Recently I was given a very valuable test…an examination of my heart. Y’all do know that your heart can deceive you right (Jeremiah 17:9)? I preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ (no surprise). If you know me, you know that I have given my life to the furtherance of THIS gospel. Since ministering is what I was created …
No Thanks, I'll wait…
I remember sitting in a hospital waiting room as a 28 year old, feeling nauseous, weak and lightheaded… basically a tangled up mixture of drama. Oh, I cannot fail to mention that I was trembling…..I did tell you I almost fainted right? The deal was, I had JUST finished trying my best to watch one of my close friends deliver …
Far Away Heart
I received a phone call the other day that rubbed me the wrong way. I didn’t let on and I made sure to give the proper “christian response”. When the conversation ended, I realized that I felt a “certain way” about what had just been said to me and essentially, what I was feeling in my heart did not line …
The Dish On My Ditch…
How quickly I fell tonight…into a religious ditch that is. I was reading the book of Hebrews and when I got to the fourth chapter and the second verse, I was ready to just lie on my back and scream. The Amplified version reads: “For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as …
Fangs of Doubt…
Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt it. Doubt isn’t one of those things that you conquer during one good cry at the altar or one especially fervent prayer. It is something you have to conquer again and again and again AND replace with God’s truth over and over and over AGAIN. I had one of those moments today where …
Beware of the Sanballats!!!
I’m studying the book of Nehemiah AGAIN. I looked through my notes, and yes, I was studying it this time last year. I decided to continue and compare my notes ever so often to see how different my filters are this year and what catches my attention this time around. I love (GOOD) surprises!!! Here I am on chapter two, reading …
Thirsty for Mercy….
Jonah 1 & 2 “I will pay that which I have vowed…” We’ve all done it- we have experienced the glory of God and His loving presence has rested on us, and we’ve responded…”reveal your will for my life”…”make me, mold me”…”have your way with me”….”Lord just send me and I’ll go”. How.many.times.have.we.said.these.things? And we mean it until what He …
Come Quickly God- I'm Thirsty for Relief ~ Kelsi Marie
I have a wonderful band of sisters that I study with. We are called the She Reads Truth community. Talk about hearts that ooze with love! Each member was invited to write and share a devotional for the Friday scriptures during Lent. I love my sisters and I am so excited that we are sharing our hearts with one another. …
She Reads Truth – Psalm 130

Heart Strings…
This is a picture of heart strings. Can you see how fragile they are? These heart strings can break after a deep emotional trauma, causing the heart to lose form and no longer pump blood effectively. Yes, one can literally die from a broken heart. I am posting this because I really want people to consider the impact they have …
