The Fruit of Patience: Waiting…
In this life, we could be so impatient. Whether we’re waiting in a line at the store, drive-thru, gas station, or red light; or even for a job, ministry, marriage, or building something; or waiting for a test or trial to pass, we can sometimes be very impatient. And today you might say, “I know right?! However as Christians, God requires us to wait patiently in our circumstances (no matter how small or great). The reason being is because sometimes by us NOT waiting, we [...]
The Power of Confession…Release It!
I’m going to talk about something today that might be a little tough for some, but I believe that in the end, you’ll understand my plight. It’s about confession. Now for some this may be easy, but for others it can be downright complicated, because it’s humbling and revealing. Nevertheless, it’s a powerful tool that can set us free, when we release it. Straight up…confession begins when we open our mouths. It’s about admitting where you truly are. But I have to tell you, its [...]
Got Work? Face Your Opposition with Determination
Many times when I’m getting ready for a big task or assignment from the Lord, it’s like I have this “Face Off” with the enemy. I mean, he seriously tries to create road blocks to hinder God’s plan. Have you ever experienced this before? It comes in all forms like negative people, tough circumstances, and sometimes even when it looks like things are beginning to fall apart at the seams, here he comes. However, during times like these, that’s when we have to recognize this [...]

Friendship: True Love Hurts
Lately, God has been showing me some pretty fresh things about friendship. One of the things I’m learning is that friends can be lifelong, seasonal, and flavorful…like a close friend, close sister, co-worker, friend from school, sister in Christ, mother (as an adult relationship), or even an acquaintance. However, something the Lord has been showing me in this season is that no matter who they are or how long they’ve been in my life, I must have integrity with them. And this means telling them [...]
The Fear of the Lord…What Is It Really?
I know this is a touchy one, because many people get a little mixed up on the difference between the fear of the Lord and fearing God. So we’re going to talk a little bit about this today. I might add that I’m pretty passionate about this one, because I believe it’s so important for the times we’re living in. So let’s dive in. I want to start by saying that “fearing” God…meaning being “afraid” of Him is unhealthy. And this is the initial misconception. [...]
The “Be-Attitudes”
I got up early this morning. My alarm clock went off at 5am. I got up about 5:20 and hit the coffee pot and I’ve been going over my new memory Scriptures. I just learned that the Sermon on the Mount is actually the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12). Wow! After all these years, I’ve read it over and over before and even had to memorize it for women’s Bible study. But that was a quick homework assignment. After that it was gone with the wind. But [...]
