Time and time again we see tragedy strike a community through one natural disaster or another. It breaks my heart to see homes destroyed, schools torn apart, lives taken and catastrophe scattered all around. I have learned that things can be replaced but a life cannot. My husband is extremely sentimental so, I do understand how torn a person can be about evacuating in times of crisis. The unfortunate truth is that we often stay trapped in our own world, facing problems alone and rarely calling out for help. It's ok to not have it all together. We are human after all! Devastation and Natural Disasters teach us a valuable lesson if we slow down long enough to absorb it.... Communities rise! We feel the pain of our neighbor. All walks of life, religion, ethnicity and gender come together to accomplish one common goal and that is survival . In a world far from this one, we borrowed sugar from our neighbor. We had tea with our neighbor. We invited our neighbor to d...

Prayer meetings both corporately and privately have become an obsolete idea in todays society. ... Why is that? ...... Do we still believe God is in control? ......... Do we believe he can alter our situation for good? We have to be careful to keep balance in our spiritual walk through worship, the word, prayer, fasting and daily devotion. We are only 2 steps from our miracle! We must 1st listen and 2nd we must obey! In John 2:1-5 we see this principal in action:   "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, they have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour has not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." Through vs. 5 & 6 we see a great respect and submission. Although, the Mother of Jesus could've s...

The wisdom I experience every Wednesday night as I listen to my Bishop teach completely blows my mind! Everything I need, in the moment I need it is right there and it's up to me to apply these principals to my life. Last nights scripture reference was... Colossians 3:15 "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful," We must allow the peace of God to not only rule but govern in our hearts! Remember that Satan does not have the final say! He only has power where we allow him to have it! Even during your worst situation, when you feel all hope is gone and there is no way out, God is there! Our peace is in God! John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Comfort, peace & solace is not found in the world, or even in the people we love. It can only be found in Christ.....

1 Corinthinas 13:4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” My hope is through breaking down this scripture by using some possibly outlandish scenarios that you can learn how to apply a love like God intended to your marriage.     When I don’t understand … Love is patient! I’ve asked him a million times to take out the trash. Why am I still doing it? Honey, eventually he’s going to catch on but better than disrespecting him; treat him with love. Keep cooking, cleaning and taking care of his kids without complaining and trust me, he will soon see how great not only your love but your respect is for him and he will in turn say   “Hey, Babe is there anything I can...
