The Struggle is in Your Head

As merely humans, we tend make mountains out of molehills – literally. So it’s no wonder during your walk as a single Christian, it seems that there is a gigantic magnifying glass on you. Thoughts run around in your head, “Everyone is waiting for me to get hitched,” or even “Everyone is looking at me wondering what’s wrong with me.” I get it. It’s not fun to feel like the single “black sheep” while everyone else is running around in relationships or marriage in their happily

Train Your Tastebuds

Why is it the things we need to eat and drink we have no desire for? I was really a person that didn’t like drinking water at all. It wasn’t flavorful, it wasn’t sweet, it wasn’t tasty. It was plain, and a pain to swallow. I’m sure in my childhood my sisters and I probably had our share, but when I was ‘adult’ enough to buy my own type of drinks, I never reached for water again. Until now. Sigh. In a disturbance starting probably a year ago, my face had the worst breakout in

2015 Has Taught Me…

If I had to write a blog ending the 2015 year, it would be this one here. I looked around and couldn’t believe 2015 drifted by, and as of now, I lived 342 days of this year. I had weak moments. I had struggle times. I had joyful moments. I had happy times. Some days I’ve had plenty to accomplish, and some days I’ve had nothing to do. But this year brought me to three key points I would like to share… That there is truly an expiration date to your pain Coming into 2015, I was

He Didn’t Bring Me This Far…

The song resonate in my heart “I just can’t give up now, Come to far from where I started from… Nobody told me, the road would be easy, and I don’t believe He brought me this far to leave me.” (I just love the picture by the way.) About a year ago, I revamped my blog to my journey as a Christian going through lifes ‘challenges’ and how I’m getting through them leaning on God instead of my own strength. And even today, I was deleting old Social Media “Notes” full of the same

Seeds

Have anyone ever did the experiment in science class that had to grow the lima bean plant? They gave you dirt, a plastic cup and a seed. You had to take it home, care for it and bring it back in 2 or 3 weeks for the final grade. I know when I first planted the seed, I was excited! (Don’t ask me why, but I was!) I put the dirt in the cup, put the seed in, watered it a little and put it in my window. In two days I was excited to see some physical results, surely. Nope. Just dir

Changing Seasons and Becoming a Godly Wife

(Disclaimer: I was going in one direction with this blog, and ended up being 2 subjects in 1, so, here we go! :-D) I was asked last year to take in my mother, as she needed a place to stay for a while. I was used to my own space. I was used to my way of living. I was used to it just being Rex (my dog) and I, and our routine. I had already a schedule. I already had my steady electric, water and gas bill. I was very comfortable living with myself. I didn’t want to break my comf

It Don’t Take Much… | Liturgical Dance “Take Me to the King”

This song holds very very dear to my heart, Take me to the King by Tamela Mann. Not because she sings it so awesomely, but the fact of humility, vulnerability and the desperate search for Him. (This was actually the first song I danced to liturgically in 2012, November (get that huh?). And two years later, I still can worship to this song. -My worship dance below.) I was desperate for God. I ran to Him out of confusion, hurt, worthlessness, inferiority – just UGLY. I told Hi

Hard Times, Maturity & Development

A hard hit on the company, and we are losing our minds! About 1 and a half years ago, the CEO’s made a decision that shaped the company’s destiny, and the employees have reaped the decisions the presidents made then. So now, as a company, we have to work twice as hard, and some had to do it with half the pay! People were cut, workloads increased, and above all, we were scrutinized very closely to the point of uncomfortability. When the company was good, we were good! Sales we

Sweat the Small Stuff

This daily devotional blessed me one morning from yet another Proverbs 31 Ministries email … and it confirmed what I have been wanting to write about recently. So here we go. I hope everyone knows the story of Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters. (If not, please click on the link to read it!) This story came to mind as I began to ponder about how we step over the smallest opportunities and tasks seeking to make our name great! As a synopsis of the African tale, there was a King who

Be the Clay

I was praying to God like every morning on my way to work, and in the middle of my prayer, God began to speak to me! (I don’t know, I just get excited when He starts to speak and reveal things to me! I just get happy and honored He talks to me and I know His voice! Just a sidenote….) So anyway, I was praying to Him about being molded by Him. He was revealed to me, just as the clay gets soft in order to mold, so shall our lives be. We have to break down, be willing to be mushe

The Best Revenge

…is to do absolutely nothing. Period. Sometimes we want to get back at someone who hurt us, our friends our family…. someone who acted injustly or got away with something. We want to pray that those who hurt us will ‘get theirs’. Our human nature wants to lash out, key cars, leave nasty texts or voice mails, perform riots…basically do harm for harm. And when you feel like that, and do those things, you have completely missed it, and fell right in to the enemy’s trap, serious

When You (Think You) Have the Right To…

I’m thinking, “If this lady email me, one more time! I sent her about 2 different proposals for large groups that she declined both of them, and now she is asking for another one? Why even bother? Why waste my time?” I come in on Monday morning, checking emails from the weekend, and see yet another email from her wanting the ‘all exclusive’ package for her client in Miami on a yacht, with all the trimmings. Again. Not only did I quote her on two different occasions and she ha

Love Is…

As we look in the scripture, the NLT version of 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 goes a little like this: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Could you imagine a being on t

Old Things Pass Away

You know why most people struggle the way they do in a particular area or certain areas? They haven’t put away their old garbage, no matter how much they would like to admit they have. Meaning…. their old stuff… old ways of thinking… old life. They haven’t really been delivered from what they used to struggle with and who they used to be. Because when presented with the opportunity, they fall right back into what they so called was ‘delivered’ from. Ephesians 4: 20-24 says pl

Our Little Pity Party

It’s such a shame how much validation we need from others. So much that sometimes we stay in that constant state of feeling sorry for ourselves, throwing pity parties, always bringing up your negativity and burdens in conversations to others, always saying “Yeah, I’m making it” and complaining, bringing up drama always and just being depressive. If you’re like me, you really get tired of hearing from people like this, so much, you tune them out. I know I do from time to time,

Random Happy Note

I wrote this on Monday and posted it to my Google Plus profile. But decided to share to my blog. #ChristLife #HappyLife ~ Today I woke up so happy, so blessed and just elated. For this season in my life, I am completely and totally free. I love where I am at right now, and I can say truly I never been in this place before. I feel so comfortable doing me. I love God. I love my life. I am utterly doing what I want to do with my life, my ambition and goals drive me to where I wa

God’s Timing

As I saw this on Facebook this morning, I got a jump in my spirit. For me to write a quickie on His (God’s) timing. In a microwaveable society, we are some eager creatures. Everything, instantaneous. Success, Love, Wealth, Money. We want it NOW. And not then. Now and not later. Because we think when we pray, God is the genie in our lives. And he snaps his finger, and your prayers are instantaneously answered. But those who really know God, knows He doesn’t work that way. One
