Be Free: Contentment

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water..." My motto for 2018 is #FreeToFly. As I sit and think about the great things God continues to do…

John 1:5 - "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." How are you is a statement people habitually ask only to get the casual response of, "Good, and you?"... But this evening, I'm curious to know how are you really during this holiday break? If I can be honest,…

Be Free: Let Go…

Romans 12:2 - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God" NKJV (emphasis added) I am still at a place of breaking free to become the woman that God has called me to be.…

“Stop…and LOOK…”

  Yesterday, my daughter and I were out hoping to buy a new car before church. We had on our matching shirts and jeans. As we sat in the lobby waiting to hear from someone, I looked her over. Her hair was messy. Her skin was dry. And she didn't look...happy. I looked at me.…

Psalm 27:10 - "Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close." My daughter has been going in my woman cave, also known as my prayer closet, lately writing her own prayers! She posted one the other day that practically floored me: "FATHER God, Thank you for this day You…
