Every year we come to the special season when we give thanks. We share gifts.  We bake sweet treats. We simply love and have compassion on those who are less fortunate.  I would be lying to you if I said I did not enjoy receiving because we all take pleasure in opening a gift or getting a compliment. However.... How much better does it feel to give those gifts and compliments ? It is truly rewarding! When we say Jesus is the reason  for the season, we mean more than  "it's the time we celebrate His birth."  It means; this is a special time for us to let His light shine.  It's a time for us to give without expectation of receiving.  It's a time to spread his love & cheer.  Many times a simple act of kindness is all a person needs to open their heart to God. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV) There is perhaps no time we shoul...

I've never posted from another blog before but I felt this blog needed to be shared. I am a young Pastor's Wife and I have watched over the past 5 years as many in my generation have fallen pray to the tricks of the enemy which has led to the destruction of their ministries.... Why not be proactive? We know that when the Devil launches attack he aims for the gut punch! We have to fight for our family harder than we have before! Be constantly in the spirit of prayer and follow God's will as closely as you can. It's well known that certain women are drawn to men in power. Society tells us girls that value the sanctity of marriage; we're old fashion and need to change with the times. "It's just flirting, there's nothing wrong with that"... I can assure you that flirting with a married man no matter what day and age it is only makes you look desperate, weak and following a path of destruction that only the Devil would lead you down. I usually ...

The words of this songs spoke so deeply to my spirit today! There are times we just give up because we feel lost and alone. Greater is He that is within me! When you're up against a wall and your mountain seems so tall And you realize that life's not always fair You can run away and hide, let the old man decide or you can change your circumstances with a prayer. When everything falls apart praise His name. When you have a broken heart raise your hands and say Lord, You're all I need, You're everything to me and He'll take the pain away. When it seem you're all alone praise His name. When you feel you can't go on just raise your hands and say, Greater is He that is within me and you can praise the hurt away if you'll just praise His name You can overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of your testimony You'll see the darkness go as your faith begins to grow.

" I Get On My Knees" There are days when I feel the best of me is ready to begin Then they're days when I feel i'm letting go and soaring on the wind Cause i've learned in laughter or in pain how to survive I get on my knees, I get on my knees There I am before the love that changes me See I don't know how but there's power when i'm on my knees I can be in a crowd or by myself or almost anywhere When I feel there's a need to talk with God, he is Emmanuel When I close my eyes, no darkness there There's only light I get on my knees, I get on my knees There I am before the love that changes me See I don't know how but there's power in the blue skies, in the midnight When i'm on my knees There is a sweet presence I feel every time I hear this song. I was able to relate and let these words heal a broken place at a young age. Even now if I need to be reminded that I have a friend who will love at all times and never let me down... I can l...

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 t...

Keep Calm And Mommy On On Mother's Day, I give honor to my husband and 2 boys... Without them I wouldn't be a mom!! They make me who I am and give me reason to do what I do! The best way I can think of to describe what happened to my life almost 7 years ago is miraculous & magical. Everyday hasn't been easy but I wouldn't trade one moment!  " My home is filled with toys and has fingerprints on everything. It's never quiet and my hair is usually a mess. I'm always tired but there is always love and laughter here. In twenty years my children won't remember my house or my hair but they will remember the time we spent together and the love they felt. Your children only get one childhood so make it a good one". -Author Unknown In your children's eyes you are the center of the universe!  So, don't be too hard on your self, your kids think you're amazing! I want to be a mom that my children see as selfless. I want to focus more on them and...

"Respect Your Elders" is a phrase most of us grew up hearing on a daily basis. I know I did!! It's really not a confusing statement or one that takes much explanation. However, I think somewhere along the way we stopped teaching it and stopped applying it. This phrase does not only apply to children! You know I've learned in my short life that an "elder" is not a really old person, barely moving with one foot in the grave, but an elder is anyone over you, teaching you and yes those that are older than you. I don't mean a 14 year old telling a 6 year old what to do or using the word "elder" as a power play. This is what Dictionary.com says; Elder: 1. Of great age; older. 2. Of higher rank; senior. 3. Pertaining to former times. 4. An influential member of a tribe or community, a superior. Now, even dictionary.com will tell you "Much that was forbidden by "elder" custom is accepted today"! Now that is for a whole ...
