After avoiding the trend Being Out and In Out and In Again Love Dared Near A Dream Fulfilled Eagerness willed A gift held so dear In wait she prayed While others games played Yet, hers, He alone had made Only one was due Only one who’d pursue Her needs in…

Prayer works; a simple sentence, but such a powerful reality. Those were the words my pastor used as we commenced our 3 day journey of early morning intercessory prayer as a church body after our inauguration of our new sanctuary a few weeks ago. That Monday was a holiday and the…

I’ve done it at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’ve been so famished that I pile loads of food on my plate with every intention of eating every drop…The result is one of two scenarios…neither of which is desired. #1 I inhale everything only to find myself stuffed and miserable minutes later.…

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, it’s hard for a girl not to get giddy about all the “lovie-dovie” movies, plush animals, and sentimental cards out there. Only, a very special person to me helped me determine something so much more valuable than all that stuff. Yes, I know that…

Forget about the pain….the lies….the tears….the betrayal….and perhaps most importantly….Forget about the embarrassment. Now have I always lived with this philosophy? Of course not! But thankfully, by…

Continue reading →: CALL HIM- HE ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY
Yes, I’m here again…back to Matthew 14:22-35….I just can’t shake that word! IMMEDIATELY! Three times the word “immediately” was mentioned referring to Jesus’ actions…how He immediately gave the disciples a directive…how He immediately reassured them when He first appeared on the lake…and how He immediately reached out His hand and…

Happy Rich Year! I am full of faith! Yet, I hadn’t considered it as my “rich year” until my brother sent a reminder in response to my traditional, “Happy New Year” text. His suggestion,”speak it and it will happen.” Of course, at 2 am, it didn’t really register as anything…
