It’s time to give up!
As women we often take on the role of caretaker, cook, primary housekeeper, launder, spiritual guide, money manager and sex goddess. We slip easily from one role to the next with little thought of how this affects us mentally and spiritually. Because of the many roles we engage in from to day to day we…

Do it now, This is not a test.
When something is pressing on you to pray for someone, stop everything and do it. You don’t have to call the person or make a big deal about it but God is asking you to believe with him for someone and what you sow is what you reap. It is written that when two people…

The moon sets in the west
This morning as I was driving west I saw the biggest, brightest moon 🌚 and as I looked in the rear view mirror I saw a sunrise that was full of yellows and oranges as it slowly entered the plane of human viewing. The contrasts between the two were enlightening. I was reminded of this…

Popcorn
I don’t know about y’all but I love popcorn. I love it plain, with lots of butter, seasoned and hot. I just love the texture and for some reason I can’t eat it without joy. As soon as I smell it cooking I start smiling. It doesn’t matter how I feel when I start eating…

Empty
It’s impossible to give what you don’t have. Sounds like a simple and easily understood concept yet we will try and give what we don’t have to people who don’t need as much as we are willing to give.I often find myself giving of myself to the point of exhaustion. I don’t mean physical exhaustion…

Time
Time brings about a change. As I lotioned my arm I looked for a scar that I knew was there; It is old and familiar. Time has faded the scar to almost invisible but the events that surrounded the scar is as real and raw as the day I received it. February 11, 1985 I…

It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.”1 Corinthians 13:7 ERVhttps://bible.com/bible/406/1co.13.7.ERV As people who love God and who are called according to his purpose we have to exude the fruits of the spirit.
