Does He have your Attention?
The Lord has a way of getting our attention. A few weeks ago, I was in a automobile accident that could have easily been fatal…But God! In that moment, all I could focus on was why God allowed it to happen. What was He trying to teach/show me? He kept me. His love for me is indescribable. A loved one asked me, “what is it … Continue reading Does He have your Attention?

Major Comeback for a Minor Set Back

Unapologetic
It’s no mystery why this song won Best Original Song at the Golden Globe Awards! It teaches us to embrace our uniqueness and scars. There are cruel people in the world who view different as obscure. “This is Me,” is all about self-love, empowerment and growth. It’s easy to allow what we believe is a deformity to control our emotions, which stifles our ability to … Continue reading Unapologetic
The Wait is Over
The truth is we will always have to wait for God to move in our lives. Waiting refines our faith. What I’m taking about is the Wait we put on ourselves when God shows us a vision. I have the tendency to say, “I am going to be patient with the Lord. I’m going to wait for Him to give me the resources.” It’s easier … Continue reading The Wait is Over

Stay Connected
Complacency as Merriam-Webster describes is,” self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies,” with an accompanying example as, “When it comes to safety, complacency can be dangerous.” Christians sometimes become complacent and comfortable. We walk through life “knowing” that we are in control. We do what we want to do and when we want to do it. Everything must happen according … Continue reading Stay Connected
Heavenly Thoughts
“Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on earth” (Colossians 3:2). It’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos or the frills of the world. Our purposeful vision becomes altered when our thoughts about life are negative. There is always something to thank God for each day. I have been in a battle against my own mind recently. I … Continue reading Heavenly Thoughts
Stop Hiding
I speak to myself as I write this post because I have been hiding behind my purpose for the a long time. Hiding is ineffective. Hiding is being fearful of what others may think. Hiding hinders you from reaching your full potential. How can you receive the connections if the major connect doesn’t know you have the gift? How can you receive that promotion if … Continue reading Stop Hiding
