Isaiah 46:10 MSG [God Is There Standing] From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul, I’ll do exactly what I set out to do.’ This is a great scripture to meditate on while waiting on our promise to be manifested. All challenges are made up of three things: the problem, the process, and the promise. The process is where many people give up and quit because it can feel as though you’re never coming out of it.

Ruth: Pageantry and Purpose
Ruth is one of my favorite Biblical characters. Her story resonates within me and reminds me that God thought about me before I was even formed in my mother’s womb and that He has a purpose for my life. I take my assignment very seriously and each day I purpose to walk out the plan of God for my life. Today’s post is from the book, Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth, written by my dear friend, Garnet Nowell. Let’s take a look at the lessons we learn from the Book of Ruth. We know the story of how Read More
WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE MIDST OF A STORM?
There are diverse types of storms we all have or will experience. It could be a physical health storm, financial storm, relationship storm, marital storm, or an actual weather-related storm. When it comes to weather-related storms, there seems to be an increase in activity, as well as other types of personal storms you may be experiencing. Even Jesus’ disciples had to deal with storms in their lives. No one is exempt. Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV), Jesus is in the boat with his disciples, sleeping when a storm arises, and the disciples, yes, His disciples become fearful and anxious and wake Him up for Read More
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT: DON’T GIVE UP!
Keep Moving forward, Keep Praising, Keep Praying, Keep Believing, Keep Trusting God, and continue to Thank God, for He is Good, and His Mercy Endures Forever (Psalm 136:1-26 KJV). Why? Because the pressure, the battle, the chaos, and the situation you are enduring is an indicator that the Promise of God is upon you! You cannot quit because someone else is depending on you being in place fulfilling your God Given Purpose, so they will be able to move forward. I am so glad that Jesus did not quit on us!!! Where would we be if Jesus had just decided Read More
Heart Condition: Guard Your Heart
The month of February is the month of love. Love is a matter of the heart. What is the condition of your HEART? What are you doing to guard/protect and keep your heart condition pure, healthy, and whole? Your heart is your life source SPIRITUALLY and PHYSICALLY. When your heart is physically out of kilter, your entire body is impacted. In some instances, you become weak. When you apply the proper nutrients, eat the right foods, and do the right things to fuel your body, your heart thrives. If you fail to properly care for your heart, you will suffer physically because Read More
BEING GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL
Luke 17:12,14-19 GW [12] As he went into a village, ten men with a skin disease met him. They stood at a distance [14] When he saw them, he told them, “Show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were made clean. [15] When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back and praised God in a loud voice. [16] He quickly bowed at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (The man was a Samaritan.) [17] Jesus asked, “Weren’t ten men made clean? Where are the other nine? [18] Only this foreigner came back to praise God.” Read More
LET LOVE RULE: Part 2
Continuing our talk from last month: Allow God’s love to work through you. Love is not selfish and prideful. There is no shame is in pure agape love. Be mature and be the first to forgive and apologize. Remember this: just because he/she did not kiss you before they left the house or didn’t do what was the needful thing to do does not mean that you/I will not or should not embrace him/her throughout the day with a form of communication and love. Because it is not just our conversations, the scriptures say, “we will/can win the unbelieving or Read More
LET LOVE RULE
Early Morning Word Regarding Love 2/1/2016 I have a heart for and desire to see marriages flourish. Please use each day to be there for each other, spend quality time together, and have a discussion with your mate face-to-face. If you are out there on Facebook blogging, posting, or spending more time on Facebook more than you are having FACE-TO-FACE time with your spouse, and everyone and everything has higher priority than your spouse, then you need to check yourself. Marriage is good, and you need to respect your spouse and love them with all that you have within your Read More
TRUST: DO WE REALLY TRUST GOD? IT’S A HEART THING!
TRUST! How do we define TRUST? TRUST is a “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” TRUST is synonymous with FAITH. During this season of newness (new year, new friendships, new vision, new jobs), God is doing a work in our hearts, because it is a heart thing with God (Mark 12:30, Proverbs 4:23). Do we really trust God? We can say a lot with our lips, but our hearts are far from it (Matthew 15:8, Proverbs 23:26). God will free us up from the weight that we carry but we must continue to Read More

Let us intentionally give God THANKS and PRAISE regardless of how we may feel or what is currently going on in our lives. HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! We need to practice giving God THANKS every Read More
