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?” […]

Happy Weekend, My Friends!  I hope you have a blessed one.  No matter what your week was like, try to slow down and spend some time just being this weekend.  Don’t try to get too much done, don’t overextend yourself.  Relax and enjoy some peaceful, slow time this weekend.  Shut off all the noise from […]

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 […]

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 […]

We all have those hard times when we feel like we’re drowning.  And when we come up for air, even more tubs of water are poured on us and we just can’t seem to catch our breath and get out of the drowning situation.  All of us have those days.  We may be dealing with […]

I know you do it.  I know you do it because that’s the kind of person you are.  Even when you are going through your own storm, even when you are at your darkest hour, you help and bless someone else. Your greatest test is when you are able to bless someone else while you […]

I hear it all the time, “Live in the present.”  “Make the most of this moment.”  “Let go of the past.”  “You only have right now.”  I’m sure you hear the same quotes or very similar quotes too.  But how many of us actually do it?  How many of us live in this very moment? […]

I pray that your weekend is blessed and that you are able to rest and have some fun!  A lot of the Country is still experiencing record low temperatures so let’s keep them in our prayers. There are some days that I just feel led to say a prayer.  I may have gotten an email […]

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 […]

I’ve learned.  A lot.  And I learn every day and I pray that I continue to learn every day until the day I die.  I never, ever want to be at a place where I stop learning.  Isn’t that what life is all about?  Learning? In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve […]
