Years ago, my family had to decide whether or not to take my grandmother off of life support. She had suffered a stroke, slipped into a coma, and was  pronounced brain dead. In spite of the doctor’s daily reminders that the only thing that was keeping my grandmother alive was a machine, Our family made the decision to keep my grandmother alive on life support, until God said otherwise. We felt that it wasn’t our decision to make. After a month and a half in a coma,  she eventually passed away. But, I often wondered if we were acting selfishly…

Often times we pray for things, we’re not willing to work for. Don’t get me wrong, God is able to do above and exceedingly what we ask of Him, but we must prove to Him that we are serious by doing our best. When God sees us doing our best, He’ll step in and do the rest. Whether it’s starting a new career or job, strengthening your relationship with God, or maybe even finding the love of your life. Thinking of starting a new job/ career? Don’t just post your resume on one job board and wait for a response.…

XXXXXXX Writes: In 2008, I was in a car accident. A driver ran right through a red light at an intersection and hit me. I spent 2 months of my life in the hospital rehabilitating, but never gained function back in my legs. I’m told that I will never walk again. After the accident the driver reached out to me and my family to apologize. But I have too much hate in my heart to forgive her. I mean, how can you forgive someone who is responsible for changing your life for the worst? It’s easy for someone who hasn’t…

At some point in our lives, we all must suffer heartache. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, abandonment from a parent, or the end of a relationship/friendship. Sometimes without realizing, we become hardened by our losses. That’s not the way God planned it! Psalm 147:3 says “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.” Through prayer we are able to ask God for healing. Instead, most of us become angry with God, We turn away from Him, and we began to question ” Why me?” “If God really loved me, why would He allow me to feel…

Sometimes we get impatient with God because He’s doesn’t move as fast as WE would like for Him to move. But we sometimes fail to realize that God’s timing is perfect! Simply trust His timing and know that it is already done! I had the pleasure of having a conversation with a young lady the other day whom I’ve mentored for the past couple of years and all I can say is “WOW” .  She has come a long way! When I first met her, she was a total wreck! She was losing  Faith in God. I remember her saying…

God places people in our lives for a variety of reasons. Some we will never know, Some will be quite obvious. One thing I’ve learned is that no matter how saved and loving you are, there is always going to be someone who is going to dislike you. The bad part about  it is that sometimes these people are the people we care the most about… our “friends”. I recall a time when I was going through a lot. It seemed as though everything that could go wrong, DID! Luckily I had someone who was there for me and had…

Single ladies: Is cheating a red flag for you when dating? Could you continue a relationship or marry someone after they have cheated on you? Married ladies, Are there deal breakers for marriage? Anything that you’re NOT willing to put up with? Or is it “Till death do us part?” Everyone seems to have a different opinion when it comes to cheating. Let us know if you agree with this guy!

Facebook’s 13-and-up age cut-off could soon be a thing of the past. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the social media giant is working on plans to let kids use the site with their parents’ supervision. Children accounts would include links between kids’ and their parents’ accounts and requirements that parents approve every friend request and application use. But with many children already lying about their ages to create Facebook pages, executives believe they have no choice but to establish better parental controls in consideration of a federal law that requires verifiable parental consent before collecting data on kids under 13.…

That moment you realize God had this planned all along…
When God has something better for you…

Bishop Ulmer is one of the best Pastor’s in Los Angeles… And no, I’m not saying this just because he happens to be MY Pastor! 🙂 Monday he appeared on the season finale of Basketball Wives to offer advice to Shaunie about all the drama and negativity being portrayed on the show. Like always, I was blessed by his presence. The advice he gave Shaunie, was the truth! I just hope she was listening! Check out the video:

So you think you’ve found “the one”. Everything seems as though it’s too good to be true. You have so much in common, his family loves you, you love them, and whenever you’re apart, it seems like an eternity. Fast forward a few years later, the relationship really hasn’t progressed much, except you’re probably shacking up by now. There’s an old saying… “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” Do you believe this to be true? If yes, how long are you willing to wait for a marriage proposal. Should there even be a timeframe,…

Loyal Reader says: This guy had always liked me for about 8 or 9 years. When I decided to begin healing and letting go of my past, he popped up. We started dating and I felt so strong for him. But I was scared and didn’t want to like him as much. I went back to being guarded. Anyway, I decided to push through. The relationship was rocky because I tried to find every reason to make him into a liar. Well he was going through some serious family issues with three different family members. I tried to be there…

Romans 12:12~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Sometimes we become so consumed with how big our problems are that we forget how big our God is. Isaiah 54:17 says: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”. No, That doesn’t mean that everything will go your way all the time. It simply means that God will not allow anything to get in the way of the plan that He has for you. Sadly, and way too often we find ourselves giving up on God when things don’t go according to our plans or turn out…
