You have done all that You can do, now let Me handle it!
The other week while doing my hair I found my mind consumed with thinking about some things I desire for God to do in my life and that of my family. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t worrying, this time, I was actually just pondering about how, when and where. As I was trying to figure things out in my own mind I heard these words in my spirit, “You have done all that you can do, now let me handle it”. I must confess that it took me a few seconds to actually process this directive. See, this was not just a statement but instructions. There are times we…

Wait! Don’t Give Up! It is Coming in Time!
No, please not another year! Do I have to wait another year? What have I done to cause this long delay? How do I find the strength to continue even though I am discouraged and tired? I believe these are questions many of us have asked during our time of waiting. When there is a strong desire, waiting can seem almost impossible to do at times. Although it may seem hard, don’t give up, it will come at the appointed time! What is an appointed time? A time that is predetermined, predestined, set and fixed. In every promise God has scheduled an appointed time. For many years before the birth…

I Am Worthy!
It has been almost a year that I have been on this writing journey. I remember when I first embraced the idea that God had called me to write and how nervous and unsure I was. Although people, primarily my husband and my mom, had been telling me about my writing for years I refused to accept what they were saying. One reason is because I honestly did not feel that I had a passion for writing and I was really unsure of myself. When I decided to go ahead and launch out into the deep I had many doubts. I wondered whether or not I would be able to…

Take Your Power Back!
There are so many times we run behind things and people that are either not meant to be in our lives or choose not to be. In some cases they are meant to be in our lives, however, they often mistreat us or discourage us whether it is intentionally or unintentionally. We must remember that although people may say and do hurtful things to us, these things can only tear us apart if we allow them to. We have the power and we must take it back! We have the power to keep pressing and keep believing in ourselves even when others do not. We have the power to overcome…

Invest in Yourself
I realize that I have a bad habit that needs to be broken. The habit that I am speaking of is actually common among many people I know although I don’t know if they realize that it is a habit. Sometimes we become so consumed with the cares of life and we forget to invest in ourselves. We invest in our spouses, our children, jobs, churches, community and etc…but we forget to invest in ourselves. It is important to devote some time, energy and resources into ourselves. I am in no way speaking against doing things for others; however, we must remember how important it is to do something…

True Love is a Necessity
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Corinthians 13:4-8. The act of love is like none other. Without true love, we as a people would be completely lost. God showed us his unfailing agape love when he gave his only begotten son so that we may have the opportunity for eternal life. Although God is the ultimate…

Learning to Love Again Part II
This article is the second part to “Learning to Love Again Part I”. Here I will continue to share how my husband and I learned to survive in a marriage that seemed to be hopeless at times after his return from multiple deployments. In order to save our marriage KJ and I both realized that we each had to bear the responsibility and adapt to the situation that was currently at hand. We are thankful that God helped us to save our marriage and that we both learned how to love each other again after such a tough battle. 1. Commitment- When we marry our spouses we should always go…
