Reminders from God’s Calendar

Monday night before bed, I reviewed my monthly goals. Goals are easier to chew when you take a bite each day. Say no to overindulgence, my friends. I said to myself, “When I wake up, I’m going to do this, this and this.” Gratefully, the sun rose and I had another chance to strive towards […]

The Spirit Virus

What ever happened to soul food? I’m not talking about the collard greens, the cornbread, the yams, or the dressing. I’m talking about the infectious, tasty conversations people use to bring to the table. Now, it seems like we as culture drink spoiled milk and vomit on others in public. Our attitudes being as tasteless […]

Flower Gardens in My Heart

As I reflect on the month of February, it’s been a great one. The month started with intense workouts in the training facility I consistently go to. The second week I celebrated my 28th Birthday in beautiful Orlando, Florida. The week ended with a dim light dinner with 14 of my closest family and friends. […]

God Protected 28

365 days went by. 3..2..1.. the clock struck 12:00am and I wake up 28. Where did the years go? Did I live in them or did they live me? How did my legs get so long and my confidence so strong? As I lay in a bed not my own, that of a Airbnb owner, […]

We Need Each Other

“Don’t catch feelings!” seems to be the line for the millennial generation.  The phrase is subjective; it’s interpretation varies by the individual. I’m more interested in how we have ALLOWED society to corrupt our minds to go against the very reason God created man and woman.  Each made distinctively to fulfill His purpose but both […]

What’s Your Motive?

When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. 1 Cor. 9:22-23 Ever been […]

I Have Learned to be Content

Contentment isn’t the same as being satisfied. You can be happy in pursuit of what you’re working towards. Paul said in Philippians 4:11 “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.” In order for him to say “I can do all things through Christ who […]

We Run by Faith, not by Sight

Most of us are familiar with this verse [ 2 Corinthians 5:7 ]. I gained a better understanding of this recently as I participated in a 5K Midnight Run. The race started at the gym in the heart of the city filled with bright street lights and the rumbling sounds of vehicles as we crossed blocks. […]

Confidence

Do you have it? And if you don’t, how do you get it? Confidence is the assurance in ones’ abilities that directs his/her thoughts, actions, and inevitably the results thereof. It’s gained by consistently practicing something until you master it. You think MJ became the best in the game without practicing? Absolutely not! Whatever you […]

Phil 4:6-7

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 With the rush of life, sometimes we can become anxious. We are anxious to […]
