is possible in order to make it a reality. Because our beliefs strongly influence our lives, a crucial step in finding love is confronting the limiting beliefs you have about relationships. Below are three of the main limiting beliefs that keep love at a…
Regardless of the way things look right now, God has not forgotten about you!

What’s the difference between hope and faith? Too many times we use the words interchangeably and they are not the same. Many times, we encourage people to just “keep hope alive”, but should we? Sarah kept hope alive. God promised Sarah she would have a son. While she hoped God would deliver on his promise, she didn’t have faith that he would. So, instead of waiting on God, she took matters into her own hands. Faith is the assurance, the certainty that your hope will be made manifest. Faith is the security in knowing that God will do as he…
Almost 2 years ago my cousin and her best friend went missing. My whole family knew something was terribly wrong because… 1. My cousin would never willingly leave her family. 2. Her best friend had a toddler at home whom she would have never left behind. 3. My cousin’s car was found, but no sign of her or her best friend. I prayed to God to let us find them. I did not ask to find them alive because I already knew, somehow that it was too late for that. I just begged God to allow us to find their…
Robin Williams — who first made America laugh and eventually touched “every element of the human spirit” in a remarkable range of performances — died at his Northern California home Monday. Williams apparently took his own life, law enforcement officials said. He was 63. “He has been battling severe depression of late,” his media representative Mara Buxbaum told CNN. “This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.” Coroner investigators suspect “the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia,” according to a statement from the…
My past is not perfect neither is it beautiful but I do believe God has called me to be as real and transparent as I can and not be afraid to share what I’ve always been afraid to share which is the truth. For many years I suffered in silence and even now it is still a struggle. Although I am not of this world, I still live in it and for the most part it is pretty cloudy. God has spoken to me in numerous ways this week. I’ve been working on this blog for the past few days…
Every relationship has its ups and downs, But how do you know when you’re forcing a relationship that is not meant to be?
I know you have probably heard this question before, “Do 2 Wrongs Make a Right?” The answer is emphatically no! When you have two wrongs you simply have two wrongs. The is especially true when it comes to disagreements or should I say arguing. When you find disagreements and arguments creeping up as a part of your life, take a step back and assess the situation. Yes, assess the situation. It may feel strange doing this if you are used to protecting yourself with your words. However, if you want to lessen the arguments and disagreements you have in your…
Are you the other woman? Before you all jump to shout loudly no, let’s be real, many of us are choosing this path, or at least find ourselves on it and at that moment are faced with whether to jump right off or continue along. Some notable women have admitted to being the other woman. Barbara Walters did, Oprah did once and I know some of you did and are. A while ago, a young woman sat in my living room and proceeded to tell me why she thought wives were the stupidest women. She said and I quote “Majority…
I was miserable the day I left for college. As I stood by the door, tears began to fall. All at once, a horrible reality sank in. I’m deaf. Earlier that month I took a fall while barefoot water skiing and instantly went from hard of hearing to deaf. When I climbed in the boat, I noticed my friends’ lips moving but no sound was coming out. I shrugged it off. My hearing had fluctuated before. Surely it was a matter of time and it would come back. As I lay in bed that night, the silence was broken by…
Hello all… I am in a very hard place right now. My husband and myself have been married for almost 8 years now. He has a daughter from a previous relationship, but we have no children together. When we first met, we did have the baby talk and we both decided that we would wait to start a family and not rush into it. I finished school, He finished school, and 5 years later we are still babyless. The only difference now is that I’m so ready and he’s still not ready. Every time I bring it up, it’s an argument. We both…
If you want to live a Happier Life, remember the best feeling of happiness is when you’re happy because you’ve made someone else happy!
I honestly believe that when we go through things, God is truly the ONLY one who can really help. It seems like it would be so much easier and less painful for somebody to give us the answers, fix it, and take away the pain, but most of the time you’ll just become confused. Real change has to come from within. You have to get it, have to click with it inside, for it to really make a difference in your life. *That being said here are 2 hints to point you in the right direction for lifting that load.…

Here are 5 Things to Consider When Something Just Doesn’t Feel Right… God shows us what we need to see, but we sometimes refuse to accept it.
There are lots of things that weigh us down, slow us from our journey or hinder us from achieving our goals and dreams. In which case, we MUST stop, evaluate our situation and hand it over to God. Here are 5 things that we should give up? I can name five right now: 1. Give up hanging out with toxic people. We have friends, and even relatives who seem to make it their life goal to make us feel miserable. But, we stick with them thinking or maybe hoping that they will eventually change. The problem is oftentimes, instead of changing them,…
