    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

    Convicted

    I just happened to see this YouTube the day after the Holy Spirit talked to me about conviction. This is what He said: Instruction for your spiritual life comes by hearing and reading the Word of God. One simply cannot have conviction of their ways, lifestyle etc… if they ignorant to what’s right and wrong! Once the Holy Spirit starts feeding…. He, then, can tug on your heart by bringing remembrance to your mind what to and what not to do. But if you don’t feed your Spirit, y

    Decisions… Decisions…

    So how many of us are faced with daily decisions? Everyone has their hand raised…right? Ok, so I was reading up on how to make wise decisions? I mean, I am at a point where I am scared (terrified) of making the wrong decision, because I know how greatly it can impact me. I’m talking about great decisions… should I move to another country? Should we have a child now? Should I leave this job? Should I get involved with him/her? Things like this can greatly impact your progressi

    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

    In the Broken Place

    I really could have been bitter, but He wouldn’t let me to in that moment. So my heart was softened when the family of 5 walked up to my car and asked for their dinner that night. I was on my way to a football game of a friend, whose son played on the little league team. And, running late but hungry, I stopped at a fast food restaurant and got something to eat. As I was pulling out, trying to cross three lanes of gridlocked traffic, I waited for the road to clear up. Then a g

    Lovin’ Me | Jonathan McReynolds

    Listening to Pandora one morning, and on my Jonathan McReynolds station, there in the middle of traffic, my eyes began to swell with tears. Listening to this song, Lovin’ Me, is the perfect love song to God! I encourage anyone who feel less than themselves, less than your worth, who feels defeated by the world, to hear what this song truly express. We make mistakes, but God keeps loving us. When you feel like He’s not there He keeps loving us. When folks said you won’t amount

    Believe in Your Prayers

    Ever feel God doesn’t hear you when you pray? I know I have had times where I have prayed and I felt like God was just staring right back at me, saying not a word. And I’m like, “God are you there? Are you listening? Are you hearing me? Hello?!” And He is just like, SILENT. But you better believe that God hears you! I know that prayer works, from personal experiences and stories of triumph and victory. People have seen before their very eyes family members and friends salvati

    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

    Women Encouragement to Inspire

    This was actually put in me today to share with myself. But I wanted to share with others just in case someone needed it, now or in the future. These are just a few ‘quotes’ and sayings I looked up on a ‘woman’s strength’ and a ‘strong woman’. I don’t think men will ever understand the strength within a woman. How we manage to return to reality after our past and our skeletons. How we manage, by ourselves, to make a comeback from nothing. I have heard many men say, ‘she crazy
