I Would If I Could. I Will When I Can.
Dear Lord, I go back and forth in my mind about the many reasons why none of this makes sense. The truth is that I know that I may be holding on to the ideas of what was, but that does not seem to be enough to deter me. Why? I am definitely not like…

Falling in Love
I wake up thinking about Your love for me. I wake up trying to understand why You love me still. My mind often cannot comprehend, and words fail me when I try my hardest. At this crossroad of WHAT IS and HOW COULD THIS BE, I turn to song. With each chord strummed, I fall…

On The Hill
“On the hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross, the emblem of suffering and shame…” (Bennard, 1913). On the hill, on that Cross, was where the battle for my life was won. On the hill, on that Cross, was where my victory was taken back for me. On the hill, on that Cross, was where…

My Battle Plan
How often do I let what I am doing for God take up the time that I am meant to spend with God? I woke up this morning excited to check out my site, to write, to see if there was any feedback left on the writings I had shared, to continue in this area…

If I could be Jealous
If I could be jealous of anything in this life, I would be jealous of those who came to God (through Christ) early. The pain, loss, misunderstandings, heartbreaks, and wasted time that I could have avoided. All the wasted efforts and trivial pursuits that could have been avoided. Oh boy. I would not be jealous…

That FOUR LETTER word
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). Love… We say it, we think we know it, we give it, and we hope to experience it as we go about our day to day life. Love… That four letter word that seems to be…

Self Concept
I was privileged enough to read a book by one of my mentors (from afar) titled; “Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms.” This book is coauthored by Tim Tebow with A.J. Gregory. I remember the first time I picked up the book, I had to put it down. Not because I could…

Thank You
“I will give thanks to you Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all of your wonderful deeds.” [Psalm 9:1]. This was a year end reflection letter written in 2014. A thank you letter more than anything else. It is now years later, and this letter still resonates. More so now than it…

Why me?
There is a level of confidence needed to live a life of faith Confidence in God, confidence in His word, and confidence in the promises that we find within them. Far too often, I sell myself short, I hinder myself, I get in my own way – because I lack confidence. I look at myself…

The Ephesians 5 Guide
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us, and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:1-2). We must always remember that Jesus was only able to fulfill His ministry because of one thing – He surrendered. He was in constant…

Intentionally Purposeful
“All things are working for my good, cause He’s intentional. Never failing… I don’t have to worry cause He’s working for me” – Travis Greene [Intentional]. Now if you have ever heard this song, you will know that it is the substance of all things fired up in the Spirit. I cannot listen to this…

L I S T E N: Do you hear when He speaks?
Though I often intended to focus on a topic or look at one issue at a time, especially when I was in my quiet time with God, it was as though my mind insisted on running a mile a minute at that precise moment. God has been speaking and though, at first, I was begrudgingly…
