Laying A Good Foundation

It’s interesting how often the foundation of a building gets overlooked.  One walks up to the second floor of a mall and doesn’t think “I sure hope this floor holds up underneath me”.  No, one more than likely thinks, “I sure hope my hubby doesn’t mind that I buy this Coach purse” :).  Often we… Continue reading Laying A Good Foundation

When Sparing Change Hinders the Gospel

Her dirty blonde hair hung limp at her shoulders.  Baggy, dark clothes falling loosely on her frame.  With no shame or hesitancy she made her way to me.  “Can you spare $.25?  I got to get to the bus.”  She was a little jumpy but I could not attribute that to drug use…could just be… Continue reading When Sparing Change Hinders the Gospel

Love & War

There are life circumstances that can deeply affect us without us even knowing it.  They can shape our interactions with others and our perception of reality for the rest of our lives.  As I continue to grow and mature, I’m learning about such circumstances and the wounds that ensue from their occurrence.  Understandably, when my… Continue reading Love & War

Sex is Worth the Wait.

Sunday evening, just as I anticipated, I found myself surrounded by beauty.  Glistening legs, sparkling eyes, thick, alluring hair of various textures and styles.  Beautiful brown women donning dresses ranging from cute cocktails to elegant formal wear.  Brothers in fine suits and attire with crisp, clean locks or heads freshly cut were a site to… Continue reading Sex is Worth the Wait.

The city of Tyre will come with a gift, People of wealth will seek your favor. All glorious is the princess within her chamber; Her gown is interwoven with gold.… Continue reading My Own Personal Cinderella Story

Signs, Miracles, and Wonders

Yesterday I witnessed a miracle and I almost missed it.  After fellowship, most everyone in attendance loitered around enjoying the exchange of brotherly love.  One thing I love about attending a small church is the opportunity to really get to know the members and become a family.  I had a few things to get done… Continue reading Signs, Miracles, and Wonders

Golden Calves, Cookies & Idols

I’m coming into the understanding that God often asks His children to do stuff that’s just way too hard. Impossible in fact.  If we do it in and of ourselves that is… I found myself frustrated, discouraged and battling condemnation this weekend when I fell into some old unhealthy thought patterns.  Holy Spirit was pointing… Continue reading Golden Calves, Cookies & Idols

Crying Out

At the prompting of a fellow sister in Christ I am reading Nehemiah.  This story touches me on many levels and speaks to the magnificence of Christ.  I am moved by Nehemiah’s sensitivity to the heart of God and his desire to act on what he knows to be true.  He was not just a… Continue reading Crying Out

In the Secret Place

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” How quickly we forget the lessons Christ has taught us in the past.  The lessons of faith and trust.… Continue reading In the Secret Place
