3 reasons God makes us wait

During your waiting season, God does 3 things. He prunes, prepares then promotes. Someone may ask, why does it hurt? Well, pruning is removing anything dead, damaged, or can compete with your growth. Preparation includes stretching ensuring you have room for said growth. Both come with a little pain because here’s the hard truth. Some of you have stuff in your background that’s damaged, dead,…

Spiritual Waiting Room

Sometimes, as Christians, we can become depressed, and feel forgotten or forsaken when things don’t happen right away. We’ll get frustrated when we witness others being blessed with the very things we’ve been praying and preparing for. But what if, maybe, this is your season to wait? You do realize we don’t go right from planting to harvesting, right? There will be a wait. This month God gave me…

What season are you in?

Do you know what season you’re in, spiritually? A lot of times it’s not God isn’t hearing or responding because He’s forgotten us. The issue is, we’re unsure of the season. Contrary to what we have come to know, not every season is a season to reap. If all you’re doing is reaping, when will you plant? When will you rest? When will you be pruned? The same way there are seasons, naturally, we…

This Isn’t Your Grandparent’s Marriage

Three years ago, I had the privilege to be the guest blogger for my friend Pastor David Foster’s blog, The Love Connexion. Although it’s been three years, the post still fits today. So, I wanted to share it here for somebody, whomever you are. Even if it’s not for you, it may be for someone you know. Stop comparing your marriage to others. This is YOUR marriage. My grandparents were married 65…

Say it!

I thought I’d reshare this post from last year. I don’t know who it’s for, but if it’s you, here’s what I need you to say. MY FAITH IS IN GOD, NOT FLESH! Say it with power because I need you to know, the devil is a liar. Whatever has been spoken over and against you, it is a lie and I’ve come with a counterattack declaring … The sickness or disease won’t kill you. You’ll live, even with the…

STOP!

Stop allowing people to force you to be someone you’re not comfortable being! Stop staying in places you’re uncomfortable! Stop holding your peace when doing so hurts you! Stop thinking you HAVE to go, do, be, or give! Stop believing you can’t say no! Stop pouring all of yourself into people, places, and things! Stop thinking you don’t need to rest! Stop acting strong, all the time! Stop…

She had time ... do you?

I thought I’d share this again …She had the house, the finest car, and the custom-made clothes. She was top in her graduating class and her business was booming. She’d made it and vowed to never go back to the place she was raised because it had nothing for her. Sure, she sent money home to her parents, but all the siblings had to know it. Sure, she made the occasional calls, but it was to brag,…

Merry CHRISTmas

In the early morning of Christmas … For those who are crying themselves to sleep, I pray God’s peace will cover you like the warmest blanket until your tears cease and sleep increases. For those who are sitting next to a loved one’s sick bed, I’m praying God’s healing power flows in like a flood healing every broken bone or sick place, swiftly. For those whom depression has a grip on, I’m praying…

Get Up!

Twas the day before Christmas, and all you can find is confusion and misunderstanding in the depths of your mind. Sickness stormed in, death angel claimed some loved ones, bills piling up, depression won’t leave you alone, laid off, your marriage is troubled and your child is in the hospital or jail … what’s merry about this Christmas, right? Here’s what I’ve grown to understand, things will…

Will you go?

When the Israelites were finally released by Pharaoh, God could have taken them the shortest route to the Promised Land. He didn’t though. Want to know why? Because they would go through Philistine territory, their enemy, and God knew if they were faced with a battle that early on, they’d probably change their minds and return to Egypt. A place of bondage and hard labor. Yes, God could have…

My first …

Guess what! 🤗 No, guess. Okay, I’ll tell you. I’ve released my first audiobook!! Last Call is now an audiobook!! 😊 I’ve been praying about this process because there are some books I want to record, yet I took a leap of faith. Last Call is the result of that leap. Y’all it’s hard finding the right voice to convey words written, for me, because these books aren’t just books, they’re ministry.…

Don’t miss the preparation …

Here it is, another Monday. The last one in November, 34 days before this year ends, and somebody is more lost by the minute. Maybe it’s because you’ve taken more losses than wins, this year. Maybe it’s because you’ve been sick, a lot, this year. Maybe it’s depression, a dark season that seems to have no end, or you’re simply tired of everything and everybody. Tired of having to scrape together…

Holiday Grief

Grief will make you curse and hate the holidays. Grief will have you contemplating staying in bed. Grief will make you feel guilty about enjoying the holidays, you love. Grief – a deep feeling of sorrow. Grief is heavy enough on its own without you adding anything to it. Instead, think about your loved ones who are no longer here. How did they spend the holidays? Truly think about it. How…

Are you grieving properly?

Last night, we continued our Bible Study Series, Weigh-In. The topic is grief because I’ve found that grief, when not managed properly, can become a weight. In John 16, Jesus was preparing the disciples for His death, but they missed it. Sometimes, our loved ones can be preparing us too, but we’ll miss the preparation being focused on losing the person. Are you grieving properly, especially…

Conform vs Transform

I shared this to my #DearSis Vlog, but I felt the need to share part of it here. Romans 12:2 tells us, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” ‭Here’s the thing. We are in the world, which means we already look like the world. Yet, it doesn’t mean we have to talk, act,…

Someone is dying while someone will live from the donation of their organs. Someone is contemplating suicide while someone else is celebrating this being the best time of their life. Someone is closing the doors of their worship center and a new…
