Lift as you climb
As you go up, take someone with you, and don’t leave them to fend for themselves If God gave you the tools and resources to assist, pay it forward and help someone else Sometimes your generosity can determine your altitude, so don’t get too cocky when you notice the incline Instead use your position to […]

Unexpected help
Many months ago, I was pinching pennies, trying to make sense of why I was counting them to begin with. Then it dawned on me, I didn’t have any money! I fell to my knees praying, but I don’t recall if it was from my depleted account or energy. Simply put, I was tired! I […]

I saw it
When God commissioned me to write my latest book, Surviving the wait: How I learned to be still and wait on God, I understood the assignment, I just didn’t know why it was given to me. As I struggled for months to relive what I had been through and am presently facing, I often questioned […]

Until the end
Do you remember when you were little, and you and your friend “pinky swore” or “promised” to be friends until the end? Then, somewhere along the way, either trust was lost or you simply grew a part, causing the “promise” to become broken. I’ve had so many friends in my life (or I should say […]

Knot today

I’ve suffered from depression for years, and although the hardships I’ve faced in recent months were hard on me, I was able to manage. […]

More of this and more of that
You say, “I want more money,” but are you prepared for more problems? You say, “I want to do much more at work,” but are you prepared for more responsibilities? You say “I want to be more successful,” but are you prepared to do more than what it takes to get there? You say, “I […]

Where I’m from, but not who I am
I don’t know where I get my strength from. If I had to attribute it to someone or anything, for that matter, it’d have to be God and my unfortunate life circumstances. I didn’t come from a family of strong men, women, or leaders. I didn’t have sit-downs or talks on how to be a […]

Mayday
In the 1920s, the term Mayday originated and was first used by Frederick Stanley Mackford, a radio officer for London’s Croydon Airport. Its origin is French for M’aidez, which translates to help. In a state of emergency, Mayday was shouted three times, to signal signs of distress, much like other popular phrases such as “SOS”, […]
