Another confession: In my twenties I spent most of my income on clothes and shoes. I could EASILY not repeat an outfit at church during a year’s time or not wear something for years and come back to it. One time I gave away 30 pairs of black heels and had plenty pairs of black heels left over….(notice I didn’t even …
So Right I Was Wrong…
I had a really bad habit that came from a very sincere place. Because I didn’t want to deal with negative or painful emotions in a way that is unbiblical, I found myself making it a habit to not deal with them at all. I know how dangerous and destructive the spirit of offense is. I noticed how some people …
Godly Character Needs Giftwrap…
I had an insightful weekend. Sunday night I ended up in the gospel according to Matthew. I was actually DRIVEN there by my desire to please God in the midst of a frustrating circumstance. When lines get blurry, I have to go to scripture to have my lenses adjusted. We are admonished by Jesus to bless those who curse us….to LOVE …
It's OVER!!!
So, there’s been road work by my home for the past 22 months. The detours have caused delays and visitors to the area to become lost. Businesses have complained about the losses in profits – it has just been a mess! The kind of mess that had me checking the city’s website for a completion date and always noticing it …
Love Levels
Human love has levels. Often times we say someone doesn’t love us….or else they wouldn’t have done “this or that”. In the context of being treated with respect and loyalty consistently, sometimes the person does love you, they just don’t love you ENOUGH. They love you or what you do for them in the sense that they would cry if …
I'm Unraveling….Join Me!!'
I’m a planner. I like order. I create forms, checklists and systems to make my life flow easier. I write things down and organize. I believe in preparation. There is so much beyond my control, so I try my best to make sure that what is in my control is taken care of and properly planned. If things go awry, …
Cooperating While Waiting….
Some of you have been victims of a very condemning culture. You have been told you are still waiting for _________________ , because you aren’t ready yet, aren’t deserving yet, haven’t prayed enough yet, been obedient enough yet… While that may be true for some, it isn’t true for ALL. Some people are obedient, do believe and are smack dab …
To The Open Heart on Valentine's Day….
To the Open Heart This Valentine’s Day…. I was talking to one of my brothers in the Lord last night and he was sharing with me a recent revelation God gave to him about true Godly manhood and the masculinity revealed through responsibility. Divine masculinity that isn’t being taught and is missing in too many adult males around us. He …
Who Remembers Jordache?
I was just thinking today about how much I hate INSECURITIES. They are such tricks and tools of the enemy. If we never come in to full agreement with what God says about us or who God says that we are, we will never live the life, steward the ministry or take the territory for God’s kingdom that Christ died …
"1 Workout @ A Time"
I have never been more cognizant of my health than I am now, as I stare down the hallway at 40…mid-life…. the age stuff begins to happen if you allow it to. As a youth, I played sports. My freshman year in high school, I lettered (Varsity Volleyball). During my college years I met a friend who was able to …
