When things that are out of your control or others control do you get upset and take it out on people? Do you explode if you don’t get your way? We all go through situations that we really don’t want to be bothered with but it is how you go through them that makes all the difference. I can remember many years ago I was flaying back to Savannah and the flight was timed where … Continue reading
When someone goes through something bad you always hear people trying to give them advice that time will heal them but is that even true? I would have to say that it is 100% wrong advice because time never heals. It is what you do with that time that makes healing possible. If you have bad things happen to you in and you never deal with what happened thinking that time will eventually heal your … Continue reading

What do you do when you feel called by God, but it is completely the opposite direction of where you are going? Some people don’t believe that God will change your direction, but I know this to be true. Many times you are working toward your dreams, but it is not the path where God is trying to lead you. I have read many stories where people have been called and, at that moment, they … Continue reading
What do you do when things don’t go as planned? You move forward, I hope. You can’t allow things that happen to change who you are, because who you are isn’t that particular situation but who you are is in Christ. When you are in Christ you can roll with the punches as they come. Some of those punches may sting in life, but you still have to move forward in Faith. Here is an … Continue reading
Sometimes when God calls you, you have to burn your old life. What would you do if God told you that he had a better direction for you but you had to quit what you were doing and follow him? That is exactly what Elisha did! He burned his plows, cooked all his meat, and then followed Elijah. 1 Kings 19:21 – So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and … Continue reading
So many people work so hard at protecting their identity from identity thieves, but they forget the biggest thief of them all and that is satan. He creates lies that you believe and steals who God called you to be. Remember, do not allow who you think you are to stop you from becoming who God called you to be. If you are a Christian then you are worthy of his love. There is nothing … Continue reading
A lot of people believe that being vulnerable means that you are weak, when in reality the opposite is true. It takes courage to be vulnerable. You will never live your true self until you can be vulnerable. I have to be honest, I don’t know any other way to be as I have always been that way. I was watching an Oprah Show on OWN and she was interviewing Dr. Brené Brown author of … Continue reading
I was watching one of the Oprah Super Soul Sundays Shows on OWN and she was interviewing Dr. Robin Smith, author of the book Hungry. She talked about being emotionally anorexic and I was like now that is a powerful statement. So, I then thought about being spiritually anorexic using the same analogy. What do people who are anorexic do? They starve themselves because of a lie that they believe within themselves that they are … Continue reading
Earlier today I was in a conversation on Facebook where a woman proclaimed that she is where she is in life only because of herself. She said that she alone gets the credit and no one else. She also called me less of a man because I believe that I have had guidance in life from mentors over the years. She even believes that no person since she became an adult has had any influence … Continue reading
