The tail end
Are you tired of being at the end of the line, nervously looking forward, wondering if you’ll ever make it to the front? Perhaps you’ve placed last (again), and after so many bouts of defeat, you’ve resided to the idea that “Everyone can’t be a winner,” not even you. Deuteronomy 28:13 encourages us that, “If […]

Hands off
Whenever you feel as though you’re running out of time, and at the point of giving up, that’s when God steps right on in. Whatever it is that you’re going through, and that you’re trying to do on your own, give it to Him. Not only does He want to help, but wants you to […]

The Settler
Are you a settler? What have you bargained God to give you that is not the best thing, and not the worst either? Maybe you have waited years to own a home, and because you’re still renting and not buying, you’ve decided to settle for a nice apartment, because it’s about as close as you’re […]

Backstage to Centerstage
Do you know what it’s like to do all the work, and you standby watching, as someone else gets all the credit? Maybe you have been hard at work, putting in overtime to be seen and promoted, only to keep being overlooked and overshadowed? It can be extremely frustrating and disappointing to give your all, […]

You promised
I am exhausted! I know I just came off of vacation, so before you judge, I’ve been hitting the ground running hard, ever since I came back. My workload has increased, but I most definitely enjoy the busy work. I’ve been struggling going to bed at a decent time, and very often I’ve managed to […]

Upgrade your plan
From time to time, I’ll receive a text message from my phone service provider, offering me the ability to upgrade my phone plan. I always decline, because there’s nothing appealing or interesting about it, let alone beneficial. Because I’ve been such a loyal customer and always pay on time, I assume they are doing whatever […]

Positioned for the position
Sometimes it’s best not to gripe and complain about our situation, because more times than often, God is using that position to get us ready for the next one. I work in higher education and have done so for the past 13+ years. Loving what I do is a complete understatement, as I’ve never been […]

Change course
When I was working on my Bachelors degree, many years ago, there was one class I made certain to avoid; Research Methods. Whenever I’d meet with my Academic Advisor, she would always stress to me that I needed to take that class right away, because it was one of my most difficult ones, and would […]

Recover
The past year and a half hasn’t been easy on me. I have experienced pain and difficulties like no other, but I can finally say, I’m beginning to recover. I have a new career (beside writing) that I absolutely love and enjoy, and I can tell I’m going to be at it for awhile. Not […]
