I'm sure sure glad Jesus didn't call ten thousand angels on the day of His crucifixion. Happy Resurrection Day. His resurrection means so much more than we often hear or even speak about. Today I'm reminded that dead things can rise again through Christ. We have the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead living in us. It's time to believe that no matter what we may face in life we must let

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. May this year bring unexpected blessings and favor. May you find the joy that is soo deep that no trial can disturb it and a peace that even you can't understand. I love New Years, new beginnings, yet just enough reflections on the old that keeps you reminded of just how great God is. Last year 2010 was one for the books. I have learned so much about myself and about the

I like the way my 2 year old says the word beautiful. He just says be-u. I think he is a genius, for one of the most effective way for beauty to be expressed is to be you. The Bible warns against covetousness, but I find so many of us can become driven by our desire to have what someone else has or look like someone else. Improving yourself is a good thing. Work to better some aspect of your life

The first step to success.... admit you failed. Why are we so scared of failure???? It is not something to aspire to nor even like but admittedly, the fear of failure is one of the most powerful cords of bondage that can keep us from making the first baby steps to success. Talk about baby steps. What would happen if a baby falls after his/her first step and decide that they are too ashamed to try

Have you ever set out to accomplish a task and find that your life suddenly zip into busy mode with things that pull you away from your original task. Sidetracked with the 'urgent unimportant'. I have been going through this with my fledgling business. Unfortunately I'm being sidetracked with too much drama spurred on by others who think they should be the directors of my life. Solution...

Genesis 39: 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (KJV) What is stopping you from shining? Today I thought about the story of Joseph as I read a quote from Marianne Williamson regarding 'our deepest fears'. Sometimes we are afraid to shine even when life is good but I thought of Joseph because he obviously was shining

I heard something yesterday that resonated with me. A Pastor was mentioning the fact that usually the enemy attacks dreams or divert our purpose most when it is in the infancy stage. He was comparing the fact that Satan tried to kill Moses and Jesus in their infancy stage. The stage where they couldn't help themselves. The Devil knew what they would become and he knows our potential and that of

My heart goes out to the people of Haiti. My many thoughts are shut up within me though. I pray for my Haitian friends (I have several) and their families. My island have been having much ashing from it's volcano and people had been complaining. Now everyone is reminding anyone they meet that we have nothing to complain about. The power of comparison. I can truly say I was actually accepting

Thank God for the Spirit of truth. Thank God for His Holy Word. Thank God that your name is written in the Book of life. I have been through so much warfare over these past weeks. Starting this blog seemed to make it worst. That's alright, I know who fights for me. I choose to trust even when I don't understand. I pray you do too.

Wow, 2009 is about to pass away. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL. Remember even if you don't keep your resolutions every day is a new day and God's mercies are renewed every morning. So you can begin again every day. I pray that God's blessings and favor be with you throughout this year.

I hope you had a blessed and Christ filled Christmas. I keep thinking on the reasons I know Christ is real and in my life on a personal level. When I think about how far I have come and the changes I see in me, I know Christ has come. When I think about the temptation to retaliate in the worst ways to those who have hurt me and yet I resist, I know Christ has come. When I consider the mistakes I

In my mind I am singing, "Great is your mercy towards meeee". It's a new day. Last night I praised God inspite of and today I must praise Him for His tender mercies and compassion that never fail. Truly I'm alive and in my right mind and joyful because God kept me. I want to remind you that the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Aaahhh, as I listen to Marvin Sapp, "I Never would have made it without You" I can testify. My life has been plagued with storms this year. It seems like on too many people in my life want me in the gutter messed up, put down, dragged down and discouraged. But GOD I never could have made it, never could have held up, never could have forgiven, let go, move on without YOU. Would somebody say Amen.

Have you ever stopped to notice the power of your thoughts. Check yourself. Ever so often stop and check your mood, attitude, atmosphere and then try and recall your mindset for the moments before the check. Whatever you set your mind on will significantly affect your emotions and attitude. I'm in the process of learning to be mindful. For me that entails purposefully concidering what I'm

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. Proverbs 29:5 Last night I was watching the movie version of Pilgrim's Progress with my husband. One small part stuck with me after. It was when Christian and Hopeful met Flatterer. What left an impression on me in the allegory was that this character was not some smooth talking turkey. Oh no, that would have been easy to spot. The

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 I saw a sad sight today and my heart is so heavy I must write about it. I was driving along with my mom and kids and we passed a man walking at the side of the road. I thought to myself, "he looks vaguely familliar". As if reading my thoughts (or realising that I didn't wave to the individual) my mom informed me of who

The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous would be delivered. Proverbs 11:9 NIV Have you ever met a hypocrite????? Too much to count huh? Even in the church? Sad but true and they usually command a position of notariety. Think I've cross the line in saying that, weeeell check out this verse where Jesus himself was addressing religious leaders of his

Well it seems like my words are being tested, but I'm thankful for that. You cannot expect promotion without being tested. So I've been having some days that left up to my old ways, would leave me down and disgruntled. I just keep fighting against going under. You see, I have come to realise that even my attitude in the midst of a painful ordeal, is a choice. I sure have had some days of pain

Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and He shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. Deuteronomy 28 : 47- 48 I have read the Bible

Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by your name. Jeremiah 15:16 NKV So you prayed and identified your joy stealers. I'll veer off to encourage those that feel they have been hit way too hard to even think of joy. Maybe you are dealing with a death, divorce, chronic or fatal illness, or anything that you find

I'm so guilty. Yes I'm one who has claimed that the joy of the Lord is within me and quoted a few scriptures to back me up, but not even my own self could find that joy if I went a searching. With all the promises in the word of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit why is it true "joy" is so hard to detect in some Christians? Well I'll just speak for myself, my joy was stolen. No, I'm not
