Choose Compassion in Every Situation!

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

Does Time Really Heal?

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

When God’s Calling is NOT Your Direction?

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

When Things Don’t Go As Planned?

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

The Courage to be Vulnerable

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

Are You Spiritually Anorexic?

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

Are You Living a Self-Made Life?

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

Bondage Will Destroy You BUT In Christ you are FREE!

There are so many people who believe that following Christ keeps you in bondage and they just want to be free but that is so far from the truth. Bondage comes when we sin. We will be the most free when we are living fully for Christ. Any choices you make that involve any kind of sin create a bondage within your mind and soul. It is this bondage that will tear you down. Many … Continue reading

Taking Out the Trash!

Why do you take out the trash? It is trash right? What happens when you take the trash out? Do you ever go back and check on it to make sure it is at the dump? How do you know the garbage people took it there? Do you even care? Of course not then why do you do that with your past? Shouldn’t you treat your past the way you treat your trash? You should … Continue reading

Unless you have God in your Heart!

I see so many people pitching so many things from weight loss to making money that it isn’t even funny but I don’t hear many of them talk about God much. They preach that money will change your life or losing all that weight will change your life but in reality only God can change your life because he changes your heart. On the outside, it is only temporary but on the inside is where … Continue reading
