I was traveling back home to New York for the weekend. As I was getting on the bus, everyone was doing what we all tend to typically do on public transportation. We were all scoping the scene to see where and if we could possibly get a seat with no one next to us. It was a Friday morning and a packed bus. I placed my luggage down and waited for the bus to depart. As we were all waiting to depart into our four hour journey, the bus driver and attendants stood outside to see if there were any…

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Well you can’t fool God none of the time!
Some of us have lost something this week and need peace about it, if that is you, I encourage you to lift up this simple prayer…
No matter what’s going on, Be encouraged! God has not forgotten about you.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably felt like knocking on heavens door “Let me in”, “I give up”, “What must I do?”, “This isn’t fair” and “Why me? “. Yep, that’s what I was screaming. I kept knocking and knocking, asking and asking “why are you doing this to me God?… I’m not as strong as you think I am”. I held Him to His word in Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”. Still there was nothing. No resolution. No coming out…
For the longest time, I didn’t even know what the word Holy meant. I would just blag my way around the subject so people thought I knew what I was talking about. It’s one of those words you just imagine some priest, in all his robes, saying, and speaking like a KJV bible. In fact, it’s quite an intimidating word. It is intimidating because it requires something. It means sacrifice. I have been a Christian for a good few years and I can honestly say that I have only recently began to understand what being holy means. Holiness is our…
I attended a huge event at my church in St. Louis with key speaker, author, and actress, Priscilla Shirer. Priscilla Shirer is the leading star in the ever so popular Christian movie, ‘The War Room’. The event was called The Fervent Tour. What does fervent mean? I decided to look it up. According to the dictionary, fervent means “having or showing great warmth or intensity of spirit, feeling, or enthusiasm.” Being fervent in prayer means to actually feel what you are praying for or saying, not just going through the motions or memorization. Fervent means praying prayers that aren’t lifeless, boring, routine,…
Who doesn’t have one of those days when one just wants to throw in the towel? There are days when we cry, scream, and wonder why we are facing these challenges. Then we are reminded that God is God alone and nothing is too big or too small for Him to handle. The truth of the matter is that every time we need God, God is there because He is faithful. God has the power to turn any situation around. I am here to assure you that it’s not what you go through, it’s how you go through it. God hears…
Have you ever wanted something so bad you could taste it, see it, feel it? That’s the place God wants to take us, a place of desperation, where you can overcome every obstacle!
God can turn plans of evil for good. He can turn our sadness into joy, bad news into good news, and a mess into a great message.
It’s been 7 painstaking months since my mother’s cervical cancer diagnosis. While it is something that helped me learn so much about myself as a child of God, I can’t deny the fact that it was the main reason I felt stuck. Stuck in my personal life, stuck in my career, stuck in my obligations and responsibilities, stuck in a life I honestly didn’t want to live. I had to be with my mother most of the time as she’s dependent on me to help her move around and do things (on days she’s able to get out of bed). People praise…
I thank God for protecting me from what I thought I wanted … and blessing me with what I didn’t know I needed.
In the heat of the moment, don’t escalate it… Pray about it. Here are 6 Bibles Verses to Manage Anger God’s Way
I have a question for you… What’s the one thing everyone needs, but most people lack it? Yes, Faith! We all need it, but most of us lack it.
I am without a doubt, a list kind of person… just ask my husband. Many of you can relate to this: that sense of accomplishment when you can cross something off a list. At times I am even guilty of writing down something that I have already done onto one of my multiple lists just to cross it off right away. It might be a little overkill how many lists I actually have: one at work for work tasks, a bucket list of all the places I want to go or things I want to do, a list for books…
Who is the Proverbs 31 Woman? Here are six strong Personality Traits of The Proverbs 31 Woman we should all aspire to be…
God gives us chance after chance. Even when we are not willing to give Him at least one.
Sometimes we pray for things we’re not ready for. Be patient… God is getting you ready!
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9
It’s time to let go of the ashes and see the beauty that is waiting in exchange for them.
