How many of us truly strive to turn our negatives in positives? One young lady did exactly that. Janette Colantonio of Summerville, South Carolina, recently lost 200 pounds after she received a traffic citation for not wearing her seatbelt because she was obese. At 408 pounds, she simply could not get the seatbelt to extend across her body. After receiving the ticket, she decided to lose the weight, and a year and a half later, she found the officer who issued her the ticket, and thanked him. If this isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is!

Gabrielle Douglas was interviewed by Oprah on Sunday, August 26, 2011 on Oprah’s Next Chapter on OWN. Gabrielle, who we have come to know as “Gabby,” said she would rather be called “Gabrielle.” [That might be hard to do for some of us who have grown accustomed to calling her “Gabby. Oprah went to Iowa and sat down first with Gabrielle, then with Gabrielle and her mother, then with the Gabrielle’s family and the Iowa host family before going to the gym where the 16-year old, 4 feet 11, 94-pound gymnast trained for 22 months before becoming the first African American to become an Olympian gold medal…
Sometimes we want something so bad that we never stop to ask God what He wants for us. We set our hopes on favors too small. Thinking that if we don’t ask for much, God will answer our prayer. I remember as a child, I would pray for something really big and then I would end my prayer by saying something like “Lord, if You can’t give me what I want, just give me what You can!” As an adult, I’ve learned that our God is not a second best God. He only gives His very best. No in between,…
Not only is Bishop T. D. Jakes the pastor of a megachurch, The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, but he is also a movie producer. His fifth film, “Sparkle” premiered in theaters on August 17, 2012. So what is Bishop Jakes saying about “Sparkle”? First of all, he says the production of “Sparkle” was bittersweet as he talked about it being Jordin Sparks’ first role and Whitney Houston’s last role. The movie finished its production three months before her death and aired in theaters six months after her death several days after the legendary singer’s 49th birthday. Bishop Jakes told…
God has a way of making all things work together for our good. Even though we can’t see all the amazing things He’s doing for us behind the scenes, we can rest assure our God is busy at work on our behalf! Genesis 50:20 says “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good”. This assures us that no matter how bad our situation may seem, No matter how tight of a hold we may think the enemy has on us, No matter how deep we have fallen, God is able to reach down and raise us to…
God has moments of favor in your future. He is preparing you right now. Every struggle and trial is just preparing you for that moment! We all want success and happiness, but not many of us want to endure the trials and tribulations to achieve it. We often look at celebrities and wish we had their lifestyle, not knowing what they had to endure to get where they are today. Take these celebrities for example: Tyler Perry, actor-director-writer-producer; became homeless after moving from New Orleans, Louisiana to Atlanta, Georgia. He spent months living in cheap motels and his car. As a Christian,…
11-year-old Kile Glover has passed away this morning from injuries suffered in a tragic jetski accident in Georgia earlier this month. Doctors removed 11-year-old Kile Glover from life support after it was determined the injuries were too severe to overcome. I know Kile’s mother, Tameka Foster, struggled tremendously with the decision, as any mother would. I couldn’t imagine having to make such a decision. Our prayers are with the family. Update: After speaking with a source close to the family, we are able to confirm that Kile’s heart stopped beating; he was not taken off life support as previously reported.
The worst thing any of us can do during hard times is lose Faith in God or doubt His ability. Have you ever been in a situation and just knew it was the end? You didn’t see a way out, but just in the nick of time, God showed up and showed out? Sometimes He’ll step in just to remind us that HE is God. A friend of mine has been a Police Officer for many years. She recently decided to apply for a promotion as a Police Sergeant. Anyone who knows or have applied for a Law Enforcement position…
The more I see of this guy, The more I love him! Devon Franklin, a Movie Executive, a Seventh-day Adventist minister, and newlywed husband of actress Meagan Good. In an interview on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, Devon says that money doesn’t necessarily mean you’re successful. Success is defined by one’s peace. I totally agree! If your goal in life is to be the best mom you can be, and you have accomplished it, You’re successful! 🙂 Here is Devon Franklin defining what deems success.
President Obama turned a campaign event in Fort Myers, Fla., into a moment of silence, calling on participants to pray for the victims of a Colorado shooting. “This morning, we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways we are united as one American family,” Obama said of the mass shooting during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the latest Batman movie, at a theater complex in Aurora, Colo. Twelve people died and dozens more were injured. If anything, an incident such as the one in Aurora shows that “life is very…

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.…
