Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. 1 John 5:21 Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

How do I know if God is calling me to do this… now?
Perhaps it is your desire to start a business. Or you want to go back to school. Maybe you want to relocate to a different state. Change careers. Or maybe you’re considering marrying someone. You are convinced that if it were to work, life would finally feel like living on the other side of your …

I’m a teacher! Why and how I switched careers in my later thirties :)
When God Redirects! It all started with some discontent. Ain't nothing like a lil holy discontent to mess up your life 🙂 . Allow me to take you back a bit. I quit college in 2006 because I was pregnant and single and I just couldn't manage the tragedy that was now my life. My …

A story of Courage in Affliction
I've been neglecting the blog. Although I'm sure no one really noticed. Word around journalism town is that blogging is on the decline. It's all about "the video" now they say: Facebook Live, Instagram Live, Persicope (maybe?) and YouTube. That may be so. Unfortunately, God gave me a desire and a passion to write and …
Freedom
I went back into my past and planted a garden there - The memories were dead and dried. And all along the fields Where dreams laid scattered and buried, I gathered up their bones And prayed them back to life. In an old shed I found a rusty tin bucket of tears, Stored up …
To 20-year-old me: “I saw the end.”
Dear sweet broken-hearted girl, You are so smart and talented and brave. And above all else you are beautiful. You are a beautiful soul. No one has ever told you that. But if they did, you probably wouldn't accept it. You spend all your days avoiding mirrors just tearing yourself apart. Your not as petite, …
While You Wait… (Be of Good Courage)
Remember.... This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are …
A Prophetic Word For 2017
As we go into the new year I thought I'd share with you a revelation I received during my quiet time with the Lord a few mornings ago. I wanted God to show me what 2017 would bring. While, 2016 was a good year, there are some things on my "prayer list" still left unchecked. …
God, Is That You? (Hearing God pt. III)
Part III - Ways In Which God Speaks I'm way overdue. I know. I've been procrastinating, finishing college (yay!) job hunting, prepping for graduation and the works. Let's just say the past month has been quite the roller coaster ride (in a good way) and I've been enjoying every minute of it. So didn't nobody …
God, Is That You? (Hearing God Pt. II)
Part II - Conditioning and Positioning Ourselves to Hear From God. So as promised (although I'm a little late but who's watching?) here's the second installment of "God, is that you?" Now I'm no pastor. Or teacher. I'm just a girl who likes to blog. I'm definitely not the resident expert on the Bible or …
