Have you ever tried leading someone to salvation, and your words falling flatter than a dried-up, twice run over pancake crumbling in the blazing hot sun? I asked this question to my Sunday School Group this year and I was surprised at the responses. Not a single person had been successful in sharing the Gospel……
“Basically Christian” is not Christian… it’s false religion. Last week I was speaking with a familiar friend at her house who was curious about spiritual warfare and prayer strategy. Towards the end, she was very intrigued and wanted to learn more, however, I asked her to define her faith because prayer apart from Jesus is…
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…
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…
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…
Late last night, my husband and I grabbed our dinner and headed to the living room where we usually watch an episode of The Office while we eat. However, instead of watching The Office, we decided to turn on the news and fill our minds with the latest and greatest updates on the coronavirus. We…
For those of you who may be unaware, I am fasting completely from social media platforms for the full 2020 year. How has it been so far? Well, let me just tell you. When I first entertained the idea of removing myself entirely from social media, I lightheartedly told myself I would never make it…
My husband and I still play those silly games we used to play as children. You know, the “What if you won the Lottery?” or the “If you could spend your entire life in one location, which would you choose?” Typically our responses stay the same since we are both stingy and are not willing…
At first, I wasn’t too concerned. There was only one significant mole hill I could see, and it was close enough to our neighbor’s fence that my yard was not really affected. Over the course of a week though, the moles in the backyard began to move quickly into other areas, destroying the grass everywhere…
It was a peaceful sunrise. The sun illuminated the sky with colors of bright pinks, blended oranges, deep purples, and soft blues. I heard the morning birds singing and the wind brush against the trees. In that moment I wondered what it would be like to spend my life pursuing more moments like these. I…
When Sharing isn’t an Option
One morning in Florida as I was walking along the shoreline of the ocean, I noticed an older woman headed in my direction. As she walked closer, she smiled and said, “It’s nice to see you out here so early each morning.” I smiled and shared with her how special my mornings are because mornings…
