(Proverbs 20:30)”Blows that hurt cleanse away evil, As do stripes the inner depths of the heart.” The hands down most difficult break up I’ve had was with my almost 5 year relationship. Imagine talking, eating, practically breathing and coexisting with another person 24/7 for 5 years then suddenly putting an end to it. It’s like those 5 years of your life became meaningless or non-existent. Imagine someone punching a huge hole in your heart. I’ve never felt so empty and so lost after that. I questioned everything. I never looked at the world the same way again. What happened after…

I never thought I would be doing this, but I am in desperate need of prayers. I’m an obese woman. Weighing over 400lbs. I have always been big, but never this big. Recently, I have noticed that my son doesn’t want to be seen with me. He has a girlfriend. He has introduced her to most of the rest of the family but for some reason I have not met her. He lives with me but he always goes to visit her at her home. I think this is because he is ashamed of me. He’s a senior in High…

Lumps Lumps are perhaps the most obvious sign of breast cancer. It is a good habit to feel your breasts every so often for abnormalities. If you feel a lump, call a professional immediately. There is a good chance that the lump is not cancerous, and the lump can be nothing but scar tissue. At the same time, there is a chance that the lumps could be a sign of breast cancer, so it is important to take these lumps seriously. Skin Inflammation If your skin is inflamed and changes from your normal skin color to a more pink or…

Though I woke up, the enemy decided to begin the day with me. The pain and hurt is so immeasurable and though I wanted to give up, I wanted to say enough with the prayers I’ve been praying, enough with the fasting and thanksgiving, though I wanted to say enough with this walk with Jesus, I thank God He is still holding me together though with a very slim thread.He is still telling me that it is NOT over until He says it’s over. He is still encouraging me to look to Him, seek Him, His Kingdom and His righteousness,…

Submitted By:Tiffany Schwantes Prayer Request: I’m a young mother of two. I have been fighting cancer for over two years now. July 9, 2013, I got a liver transplant. This was the only cure for my cancer. I was doing good until about 2 months ago, and now my body has tried to reject this liver and was in the hospital for a month. Then a few weeks after that my anti rejection drug levels got too high and it sent me into kidney failure. I’m still recovering from this. Please pray God will heal my body. My babies (8…

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4 ) Marriage can be a beautiful thing, but are you prepared for the ups and downs that marriage offers? Both parties must be willing to compromise. Your relationship should be an open book, no secrets, no hidden agendas. Everything’s out in the open. Before you can truly determine if you are ready for marriage take a step back and answer these questions first: Is God the center of your relationship? God must be the center…

” Hi, I’ve been a Christian all my life, but it wasn’t until my husband of a year and a half told me he was filing for divorce did I find the true meaning of faith in Christ. I was devastated as everyone is when they hear that news come from someone they completely trust and love. Of course we didn’t have a perfect marriage, and honestly I wasn’t happy with how “off track” it had become, but I was willing to change it for the better and he wanted out. We both asked God for His blessing over our marriage…

David and Tamela Mann celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. Although this wasn’t the traditional wedding you’re probably used to, you can’t deny that the wedding was BEAUTIFUL! All guests were asked to come wearing all black, the wedding party wore red, black, and white, and the bride and groom wore all white. Both, Bride and Groom read their personalized wedding vows from an iPhone and that’s pretty much when the tears began to flow. The 46 year olds Tamela, Gospel Singer/Actress and David, Actor/Comedian were legally married in 1988, but never had an official wedding ceremony…

(1 Timothy 4:12)- Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. This is just a reminder to everyone out there ‘WE’RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO SERVE GOD”. I am 17 years old and devoted to serving GOD. Yes I make mistakes but not deliberately. I got baptised last year, the day after my birthday and I haven’t regretted it since. It was THE BEST decision I have ever made in my life. My friends laughed at me because they…

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Always be on guard, don’t just wait for hell to break loose, to all of a sudden get loose in the Spirit and call upon Jesus. The Lord should continually be on our tongue, our actions, our thoughts. What I mean is that our lifestyle should be representation of our faith, trust and honor to God. We should always find quiet time to spend with God, ten-fifteen minutes of quality a day can go a…

Wherever you are, no matter what the weather may be like, it’s a beautiful day!!! Claim it! So here it goes! I FOUND OUT WEDNESDAY THAT WE ARE HAVING A LIL MAMA! AHHHHHH!!!! Instantly I became nervous because I have 2 sons. “What am I going to do with a girl,” I thought. Yes I actually said that! Almost every woman’s dream is to have a “lil mama”, but for whatever reason I begged to differ. I thought about the cards I was dealt in this life before coming to Christ. Although my life was not very hard-knock, I had…

Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. A few weeks ago, I called up a friend and asked if she wanted to go for a walk in the park to break the monotony of being in the house. Going to the park that day was a task in itself. What time should we meet? How long do we stay? What are we going to talk about?…

When do you know when enough is enough? My husband and I have been married for 3 years. From the beginning, he knew how involved my family was in the church. He would come along every Sunday without a complaint, without hesitation, and he knew how important it was to me and also to my family that I marry someone who was involved in the church. He never did get “involved” but he came every Sunday and listened to the sermon so I couldn’t complain; at least he did that much. But over the year he’s stop coming to church…

God girds us with strength every single day of our lives and it is up to us to allow ourselves to truly rely on Him for that strength. But what happens when life gets overwhelming and we don’t know what to do or where to turn? What happens when we are crying out to God and we feel like still, nothing is changing for the better? When we are asking for God to show us what our next move needs to be and we feel like He is not answering? This is when all we need to do is be…

Hello, Good afternoon. I’m 24-years old single mother, recently married. My husband & I have been married for a month and we’re already hitting rock bottom with finances playing a major part.

Now that we’ve hit a financial snug, he’s blaming me and making me feel less of person…

Don’t Neglect Your Salvation. We neglect our salvation in the most sly ways, ways that we do not even realize. We neglect our salvation by walking around eating the bread of idleness (Proverbs 31) speaking ill about others, by not believing that God will provide over and above all of our needs, by not turning to Him in good times and in bad. God wants us to be His best friends and to hold Him so close to our hearts. He wants to give us the inheritance He has promised, but when we are constantly going around negating what He…
