This morning was wild. I woke-up with my mom telling me she had to take my godmother to the hospital because she was experiencing extreme vertigo. Five hours later, my mom returned only to get a phone call from my grandma telling us she thought she might be having a stroke. It turns out she…
The Promises of Your God
God makes promises. His promises are life to those who have forgotten how to live. His promises are hope to those who have been crushed in defeat. His promises are a gift to those who have been robbed of much. His promises are kept and never leave His mouth without fulfilling its purpose. Have you…
The Undeserving Gift of Peace
I have been overwhelmed again. This year, I have been praying for God to give me more clients in my job because it has been a hard year financially. I was hoping that maybe He would give me a new client every other month; I need a space between clients because of the workload. Unfortunately,…
Being Brave
Lately, I have noticed a pattern in the media revolving around being brave – a pattern I like to call “The Movement of Awakening Courage”. From Disney’s movie “Brave”, to Taylor Swift singing “Shake It Off”, you can see empowerment is everywhere. Do you remember the Sound of Music? I used to love that movie…
Love Lessons: My First Relationship
Looking back at the year 2014, I wanted to share with you an area of my life where God did some tremendous training – my first relationship. Being in a relationship is a lot different than we are conditioned to believe. Many TV shows and movies portray relationships that involve drama, lying, betrayal, and love…
When You Give God Your Day
It all started on Sunday. I woke up that morning to a whisper in my ear. The voice said, “Daughter, give me this day. Turn off your phone, your computer, and your TV, and let me plan today.” With the haze of sleep still over me, I rubbed my eyes and asked if this was…
God’s Voice is the Sweetest Song
Music is amazing. I love music. I am a musician, but I have always loved music even before I learned how to play an instrument. I listen to music while I sleep, while I work, while I clean, when I cook, etc. It always helps to set my mood, depending on what I am doing.…
Sickness Needs To Go. Pronto.
Right now, I am in the end stages of this flu/cold thing that I have been battling this week. Let me tell you, it is such a relief to be feeling normal again. However, being sick has inspired me what to write about today. Sickness in any form, whether minor like a cold or something…
Examining Love: Love is Kind and Not Rude
It’s not often that I find myself thinking, “Hm. I could either be really kind right now, or really rude”. Kindness vs. Rudeness isn’t so much a situational thing as it is an everyday lifestyle thing. That is what I think can make it so easy to gradually slip out of an attitude of kindness…
God Wants to Restore Your Family
“God Wants to Restore Your Family” is what I posted on Instagram this week. Now when I say “restore,” I’m not talking about just bringing separated parents back together or siblings moving back home, although I’m not saying He won’t do that either. I believe God wants to do something deeper than just physically restoring…
You Can Trust God With Your Heart
Today on Instagram I posted “You Can Trust God With Your Heart”. I am going to share some of my testimony today that talks about this. I was raised by my mom and grandma. Growing up, my dad did not play a big part in my life. When I was little I saw him more…
A Thought on Thoughts
Last week was Thanksgiving and it was DELICIOUS (the food, not the holiday). I made some yummy vegan/gluten-free dishes, Baked Veggies & Quinoa and Pasta with Spinach. So good and healthy too! I’m actually going to post the recipes soon for both of them. I tried doing this Pumpkin Bar dessert thing… it came out….interestingly, so let’s…
