Mathew 15 21-28 finds a Gentile woman who was looking for Jesus. She was beseeching Jesus to help her with her daughter, who was being tormented by demons. He did not say a word to her, and the disciples were telling Jesus to send her away. They felt like she was bothering Jesus and wanted…

You are not a victim, stop acting like it. So many times we act as though we are held hostage by our careers or our situations when the truth is we have choices. If every morning you dread getting out of bed to go to work, stop 🛑, you need to re-evaluate your job. That…

Married and wondering what is going on? Yeah I’ve been there. During different times in my life I have prayed and begged God to have a closer relationship with Michael (my husband). I can remember days when my husband did not come home, running around in the streets getting high, gambling and sleeping with this…

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways. It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then,…

mar·riage ˈmerij/ noun 1. 1. the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship (historically and in some jurisdictions specifically a union between a man and a woman).

Honesty, purity and sacrifice As you struggle in your marriage I challenge you to remain sexual pure. I don’t mean virginal but I mean you should only give your body to your husband. I know you’re mad or your needs aren’t being met or maybe you are separated physically and emotionally. Whatever the reason you…

“Also, teach the older women to live the way those who serve the Lord should live. They should not go around saying bad things about others or be in the habit of drinking too much. They should teach what is good. By doing this they will teach the younger women to love their husbands and…

Good morning my loves. As open as I can be it’s always a struggle to share something personal and ongoing. Recently I had a mammogram and they called me back for some extra pictures. Well, that has happened before so I did not panic. My husband offered to go with me, I said this is…

You taught me to love you. You taught me passion and purpose and joy and laughter . I smiled You taught me to hate you. You taught me despair, loneliness, loathing and regret. I cried You taught me forgiveness and how to be unforgiving. Yours lips taught my ears to lie, your tongue taught my…

Today my “Do it Scared” attitude let me down. I’ve been in Europe for over a week meandering along winding roads, taking harrowing bus and taxi rides, bravely doing it “Scared”. Today as we docked at the beautiful picturesque Santorini Greece, sitting in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by the Aegean Sea on…

I was laughing with my cousin today about the kids thinking Bishop Knox was God. Adults find it strange when kids confuse the pastor for God but the more I think about it, the more I realize they may have it right. Not saying I think any pastor is God but shouldn’t his actions on…

I don’t have to understand. I don’t have to fix it or figure it out. I don’t have to know your intimate or personal details. I don’t have to put on a fake smile, pretend or lie. I will be here because i can’t imagine any other place to be. Supporting, even when I don’t…
