Look again

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.                           Isaiah 43:18-19…

What your life says about u

"Those who believe in the son of God have the testimony of God in them." 1 John 5:10 What does my life say about me? I've been thinking about this for a few days now. If someone would have told me I'd be living the life I'm living, I probably would not have believed them.…

Raising Kingdom Kids

"Mommy, are you going to tear my butt [up]", were the words that came from my backseat .....words from my 2-year old daughter. I had just picked her up from the babysitter's house and for the second day in a row was informed that she was hitting.....and the fact that she found it funny was…

Untitled ( my feelings)

I cried today. Not just small tears, either. I cried, bawled, gave it all to Jesus.....and do you know what's wrong? Absolutely nothing..... It started early this morning. In the wee hours of the morning, I was in bed listening to "God is here" by Karen Clark Sheard. The next thing I know my body…

The day after……

Now that the clock has struck 12, a new day begins,  and our official "day" is now over, I want to offer my sentiments on Mother's Day. I certainly don't need a day to feel appreciated, but this year has been one to reflect upon. Anyone close to me knows that I'm not a big…

God’s timing is Perfect

As I sat in McKenzie Arena this weekend listening to the commencement speech for the 2017 graduating class, I couldn't help but reflect on what the speaker was saying. "There is no better moment than right now!" For the students he was addressing , that statement may not have meant much; but to me, it…

Let Her Live

Today, we laid my great-grandmother, Nevada Watkins, to rest. We said goodbye to her body for the last time. I had the honor and privilege to do a tribute to her at the funeral today. She meant too much to not have one.It was hard, but I'm built for this. I decided to use this…

Who’s crying for you?

I am in my early 30s and just recently took to this writing habit....I've always loved writing. I have always had a passion for journalism. I love taking pictures ; however, I somehow did not decide to pursue it. I think it's because I didn't want the fun to be taken out of it. Writing…

A Price to Pay

I'm in a waiting season. I've been in this season for about 2 years now. For some people, this stagnant period of sitting still is horrendous- the worst thing EVER. Yet, for me,  there's a sense of Peace and contentment that comes along with it. I've been a Lady in waiting before. I have had…

Who is this Virtuous Woman?

Proverbs 31 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. I love to read about the Proverbs 31 woman.…
