  • God is Building Character and Giving us Hope through our Struggles

    “Through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the…

  • God Answers Our Prayers

    Many people wonder does God hear their prayers. God does hear our prayers. The issue we may face is that what we pray for may not be in God’s will. It may not be His will despite how bad we desire the things we want. Years ago I was diagnosed with severe mental illness. I…

  • God Does not need a Perfect Christian

    Being a light to others is not about perfection (Matthew 5:16). It is about the heart, motives, and attitude. God is the only one who knows when our spirit needs a check (Jeremiah 17:9-10). He also knows when our motives are impure. Don’t be deceived by people with a form of godliness who are not…

  • Leaving the Past Behind

    The past has its relevance but it should not control your present or future. You are bigger and stronger than your past. You can overcome all things with God. God intended for us to overcome our stumbling blocks and the struggles we face. Your future can be whatever your heart desires no matter what your…

  • Don’t let Your Past Define You

    Trauma is not something that can be erased. Once you have experienced trauma it is a lifelong journey to recovery. If you’ve been wondering about the flashbacks and constant psychological reminders, it’s normal. It disrupts sleep, relationships, and affects how you cope with stress. You have to consciously choose not to allow your past to…

  • You’ve Survived the Storm. It’s Time to Move On.

    Our lives are similar to the seasons of nature. There are winter seasons, fall seasons, spring seasons, and summer seasons. Some of the seasons we are in can be harder than others. They can come with loss, hardship, and pain. They can come with burdens and things we may have even thought we overcome but…

  • Complete Your Assignment

    I wanted things to be perfect, without a struggle. This caused me to run when things got too hard. As many wise women have told me “you may run but if your assignment is not finished God will take you over that mountain again”. You must be willing to stay in the assignment God gives…

  • When the Rubber meets the Road

    Sometimes in life what we plan, what we think, what we had in mind, and our reality when it’s time to do what is required of us is a “when the rubber meets the road” situation. Life is full of twists and turns. When the rubber meets the road is different. We are trying to…

  • When it won’t Stop Raining

    There was a shell of her from all the rain She grew to expect rain more than sunshine The rain came so often with only peaks of sunshine The people around her carried in so much rain she set an umbrella across her life. When sunshine came she was unimpressed and waited for rain The…

  • Living Life through the Pain

    We have all been through times where life was hard and it seemed like we wouldn’t make it. Some of us have been abused and had no one to save us but God. Some of us have loved and failed at love. You may have wanted things and it seems as if life would not…
