Christian Dating...Be Aware!

I laugh when I hear men say that they are going to church to find a good woman. Then I start to feel sorry for the women that get caught up and deceived by the wolves in sheep's clothing. I start to feel sorry for the men looking for "good women" in church and they end up finding the woman who came to church only to find a good man. Why do men and woman find it necessary to come to church to find their mate knowing that they themselves are not where...

Handling a Promotion

These past few months God has taken me on a faith walk I believe I really needed. Not to say that he is finished teaching me a lesson and showing me things, but I have learned so much as a result of the things he has taken. I felt like the life was sucked out of me and I had to start...

Your Language

Do you use bad language? Do you curse? Don't lie about it because you are not fooling anyone but yourself. Its funny when people wanna limit the amount of time they curse to "I do it when I get angry" or "Yeah, a few here, a few there, but nothing consistent". Well, did you know that there is power in words and how you speak can effect a lot that is going on around you and in your life? My grandmother use to call it "having a filthy mouth". You...

Be the Answer

I am sure you have been in a situation where someone opens up to you and tells you about their problems and the burdens on their heart. You are that listening ear, you are that shoulder to cry one, and in the end, you always say "I will pray for you". Well, thats all good and dandy, and your prayers are appreciated, however have you ever tried being the answer to their prayer. I know many people who always say, "I will pray you find a car to drive,"...

Power in Words

Its no secret that the economy has messed up what we considered the future plans for our lives. We are no longer able to really plan ahead, rather day to day living has been a story shared amongst many Americans. However, the first line of defense in combating such a time as this...

Knuckle Up

When I was in high school and college, I had a couple run-ins with young ladies that ended in an undesirable manner. Hind sight, knowing what I know now, I could have handled it a little better than I did then. I was shock to read in my studies how accurate the Bible was about how to handle situations and what could possible happen if you do not handle them in a proper manner.If you are a talk show watcher, then you would know how people like to...

Demoted

Have you ever been at a football game. You looked at the seat number and went exactly to it. Yet you always see someone who wants to sit closer and goes to the closer seat only to be moved by the people who the seat actually belongs to. You laugh to yourself seeing them being removed,...

Are You Changed?

I take pride in saying that I have changed my life. Life has served me up a few curve balls and it makes me proud to say that I am still here. I do not take credit for my changes and for who I am now, I give all the glory, honor and the praise to God. Once I let Him in my life, and gave Him full control, I become a young woman that my parents can proud of. Many times I hear people saying that they have changed. Changes just don't come in the...

So You Want Some Swag?

If no one knows, aside from blogging, I am an aspiring artist. To me, its not all about the fame and fortune as oppose to the message I am hoping to send out. I want to let the light of Jesus shine through me for all the world to see. Yet, what I found is becoming a christian or...

I Don't Understand

Sometimes, you come to a point in your walk when all you have is questions for God. When the situation you are encountering is far beyond what you can comprehend. Your faith is there, but its just not enough to keep you from wondering "whats really going on"? When we are at this point, what's next. How do we keep the faith when it just seems like God does not hear or see us in distress. The pass couple days I have been asking myself that. I don't...

Seasons

I grew up in Florida. Being from there we was robbed of the opportunity to see different seasons. No fall, winter, spring, then summer. Just hot or cold. After two years in Charlotte, NC I was able to see just how it is for seasons to change and it is just as easy to recognize it. As fall approaches and the leaves begin to change colors, I see that it is time to bring my summer to an end and get ready for my new season ahead. Life is the same way,...

Cancel the Party

I have a particular person in my life that I wouldn't mind sitting back with a bowl of popcorn and watching them endure extreme suffering due their persecutions towards me. I'd probably bask in the essence of their grief and become a bull horn for the news. However, that is one party that will not be thrown. As Christians, we are not allowed to seek revenge nor are we allowed to be happy that someone is experiencing the wrath of God. Our responsibility...

Women In Charge

Sometimes the best person to get a job done is a woman. No matter how much a man feels dominate and powerful, it takes a woman to actually execute and make sure things get done. I have personally been struggling with this issue. I grew up watching my mother take the lead role for most of the first half of my life. My father was in the military (navy) which required him to be gone a lot. I never understood why, I just knew it was his job. Nevertheless,...

That's Non of My Business

I lived in the dorm my freshman year of college. I made it my mission not to get involved in any one's trails and tribulations. I didn't want anything to do with anyone's problems but my own. Yet some kind of way there was always a knock at my door from someone needing this, and someone needing that. Each time I would tell myself, next time I'm turning them away, but it always came to pass, I was right back in a situation where my help was needed....

Blinded By the Situation

I took two day hiatus to get my mind right. I was dealing with a lot last week and was so blinded by my situation, I could not bring myself to write anything. I just was not the best person to say anything because I was feeling down. I was feeling low. It was me who needed the helping hand. It came at a good time. My mother follows this blog and she sent me a email commenting on one of my post and I would like to share it with you.She wrote:DON'T...

Stay Strong

I have a confession to make. Today, life's walls closed in on me and anxiety took over. The very words that I despise slipped off my tongue. "I quit! I give up!" Shelt stood shocked and appalled that I said that. I was once a true fighter and strong enough to take on a lot. It was just one of those days when the devil was tapping on my shoulder whispering, "Curse God and die". Have you ever experienced extreme disappointment and feel like prayer...

Mustard Seed

Have you ever wanted something so bad to happen that you throw your self into prayers. You pray and and you pray and you almost become exhausted trying to get your message to God. All you are hoping is that God hears you and he moves on your behalf. I have been there, I believe I...
