True Love Never Fails

I spent my morning in prayer and reflection. I realize that there are days when you are surround by thousands of people yet you are surviving on your own. We allow our head to clog with the struggles of day to day life....

Sometimes, we just need to have a little talk with Jesus!

He is our safe haven! The one we can bare our soul to and yet He will still hold you close with a comforting presence and be your best friend.

Sometimes, we have to learn the hard way that we can't always share our feelings, vent, have a different opinion, be transparent, or just talk freely with anyone but Jesus! 

The carnal flesh of people causes them to judge you, or come down on you when you have a bad day and need to talk/vent. 
Having a bad day doesn't make you a bad person. 
I also heard a preacher say:
 "Just because we have a different opinion or don't agree doesn't mean I hate you." 

Be careful how you react to someone that you don't agree with! Your actions could hurt them without you realizing it! 

We are all imperfect people! 

You don't have to make someone feel like a low down reject with your body language alone just because you think they're wrong! 

My Bishop has told our church countless times;
It's not our place to make anyone feel worthless, dumb, under educated or like a rank sinner. Sometimes, all anyone needs is to be heard and understood. Instead of feeling that their way of thinking is crazy, misguided and just completely wrong.

Maybe, that bad day can be turned around by just 1 conversation?

 I know we should have a safe place of freedom to air our differences as humans but I've found no matter how safe you think you are to "talk".....

prayer is the place to go. 

God's love surpasses that of any human and you will always find safety in talking to Him. The reason Gods love is never ending is because He's the one that died for you! When you're trying desperately to purge your mind, body and soul through prayer and fasting; everyone around you can not be sympathetic to your cause because they aren't experiencing your pain but God already has.

In your darkest, loneliest hour know that He is with you. It's sometimes difficult to take comfort in that but I assure you it's true. Serving God can be a lonely path and it's not always easy but it's much better than the alternative. Today, I drank my coffee and saw:

"Love endures all things"

I needed that reassurance today. I needed to know that God is here with me. We are all human and flawed by flesh but Gods love knows no bounds! 

I am thankful and grateful that I can turn to Him when I'm tired, lonely and have no where else to go! 

I believe that He is always here! I know that he hears my cry! I always remember that just a little talk with Jesus makes it right!

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's]  love . ... I remember singing  Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means  something that can't be understood; a  billow  is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation.  It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get.  I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
