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!

XXXXXX Writes: Hi I follow you on Twitter. I  am encouraged by you everyday. I’m only 16 years old. My mom just got married to a guy she only know for 6 months. My stepdad make me feel creepy. He says things to me like ” Your but is getting  big” or You can’t have no boyfriends. I’m the only boyfriend you can have”  and he always try to make it so we be alone at home together. But if I know it will be only me and him, I’ll try to go over a friends or something. I don’t…

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…

I must admit, I was a bit skeptical of the idea of replacing Stacy Dash’s character, Val. To my surprise, VH1 did a very good job of making us forget that Val ever existed. Partly because new single lady, Denise Vasi isn’t exactly a replacement for Val. She plays Raquel Lancaster, a friend of Keisha’s, and like the other single ladies, she has her own set of issues!

Most of us watched as Brian Banks, a rising football star who was falsely convicted of rape/kidnap, was exonerated yesterday after his accuser, Wanetta Gibson contacted him on Facebook and later recanted her story. When Gibson accused Banks of rape following an encounter at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, his attorneys encouraged him to plead no contest instead of going to trial before a jury and risking 41 years in prison. His attorneys said he “chose the lesser of two evils” when he pleaded no contest. Banks was sentenced to six years, which he served and is now on parole…

8-Year-Old Breanna Murr of Detroit was in a field during school when she saw a $100 bill on the ground. Instead of pocketing the cash, she immediately gave it her teacher, saying it didn’t belong to her. Turned out, the bill was fake, but someone gave her a real one as a reward of her ethical decision. THANK GOD for well-raised children!!! We know we have them, but we need all of the POSITIVE NEWS we can get!

What if someone promised you they would make you a millionaire, but under one condition? You would have to give up everything that is precious to you for one year. Would you do it? Would you embrace this tough time, knowing that at the end of it all, you would have everything you ever wanted? If you answered yes, the same perspective should be applied to any other trial you may be forced to endure. Sometimes the storm is intended to cleanse us, not drown us. We should  enter every storm knowing that we’re coming out better than we went…

Loyal Reader Writes: This guy and I have been friends for over a year. In January, we admitted our feelings towards each other. The problem is that he has been in several relationships in the past in which all of them ended up with him being hurt and disappointed. Because of this, he does not want to get into a relationship again. Our friendship continued to be on a great track until a month ago. We stopped communicating as much, and I haven’t heard from him in almost 2 weeks. I don’t know if I said or done something wrong…

Did you know that when you hold grudges, you hold yourself hostage from receiving the blessings God has for you? Mark 11:25 says: “But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.” God wants us to be happy and joyous, not bitter and angry. Some of us are holding grudges against an absent parent for not being there when we needed them the most, a friend who has betrayed us, a spouse who has walked out on us, Or maybe even God for…

I know sometimes it seems like you’ll never get to where you’re trying to go, But you’ll get there! Just keep going! Learn to look at how far you have come, rather than how far you have to go! When we have God leading the way, nothing will get in our way! Problems are intended to change our direction, Not our destination! If things don’t work one way, Try another way! Problems are NOT intended to stop us! Sometimes God just wants us to slow down, NOT give up! When the enemy tries to discourage you by telling you to…
