One of the most wonderful resources God gave us is the ability to forgive. But it is up to you if and how you use it. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behavior. Forgiveness prevents their behavior from destroying your heart. ~Unknown You’ve all seen the quote, “Life is a circle of good times and bad times…”, […]

To Make A Difference, You Just Have To Care
To care. That’s important. Some would say that to care for others is our primary purpose for being here. We are actually commanded by God to love one another. And it’s not just halfway love or halfway like. He commanded us to love one another as He loves us. A new commandment I give […]
Let Go And Let God
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you stressed out, finding it difficult to get all the bills paid, take care of the kids, take care of the animals and try to be present in a relationship? Or are work things making you crazy? Let Go and Let God. Today’s world is so chaotic. Family responsibilities and […]
Quit Worrying
All of us have them. Haters. The people who secretly or not-so-secretly want to see you fail. They pretend that they want you to be successful, but behind your back, they’re hoping you’ll fail. Don’t worry about them. Quit worrying about the people who are trying to hold you back. God knows how to move […]
Let Your Stress Go
Relax. Take a deep breath. Now, exhale. Take another deep breath. Exhale. Let the stress of the day leave your body as you exhale. Let the stress go and release all your tension. Shake it off if you need to. Tonight, let your stress go. Take a step back and remember everything you’ve accomplished. Remember […]

See The Beauty In The Struggle
Have you ever reached a point where you feel you just can’t go on? You finish one battle only to begin another. You work through one obstacle only to be confronted with another. You leave one closed door only to be met with another. You feel like you are constantly struggling, right? But, I’d wager […]
Never Forget How Far You’ve Come
You’re not where you are by accident. You’re here because you’ve prayed a lot. You’re here because you’re a fighter. You’re here because you don’t know the meaning of “quit”. You’re here because you are strong. My grandmother used to look at me and ask, “You ain’t got no quit in you, do you, girl?” […]
Boundaries
I often read blogs and content of Facebook pages about “setting boundaries”. I see things like, “If you don’t set your boundaries, you’ll get run over” or “Make sure you set those boundaries”. I’ve sometimes thought that those quotes and narrative sounded a little cold, that they sound mean or unkind, but I don’t think […]
No Beauty Shines Brighter Than That Of A Good Heart
All of us have our own perceptions of beauty. We see a beautiful face and we think, “Oh what a beautiful face”. Or we see a really fit, youthful body and we think, “They look so young and fit.” And sometimes our thinking is wistful. We long to be like them, to not have the […]
