I thank God for my emptiness. It is like a gift wrapped haphazardly by the Giver in an unappealing wrapper. You wouldn’t know how beautiful it is until you’ve opened it. If it wasn’t for that hungry pang for something better, I wouldn’t have strived harder. If it wasn’t for that emptiness, I wouldn’t have been desperate to search for an answer. I would have been complacent. I might have been living contentedly with “just enough”. Your emptiness can do stupendous things in your life. My emptiness did these incredible things in my life: My emptiness gave me the drive…

At an early age I learned that God created me different from everyone else. What made me different was my visual flaw, when everyone saw me they saw my flaw. I’m opening a wound that has healed, but it’s my story. Imagine being singled out by another eight year old because your skin was different from theirs, no one wanting to stand by you, or even be your friend because you were born different. Can we say self esteem issues? I was just a kid that wanted to be accepted. From childhood to becoming a teenager I was a very…
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Philippians 4:11 Being content when things are NOT the way you want them. Yeah – this can be a tough pill to swallow and I’m talking from personal experience here. Let’s just get the real reason this is a challenge out of the way – we’re human with feelings and flaws. Yup, that pretty much sums it up. And we have a want what I want when I want it mentality. So being content in life circumstances that are not what…
Just when you feel like you can’t do it alone anymore, God reminds you that you never had to do it alone in the first place.
I had a roller coaster ride that almost drove me out of my wits two years ago. I transformed into the monster that I did not know existed. I felt anger so intense it almost consumed me. At one point, I really think it did. I made wrong decisions, spoke words of contempt, cursed a couple of people (and myself), stayed up late thinking, plotting, and lashing myself with an invisible whip until I was left exhausted physically, emotionally and spiritually. It was a nightmare. I was murdered emotionally and I started becoming a criminal myself by punishing the other…

I know you have probably heard this question before, “Do 2 Wrongs Make a Right?” The answer is emphatically no! When you have two wrongs you simply have two wrongs. The is especially true when it comes to disagreements or should I say arguing. When you find disagreements and arguments creeping up as a part of your life, take a step back and assess the situation. Yes, assess the situation. It may feel strange doing this if you are used to protecting yourself with your words. However, if you want to lessen the arguments and disagreements you have in your…
If you want to live a Happier Life, remember the best feeling of happiness is when you’re happy because you’ve made someone else happy!
I honestly believe that when we go through things, God is truly the ONLY one who can really help. It seems like it would be so much easier and less painful for somebody to give us the answers, fix it, and take away the pain, but most of the time you’ll just become confused. Real change has to come from within. You have to get it, have to click with it inside, for it to really make a difference in your life. *That being said here are 2 hints to point you in the right direction for lifting that load.…

Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” “Self-worth could very well, possibly be a lifetime lesson. I am 36 years old and honestly, I’ve really just started learning the importance of this 2 years ago.” Many of today’s role models in entertainment are promoting this to young women: “The shorter the shorts, the better and the lower the cleavage the better.” “Seven-inch platform heels are hot, strippers are cool, and twerking is sexy.” Like this is what will get someone’s attention. This makes you sexy and sexy is important. Sexy is what gets the…
