He Met Me Where I Was Testimony
One night after a long day of taking care of my family’s needs while enduring pain physically and mentally, as well as trying to maintain my emotions from just a not-so-good day, I decided to try to go to sleep early that night, and yet found myself venting to God. I could not go to sleep with so much…

How My Biracial Life Nearly Stole My Identity In God: Testimony
I was wrong to judge the world based on the hate I received as a child, based on my skin color. Being the example of topics but not heard in speech because I knew nothing and was told that it didn’t matter because black and white still existed, and anyone in between could not understand, as if being mixed was…

Light, Darkness, Sin, and Forgiveness: Mathematics Shows Lukewarm Doesn’t Exist
Today, I realized something in my late 20s that I wish I had discovered in my early teens, when I needed the information. Did you know that multiplying or dividing a positive number by a negative number always results in a negative number? If you did, which I assume you already knew, then that is awesome, but for me, this…

Aspiring Words to the ‘Fatherless’ Child
Inspired by: BeenFathered I have a confession to make. I have always been a fan of Celine Dion since I was a child, and was convinced that she was a Christian singer. Who could blame me, though? I mean, have you heard her angelic voice that sang songs that were, for the most part, positive and with lyrics that included…

How To Save A Life
I have always been known to be a sensitive person since childhood. I never liked sarcasm and never understood rude comedy and mean people. To be honest, I was and still am the person who could feel embarrassed on behalf of others and grieve when I know that someone is suffering. I never took bad news well, nor did I…

Substance Abuse: Who & What Do You Run To When Life Gets Hard?
Most people hear substance abuse and may think of the major substances, alcohol, and drugs, and would feel relieved that they do not fall under the category of having a substance abuse issue. Still, they fail to realize that a substance can be that food that led you to become an emotional eater, or that person who led to an…

The Importance Of Raising Your Children In The Heart Of Worship
I remember when I was a child, how I loved singing from my heart to God. I was about six years old at the time, and I remember pouring out my praise to God from my heart, crying because I loved Him. Then, there was an encounter at church one Saturday night, where they were discussing baptisms and missions. I…

UNBELIEF AMONGST BELIEVERS, HOW?
How do we easily forget about who God is? How do we manage to see all of God’s works throughout our lives, but manage to worship our worries rather than God for who He is? I used to question Jesus’ disciples in the Bible for their lack of faith, time after time, when they were literally walking with Jesus. Like,…

The Sacrifice A Husband Makes Allowing You To Be A Stay-At-Home Mother
The sacrifices a wife makes to raise her children while her husband works are a bittersweet experience. It’s not just about everything that the majority of women give up being a SAHM, but it’s missing the person who allows you to be so blessed to become a SAHM, because he has to be the one to leave the home to…

Miscarriage: Anembryonic pregnancy, have you heard of it?
I will always be grateful for this picture that my husband took of me hours before a procedure was done to finally end my pregnancy. I was hurt to have to make the decisions that were given to me, but it was a procedure that, nonetheless, had to happen. Anembryonic pregnancy, have you heard of it? It is a term…

Choose God’s Favor
We always talk about the enemy outside our doors and in other people, yet fail to realize that the devil spoke to Jesus face to face. Our enemy can be our sabotaging thoughts toward ourselves, lies, and all. Trauma and non-healing can be used against you in your life right now. It could bring you to emotions where you (not…

When You Rely On Your Own Strength And Not God’s… DO NOT DO IT!
Choose To Live Life With God! Have you ever tried moving house furniture on your own? I mean the old school, real heavy wooden beds and TV cabinets. Did you motivate yourself thinking you could complete the task alone and move on to the next task on your to-do list by a specific time? How did that go for you?…

Late Night Message: For Overthinkers & Mental Health Recoveries
God knows the thought process I had that led me to make every decision I made at the time. He knows everything that was judged by others because of my thoughts, and yet he saw the best in me. When everyone else around could and only wanted to see the worst. When everyone wasn’t mindful but quick to assume the…

Who is God?
My daddy used to say, “You know those lyrics but you don’t know that math…” And because I am now a 28-year-old woman applying his phrase to my Spiritual life and others as well, I could not help but passionately hear his words and explain them in a way that applies to the world around me. Who is God? No,…

My Encounter With An 81-Year-Old & His Advice As A Parent
So, this morning, I had a moment with God. At first, I was having alone time with Him, reading, when I suddenly felt led to pray about me being a horrible parent and how I feel like I have already failed my babies as a mother. I was so upset that I just asked God to help me do things…

Overcoming The “I Am So Tired Of Being A Christian” Phase.
There was a point in my life when I grew tired of being a Christian. Because I want to be real and vulnerable, I will share some things that led me down the road of feeling overwhelmed and having unwholesome thoughts. And let me say this now, after everything I had been through, I kept walking and trying with God…

Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary: My Encouragement to Ladies in Waiting.
When Josh was in the Academy, he sent me a song, “Shania Twain—You’re Still The One,” which made me break down in tears. I was in tears of gratitude to God because I had a core memory replay in my mind as if I was re-living the first time I heard that song. It was when I was about 6-7…

The Gospel
Life. Death. Resurrection. Ministry. Died for Our Sins. Holy Spirit Given. The Gospel: God sent His son to earth to live life in ministry for all to know Him, where He then took up the cross to die for the forgiveness of our sins so that through Him and His resurrection, His Holy Spirit, which descended from Heaven, could…

Late Night Message: For Those Who Need Encouragement to Keep Going
As long as you’re breathing, you have a testimony to tell. My daddy used to say that when you are far from God in life, making choices that bring no life out of emotions, God will bring you (his child) to your knees. It may be the worst thing that brings you to your knees. Still, when you get to…

Late Night Message: For SAHM Who Needs A Break
I always tell God that I am grateful for my babies and for becoming a mother, but it’s really a big change that we don’t realize as women. Back-to-back-to-back (for me at least) …. Our bodies have not been our own for a while; we can’t keep up with the changes and barely recognize ourselves. We want time, but we…
