When U Pray

Do you ever stop and think about why God has so many names? I was laying here minding my own business at 4:05 in the morning when the Holy Spirit woke me up to tell me it’s because we have to believe in God for so many things. Jehovah Jirah, my provider, when things are…

Some of the things we do are automatic—no thought, no planning, just muscle memory. Muscle memory: the ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired through frequent repetition. I remember when I had a bowling coach who would have me throw the ball over and over again. “Step up to the line, aim…

As I sit on my porch, watching the happenings on my street, I get to witness the splendor of the Lord. “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV In…

Earlier today I was watching a comedian on TikTok and he was talking about the difference in his children, his son wanted to make it on his own but his daughter, she said unt unt. His daughter said she wanted to be a kept woman, and allow her daddy to take care of her. My…

What do you do when the next steps in life are unclear? How do you move forward when you’ve lost your footing? I’m not talking about life being hard and dramatic—one crisis after another. I’m talking about those seasons when everything seems “normal,” yet you feel lost. When you feel separated from God and can…

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”—Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) Trust, by definition, is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. In the Bible, “trust” literally means a bold, confident, sure security. “It is better to trust in the Lord than…

Well, I’m a week late with a Father’s Day message—almost on purpose. Last week we took time to celebrate and honor our earthly fathers, and I wanted to be intentional about setting aside time to celebrate our Heavenly Father. Our Father in heaven is worthy to be celebrated, worthy to be praised, and worthy to…

What a way to be greeted. It’s a Monday morning that is full of possibilities, let’s enjoy it. No, everything may not be perfect in your life. No, everything may not be perfect on your job. No, everything may not be perfect in your relationship. So what, that is not your business anyway. Our Lord…

Good morning, I pray that this finds you in good health and amazing spirits. I pray that your family is well and your faith is strong. I also pray that you will be open to allow the work the Lord is doing in your life to continue unto its completion. Our God is an amazing…

Co-worker: “While on vacation, I got to hold a sloth!”   Me: “A sloth? That’s a real animal?” I started laughing so hard—I truly thought they were fictional! Needless to say, my employees laughed with me. I told them, “I’m a city girl. I don’t venture into places that have sloths.” We laughed and moved…

Becoming a mother at 17 was not part of *my* plan, but apparently, the Lord had different plans for my life. I still remember the shock of discovering my pregnancy—the fear of telling my then-boyfriend, the anxiety of how I would break the news to my mother and father. What would happen to me? I…

“As one piece of iron sharpens another, so friends keep each other sharp.”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ ‭ERV‬Proverbs 27:17 Has someone asked you to pray for them, and you ended up in the Bible, studying the Word so you could add power to the prayer? Yeah, me too. What I have learned is that we all need prayer.…

“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: ‘Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Don’t you fear God,’ he said, ‘since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done…
