I just felt led to speak on something very personal to me that I feel is on time for you as well. You've heard it a million times. I've blogged about it a couple of times as well. Dear God When? When will it be my turn? When will you come and do for me …

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 …

Father, I have been trying to make sense of all the things that have happened to me this previous year. It's been a painful year.
