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

Attitude Determines Altitude
A disrespectful, nasty attitude will get you NOWHERE in life. Sorry. The “I’m grown, I can do and say whatever I want to say” disposition some folks have stunts their growth, or diminishes it for that matter, so I ask… how low can you go? By definition altitude means the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level. Synonyms suggest that altitude means height and also means elevation. So if the saying is correct, your attitude determines your elevatio

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

…be Single
This is the last year of my twenties, and I can say what a roller coaster of relationships I’ve been in. From the immature & gullible stages in my early 20’s, to the maturing mid-twenties, to the seasoned late twenties. I have encountered the real, and the not so real relationships. I have encountered the hopefuls. The wishful. The prideful. I have encountered more than enough hurt one can bear. Criticism from close ones. The side eye from my family. The question ‘what’s wron

Help the Babes…
I’m such a babe in following Christ! I mean, really… an infant, a baby, a toddler… just barely 2! But hooray for 2 and going on 3! I mean, on one hand, I want to applaud at the fact I am doing so well, then on the other side, I feel like I am not doing enough compared to ‘seasoned’ Christians. Get my drift? Everyone has heard, when you first get saved, old things are supposed to pass away, and you are becoming new person, literally. We can also think of it like, you are 1 yea

Nothing is Wasted…
Have you ever thought about what you have been left with, with what you been through? I mean, we can say all day long… my problem and my situation left me hurt, left me stressed, left me confused, left me broken, they left me… period. But what about what you have been left with? I was talking with a friend, like I always do, and we were discussing my past and my whole relationship problem, so I should say. And this particular friend been around me since high school so he’s be

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

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

Why I Love Pintrest
There was one point in time where I would scroll down my timeline on social media sites and see profanity, sex and ridiculousness to say the least. There was one point where I saw a picture, almost like porn, on my phone screen. And I was totally disgusted! It seemed like my age group has seen both sides of the spectrum… old enough to remember life without tapping into social media every 2 seconds, and still young enough to partake in the social media world we live in now! It

Fill Me Up God…
Fill me up God… Fill me up God… Fill me up… Fill me up God…until I overflow! That song is so beautiful to me! When the minister of music first sung this at my church I was like, Lord where did this song come from!? It’s so beautiful! Just like a car with no gas, I was there on the side of the road with nowhere to go, nowhere to turn and no one to talk to. While everyone was going on, passing me with their beautiful lives and happiness, I was just stuck, on zero. On empty. Tal

One Thing Remains
This song is still resonating in my heart from the other Sunday’s praise and worship… One Thing, Remains… His Love. We search the physical for what God already provides, His love and guidance. While we search for assurance in our relationships, jobs, family, friends, church, ministries… and beyond, we forget that He has already given us His grace each and every day. His mercy each and every day. Each day, we have a chance to get it right, and choose Him once more. Each day He

In All Fairness…
In my 6 years of employment at my job, I have been blessed to have endured so much training that I would later need in business and as well as in life. (See how great God works, if I had left a long time ago… like a year or two after employment, I would have missed much of the training necessary for my destiny!) But yet, so much I have encountered, endured and seen in the four walls of my building I believed has made me wiser. Overall, I experienced favor during about 3 or 4

Lyrical Therapy | Hold Me Now Kirk Franklin
The spring of April’s gone, the leaves have all turned brown. The children are all grown up, and there’s no one around. I’m looking over my life, and all the mistakes I’ve made. And I’m afraid. Afraid. Somebody told me that You would wash all my sins, and cleanse me from the scars that are so deep within. So I’m calling to you, if you can hear me, I don’t know how? I was wondering, can You hold me now? I was wondering, can You hold me now? You are the only one that’s patient

Waiting and Pausing for God
In my increased alone time with God recently, I have been spending crazy time with Him! I did a fast, I cried out to him, I prayed hard and long and read scriptures he pointed me to. And what is so great, is that God has been pouring into me what I have been starved from! So its no surprise to me that when I read Proverbs 31 Ministries daily devotion this morning, I teared up! Not only did this touch my spirit, the fact that I have been hearing “Be Still”. On the way to work,

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

Conversation
I just so happen to love the comparison of having a relationship with God as to having a relationship with any other humanly being. I was driving one morning feeling disappointed, hurt, misunderstood and confused. I asked Jesus, “Was you ever disappointed in people? Hurt by them? I mean, You knew what was going to happen anyway, but in the moment, did You feel hurt, of any kind?” I’m very sure this happened quite often to Jesus. After healing the sick, blessing the poor… for

Words
Words are simply, words. Right? I mean they have no significance when I talk. Right? I’m just merely, talking. Right? Our words & conversations have the power of death and life. (Proverbs 18:21). Over yourself. Over another. Over your circumstance. They are announced in the atmosphere, at the point of no return. I think we forget that sometimes, I know I do. We just say what we feel, whatever comes to mind, then sometimes regret those words later, if we feel sorry. I speak th
