The Lord gave me a word for a dear sister the other day, and I wanted to share it because even I felt this powerful word resonate in my spirit. The Lord brought to mind the image of a small fish in a big pond and told me to tell her, “You have been feeling…
I was given the opportunity to speak at a church this past weekend for the Sunday Service and the Youth that evening. But it was what happened after the services that had me holding back tears. Women and young girls waited to be loved on by Jesus through me as I listened for His voice…
I was in Nashville for the weekend spending time alone with Jesus when I ran out of toothpaste the night before church. On Sunday morning, I get up early and head to the local pharmacy for some toothpaste. Leading up to the pharmacy I see a Publix, so I make a quick turn into the…
“Your Honor, a brief recess please?” I am by no means a lawyer, but one of my favorite shows, Drop Dead Diva (that I have binge watched many times by the way) is about a model turned lawyer. With that being said, it is to no surprise that I also like the Legally Blonde movies…
Music was blaring in the background in preparation for the Christian concert about to take place. I had left my seat to explore the bookstore to see if I could find my next devotional book since I had some time to spare. My eyes landed on one book, Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders, and I knew…
Here he was, the pastor of the church my husband and I had just received the green-light from the Holy Spirit to begin attending, standing on the stage addressing the accusations being said against him. What is happening? I thought to myself as I watched the pastor become emotional towards the way his own congregation had…
I have to admit, I have been introduced by the Spirit to a new dimension of faith that is new (and sometimes uncomfortable) to me. Faith in general is a hard concept to understand. After all, the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see? Everything about faith is…
We were playing one of his favorite games: Star Wars. He had his light-saber, so did I. I still haven’t grasped the purpose of the game, or the rules he has made up in his sweet little head, but I try my best each time he asks me to play with him. This particular time,…
I was sitting in the back corner of the auditorium in a warehouse like building. The church I had been eager to attend was crowded with rows of people spilling out into the lobby– all worshiping and praising the Lord. The sound of unified voices lifting up the Name of Jesus covered my body in…
If we don’t stop evil, evil won’t stop. We’ve seen evil on display in our country for decades, but 2020 is a year worth reflecting on. Evil loves darkness and operates in darkness and for years we, as Christians, have turned a blind eye to evil because what we “don’t know” or “can’t see” cannot…
Our Nation has covered up the tragic darkness lingering around every corner and in every city for decades. Homelessness, child-trafficking, sex-slavery, drug and alcohol addictions, teenage runaways, orphans and abandoned elderly… but can I really blame the USA? As much as I want to, darkness cannot heal darkness. We need light. For most of my…
I used to believe a lot of things about God that ended up being completely wrong. For instance, I used to believe God couldn’t care less about my sports or petty activities I participated in growing up. I felt a major disconnect with Him– believing He was only concerned about the Church-related activities I participated…
It was a beautiful fall day not too long ago when I was rearranging my outdoor patio furniture to prepare for a counseling meeting I was hosting at my house. The counselor was already on the patio as well as the young girl the counseling was for. As I was setting up the umbrella to…
The radio in our minivan hasn’t worked in a couple of years and it has been one of the best-unexpected blessings for me as a mother. As you’ve probably guessed, the silence in our car rides doesn’t linger long with two young children. Questions, stories, experiences, and laughter come in all topics and types along…
I wanted to take two career paths when I was growing up- become a teacher or become a WNBA basketball star. I would have settled for either because in my eyes, both of them were ranked at the top of my list and nothing else in the world would be able to surpass those career…
