The Aftermath
I don’t like inclement weather or heavy, disastrous bouts of rain, and right now we are in the middle of one of the worst seasons we’ll ever go through, hurricane season. I live in Alabama, and although we got a lot of rain, we were fortunate to have hurricane Ida bypass us, but for those […]

Hard to believe
Sometimes I struggle with writing posts. The struggle is not that I don’t know what to say, but actually believing what God gives me to say. As strange as it may seem, motivating, encouraging, and inspiring, is so easy and natural to me, but only when I do it for others. God speaks and instructs […]

Before their eyes
Why is it, that when people are down, that’s the time they are kicked the most? The situation itself is painful enough, so adding salt to the wounds is certainly not needed. A lot of times, mockery can be the reason you can’t get up. Every time you try to better yourself and make progress, […]

Painful Profit
Last night, I cried a river longer than the Jordan and Nile combined. Being burdened is a lot to deal with, especially when it seems as though you’re carrying the load by yourself. Although God puts no more on us than we can bare, I can barely stand the little He does place on me. […]

Going the distance
I took some (more) time off and flew to Jamaica, to enjoy the fruits of my labor, reset my mind, and give rest to my body, not to mention to celebrate my sister’s 40th birthday. That experience, was my most peaceful and serene one yet. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave, and even contemplated purposely […]

Until it’s over
It doesn’t matter if you’re a good person, or bad, no one is omitted from difficulty or trials. Some of us will experience tougher situations than others, but nonetheless, we all will go through hardships. The question is, how will you use what you go through, to better you, and help someone else? Will you […]

Not talking for nothing
I was always the concerned one, whether it be about my physical attributes, weight, or someone’s opinion of me. It made no difference how minute it was, because I was sure to make a mountain out of a molehill. The constant attacks, belittlement, and unsolicited comments were unwarranted, and definitely something I could’ve done without. […]

Angry with God
Quite often, I receive text messages, phone calls, and “notes” of thanks, from people stating how my posts have made a difference in their lives, inspired, or motivated them. While I am appreciative of the love and don’t mind the admiration, I also don’t mind sharing that, I’m not responsible for anything written on this […]

In Flight
In 8 days, I’ll be vacationing in Jamaica. I can’t begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to my trip, not to mention the flight. Maybe it’s just me, but I love being up in the air. My favorite seat is next to the window, and if I’m not in it, l […]
