What Are YOU Called to Do? Take the Self-Examination Test

Where are you right now? Do you know your purpose? Do you believe you’re doing what you’re called to do? Or are you still in a place of waiting? These are all questions geared to examine where you are in this season of your life. Things are wrapping up in the world around us and we really need to be walking in our purpose or walking towards it by the time Jesus Christ comes back again. It’s time to get serious and prepare yourself in [...]

Watch Your Offenses!

Have you ever been offended by someone? You’re probably thinking, “Okay Courtnaye, is that a trick question?’ LOL! I know…I know…but I have to ask. Trust me, if you haven’t been offended yet, this post will help you when the time does comes.

Don’t Burnout!

Whether you’re experiencing this now or have in the past, when burnout threatens your life, you’ll know. It’s that feeling of complete exhaustion, extreme pressure, and downright overload all wrapped into one as you press to do what needs to be done. It’s like you’re driving 100 miles per hour in the fast lane, knowing that if you don’t slow down you’re going to crash and probably hurt other people in the process! So I caution you…don’t burnout! I’ve been near burnout before. So I [...]

When You Don’t Understand What God is Doing

Overcoming Fear One THOUGHT at a Time

If you think about it, fear starts in the mind. It’s the “what if” or “I don’t know what I would do if” factor. Of course there are many more starter factors depending on what you’re dealing with, but hopefully you’re catching the point. A lot of it starts in the mind. However, sometimes it can begin to take shape in your life after you’ve experienced a particular incident that scared you. When that happens, it has the potential to start a fierce battle in [...]

Becoming a Woman Who QUICKLY Forgives

Now, you might be saying, “Courtnaye, I know how to forgive.” But then I would respond, “Yes. But do you do it quickly?” That’s the major point here. Listen. I know at times, people can do and say things to you in this life that will make your skin boil. However, we have to be women who will make the conscious effort to QUICKLY forgive, in spite of what others do to us. Let me add a little more weight to this principle. In the [...]

God is Calling You…

God is calling you to win souls for Him. It’s time! Jesus is coming soon and when He comes, He will come quickly. But before He does come, you’ve got to do your part. And since you don’t know when, it’s time to start moving. Jesus told His disciples a long time ago, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.” (Matthew 9:37 NLT). He told them this because as He traveled to different cities, the people’s problems were so great. Matthew 10:36 says, [...]

You Are No Ordinary Woman

Do you have a daily To-Do-List? Do you have a monthly or weekly calendar that you keep up with on a regular basis? Are you running around here and there with either your own schedule and/or your kids’ schedules? Lastly, do you ever feel like there’s just not enough hours in your day? I would know…I’m there! I’ll tell you, just the other week, as I was driving my ten year old daughter to her gymnastics class, the Lord said to me…you are no ordinary [...]

Eat the Word

Some of you reading this might be saying, “What?!” LOL! I know! But it’s a real expression. God actually told Ezekiel, “Eat the scroll.” What He was telling him was to eat what He was giving him, so that he would not only have the word for himself, but that he would eat it so he could give the people a message from the Lord. So it may sound weird, maybe, but it’s actually a biblical principle. And today, God is telling us to do [...]
