“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me”. -2 Corinthians 12:9 I have yet to experience the joy of what it feels like to have a life growing on the inside of me, nor feel the first kick of a baby in my womb, nor am I aware of what it sounds like to have someone call me “mommy”, and I have yet to see my husband eyes light up…

God is an on time God! It’s a good feeling when God shows up just in time, but the best feeling is when you realize He has never left you!
I wrote this reflection after a field trip I took to a farm with my students in an afterschool program. I hope it blesses you. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation. Isaiah 25:9 The aroma of goat and manure wafted under our noses. Melodies of giggles filled the air and wide brown eyes danced in curiosity. It was a lovely day on the Llama farm. Over a dozen pair of…
If you’re getting impatient, I encourage you to rest today knowing that He is already at work for your good.
When God’s answer is not the one you want just remember to Focus on Him and everything that is meant for you, will come to you.
There is purpose in your pain. We may never understand it, but with God we can get through it! Praise almighty God for that!
Faith Without Works is Dead so Pray hard, Work hard, and God will work wonders!
So you’ve been stressed out…stressed out about your health, bills, kids, and/or career. The great thing is that you got on your knees and talked to God. You reminded Him of Peter 5:7 that says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Afterwards, you both agreed that He would take your burdens. However, a little while after returning to your feet, you thought about your burden and possible solutions. Before you knew it, you were carrying it again. This happens all too often when we take our concerns to the Lord. We may pray about a…
When you face uncertainties, fear not. God is already in the future and He has prepared a promising tomorrow for you. When you are afflicted with sorrow, fear not. He will wipe away your tears. Your trial is temporary. The triumph that awaits you is everlasting. When people try to destroy you and plot things to harm you, fear not. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Fear is not of the Lord. Fear steals your joy, destroys your hope and stops you from loving. Fear can paralyze you and kill you softly. Who would want such a life? One…
It was an early Monday morning. My work day started at 9AM, but the HR manager requested me to get there by 8:55AM…not a problem. I felt like I did everything right on this particular day, so how could life be working against me. I woke up at 6AM. Showered and got dressed. I was feeling like superwoman, so I even cooked myself breakfast- I hardly ever cook anything that early in the morning. I mapped out my schedule to get to the city. I caught the 7:22AM train into New York Penn Station, and I was set to hop…
Sometimes when you are faced with difficult situations, you can lose your faith. It can feel like God is not listening or that He simply doesn’t care. However, it’s important to remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not yet seen. It’s also important to realize there’s a power working on your behalf, even when you can’t see it. But when you learn to trust, despite your circumstances, you will see that your faith is still intact – you just have to hold on. You just have to make the choice to…
“Faith it till you make it”. I don’t know who came up with that quote but I love it. Basically it’s saying to keep the faith until the manifestation of God is done. Now how many other than me find this very difficult to do sometimes? It’s hard to stay faithful when all in the natural feels so hopeless. But you know what I have learned? Giving up is easy, real easy! Anything worth having sometimes requires a fight. Keeping the faith and waiting and allowing God to work things out takes more strength, but it is so worth it…
What have you done today that will draw you closer to fulfilling your God implanted dream/vision/goal? Have you written a few pages of your manuscript, have you filled out that application for a new job, or to apply to college? Have you written out that business plan or did the research needed for that business you want to open? Did you put a little extra money aside to go towards the goal you want to fulfill? Did you take that class you’ve been wanting to take for so long? Or if you have already fulfilled that big dream, what are…
Does he love you or is he lusting after you? Does he really want to know you: your thoughts, your dreams, and your fears? Or is it all for the physical? If he’s showing obvious signs that he only wants the cookie, the fruit, the flower or whatever reference you have for your nature below, then maybe it’s time to – LET HIM GO! Is he really worth you wasting your time or more importantly; your faith? I think not. No one is worth losing your faith in God – yes I said it, no one. Now I know this…
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard someone say ” You should always hope for the best, but expect the worst”. I’ve said it a few times myself . I used to live by that saying actually! I’ve since then realized that such mentality is insulting to God. I know sometimes we don’t see a way out. It seems impossible! But we serve a mighty God, who can and will make a way, out of no way. When God is ready to bless you, make sure you’re prepared to receive it. Don’t miss the Best thing that could’ve happened to you because you’re only prepared to receive…
