How Devoted to Your Devotionals are You?
Between you and me, I am honestly not that skilled when it comes to reading any of my faith based devotionals every day. For the last few years, I have purchased an annual devotional book by Joyce Meyer. This year’s book is “Trusting God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotions” My practice is if I fall behind in my readings by a few days; I make it my business in one sitting to read and meditate on as many as I can grasp (with understanding) till the next time. I do the same with those I have subscribed to through YouVersion’s Bible App. I know that it is not ideal…

Mama, Please Get Your Baby…
It seems that it is now a continuing romance between us and the Mockingbirds that live in the tree that resides on our front yard. The other evening as the Coach and I were returning home from a long day of activities, we were confronted by the sound of rustling in our outside garbage can. My brave husband took a look inside and saw that a bird had flown or fallen in since we had left it uncovered. I followed up his analysis with my own and learned that it was a baby bird that resembled “Cranky Bird” the Mockingbird that likes to sit itself on the roof and look…

“Right Heart. Right Attitude.” By Joyce Meyer is jacking me UP (in a good way)!
“Right Heart. Right Attitude.”; by Joyce Meyer is the book I am currently reading or should I say is reading me. I was introduced to the book after watching a series of episodes on the subject of “Attitudes” on Joyce Meyer’s “Enjoying Everyday Life” broadcast. Auntie Joyce’s (what I affectionately call her) program is one of the word-based ones I record on my DVR. I watch it and others during my devotional time. When I first watched the episodes, it was shortly after moving to Texas to live with my husband, Oji. We had lived nearly 9 months separately after getting married! We were/are in that delicate yet beautiful…

How many times have you asked GOD to USE you in prayer?
Question…”How many times have you asked GOD to USE you in prayer? Yet, when HE actually calls you into service you run from HIS heavenly urging like a draft dodger… CHECK your HEART is it MOTIVES DRIVEN or SPIRIT LED?” Definition: USE (Verb) – Take, hold, or deploy (something) as a means of accomplishing a purpose or achieving a result; employ. The other day the above inquiry was one of my Facebook statuses. It was as much a question to me as it was to my network. After recently relocating to Houston, I was confronted with having to ask myself this exact question on a number of topics: From experiencing…

Man, You Need to Look UP!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV Recently I sat down and had a conversation with one of my dear friends about Men. It was not one of those stereotypical sessions where you have two girlfriends talking about guys and dogging them out. Trust me it was far from that scenario. We spoke of how important it is for men to see God as their ultimate source for how to love others unconditionally, to forgive and forget, to trust, to be an example of integrity, knowledge, wisdom and…

Spiritual Vomit…Ewww… Clean up needed in aisle you!
Psalm 45: 1 (Amplified) MY HEART overflows with a [a]goodly theme; I address my psalm to a King. My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer. “Spiritual Vomit”!?!? What the heck is that you may be asking…? Does it sound gross to you? It should. The repercussions that come from not purging your soul, can cause you to have unexpected verbal accidents. As I have been taught, man is a tri-part being he is a spirit that possesses a soul/heart (where his thinker, feeler, and chooser reside) and he has and lives in body. When we die in the physical our spirit man is separated from our flesh (our earth…

It’s Okay, God Already Knows
So… you missed the mark. You sinned. You were disobedient to God’s will / His word. Now what? FYI Its okay, God already knows what you did. Will there be consequences? Sure there will be. It’s okay to go to him and talk about it and get the instruction on how to get back on track. God is God, he created you and he has given you a purpose to fulfill. But first you need to get over yourself… (YOU-R-SELF)… relax he is waiting for you; he has made an opening just for you in his busy schedule. Psalm 32 (The Message) A David Psalm 1 Count yourself lucky, how happy you…

His Word has that whip appeal… so whip it [fleshy thinking] on out.
Do you remember the song…”Whip Appeal” by Babyface? Yes, I am dating myself. However, I was thinking about it tonight while I was mediating on my scriptures for the day Joshua 5:2, Romans 2:29 and Colossians 2:11 all in which talk about circumcision first of the body and then the subconscious mind otherwise known as our hearts. If you can follow my train of thinking the Word of God has “Whip Appeal”. Once you begin to really dig your heels into it, it whips everything that does not line up to it right out of you! You begin to desire it more and after awhile don’t mind that it is whipping the fleshy…
