Today I read the prayer of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
and also watched Jentezen Franklin

I just got back from a much deserved 2 week vacation and I am so glad to have a home to come back to!
I have had moments of re-evaluation through out this trip and I must confess that I have come away with more "to dos" than  "have dones" on this trip.  I certainly have a lot of work to do, but the one thing that I know is it's going to take a lot of faith.  More faith than I realized.  And to top it all off, the first sermon that I hear when I come back is on the prayer of Jabez.  Just reading the prayer made me feel unworthy.  I know God wants to bless me, but I feel unworthy to ask him. I know that he will open up doors for me to travel and deliver his word, I just don't know how, and I feel awkward asking him to bless me and enlarger my territory,  I am not looking to be rich and famous, I just want to influence peoples lives through my testimony, and the word of God.  But anyways, I am soliciting all of your prayers as both my husband and I embark on an even more challenging journey in our lives, spiritually and professionally it's going to take all of God's power in us to get the job done!
love you all!

We Must Be Spiritually Woke

I had the honor and privilege to speak at my very first youth conference and believe me when I tell you I have never felt so relevant to young people than I did that day.  It reminded me that just because I am 42, I still had a lot to offer young people and they were eager to listen.   I usually shy away from middle school and teens because they get on my last nerve, and they trigger me in many ways, because of my childhood dealing with sexual abuse and being a teen mom.  I think they remind me of the time I did not have the luxury to be just a kid.  So when I see them doing and making stupid kid decisions, I can't handle it.  Notice I said "kid decisions".  That's what they get to do, and it's perfectly acceptable, but for me, I just cannot deal, call me a hater.  I'm okay with that...lol Speaking to these young adults inspired me more, because they have some adult experiences that I can easily relate and get to them on their level.  H...

Open Doors!

"I know your works.  See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you who have little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name." Rev 3:8 God never forgets the works that we do!  I can remember countless hours of standing on my feet ushering, or many miles traveled to support other ministries. I remember numerous Sundays being in the office completing business. So much labor.  I had to grow not to complain about how much our life was consumed by works...in fact I had made that the main thing and obliviously forgot about my relationship with Jesus.  Thank God for his grace!  Through His patience with me coming through his word, I was able to gain the revelation that I needed to refocus!  But even then He still did not forget about my works.  Because of my diligence and commitment to ministry, he has now allowed me the opportunity to share the gifts that he has given me. It's amazing the doors that have been...

You are Not Alone ...As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.                                                                                                                          Joshua 1:5 Joshua was charged with bringing God's people into the promise land after his predecessor Moses and all the Generation before them had passed. Joshua was with Moses during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, he was with Moses through battles and triumphs, through failures and progress.  However, he wasn't in the position Moses was in as the leader. But now, it was Joshua's turn to lead the people of God, I can't imagine the stress h...
