I am officially a published Author

I  know it has been a minute, but it appears that God's timing has come to past.  I am so happy to announce that I completed my first book "Against All Odds" and it was published by Covenant Books this past November.  Those of you who know me, know that I have been trying to write this book for years.  I realized that I was allowing fear to keep me from accomplishing what God had called me to do.  Fear is a powerful state of mind and it is amazing how much fear keeps us from changing the world, our communities and our families.

It took some coaching and counseling to get me through the book writing process and a lot of encouragement and discipline.  So many of us set lofty goals or have such big dreams about things we want to accomplish, but how many of us truly count up the cost (i.e sacrifice) of what it will take to make that dream a reality.  You may have to sacrifice time from family.  You will have to say no to things that you want to do, so that you can dedicate time to your goal(s). Moreover,  you will need a lot, I mean a lot of prayer.  It also helps to know that you are doing what God wants you to do, because He will equip you and empower you to accomplish your calling.  One tool that helped me out tremendously was the S.M.A.R.T goals tool.   I will have to add a link to the S.M.A.R.T goals tool for you.  It feels really great to have accomplished this goal  that was given to me by God.  I pray that you all will enjoy the book and let me know how it affected you.

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...
