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 […]

I have really high days.  These days are like I am flying.  Everything goes great.  Everything is well with all my family, friends and animals and everything is well with my work.  And then there are days that I “fall”.  These are days when I have something bothering me.  Something may be wrong in my […]

We’ve all had prayers that we’ve prayed over and over again.  But no matter how long or how much we prayed, the situation just didn’t change.  Can you relate?  Maybe you were praying about a family member.  Maybe it was about a spouse.  Maybe you were praying about a job situation.  But the situation stayed […]

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?” […]

Where has respect gone?  It seems to be a distant concept–something people did “back in the day”.  Families don’t seem to have respect among themselves and the way I hear children talk to their parents, parents don’t seem to teach it either.  What’s happened?  Children and young people do not seem to respect each other […]

Did you mother ever say, “Talk less, listen more” or “You can’t just speak anything that comes into your head…THINK first!”  Mine did.  As younger people, we have all made incorrect assumptions, made hurtful judgments, hurt others and we’ve all spoken before thinking. Before you assume, learn the facts.  Before you judge, understand why.  Before […]

I woke up really, really tired this morning.  Okay, I guess it is bad to start out a blog post that way, but it’s true.  I guess we all have those mornings.  Those mornings where we just want to pull the covers back over us, take a deep breath, snuggle in and sleep…and sleep some […]

I don’t think it’s just me.  Is it?  Is it just me that feels this way?  I’ve reached the point in my life where I have very little tolerance for anything but peace.  You may have too.  If you’re reading this and you’re in your 20’s or 30’s, you may not be there yet.  I […]

I hope you are having a blessed Saturday.  I hope you are surrounded by the people you love and cherish, I hope you feel loved and appreciated and I hope you continue to feel this way over the weekend. Most of all, I hope you make memories that you will treasure for a lifetime.  Making […]

I pray that your weekend is blessed and that you are able to rest and have some fun!  Use this weekend to renew your hope and recharge your soul. There are some days that I just feel led to say a prayer.  I may have gotten an email that lets me know that someone needs […]
