    Chapter Two | Lord Don’t You Care? | Day Nine

    August 25, 2009 /

    I recently finished reading having a Mary Heart in a Martha World – Finding Intimacy with God in the Busyness of Life by Joanna Weaver.  A book I now highly recommend for all women, young and old to read.  For the next 12 weeks, I plan to share my findings as I journey through the accompanying Bible Study Mrs. Weaver placed at the end of the book. Questions for Going Deeper – Day Nine 1) All of us have felt alone-even great heroes of the faith felt this way.  Read 1 Kings 19:1-18.  How did the “Deadly Ds” of distraction, discouragement, and doubt attack Elijah after the great victory over the prophets…

    I Speak Life

    July 25, 2009 /

    Lord if the tongue is that of a pen of a ready writer…Let it not be me that, is the author, but you who is the author and finisher of my faith that speaks through me. That is my prayer today! Psalm 45:1 The above statement is one of my new daily confessions.  Though I have been saved and a Christian for a number of years.  I am just truly learning the lesson of how important it is to speak life, positively not only about others but also myself.  Too many times, because I have not wanted to put my hopes up too high I have downgraded the awesomeness of God…

    Goodbye

    June 20, 2009 /

    The words seem to not be able to escape from my lips… However, I know they need to be said. Listen, I have to get this out of my head… I know I have the power to stop you with my declarations. I have loved you for so long. However, I love another more… Our destinies seem to have different paths that don’t meet in the end. So as I am sitting here close to being washed away from my own flood of tears. I know I must be the one to find the courage to walk away. Shh…Don’t speak… I really don’t want to hear anything you have to…

    Why the word FEAR is no longer in my vocabulary…

    March 8, 2009 /

    By definition the word Termination means to come to a closing, to bring something to an end. As I look back as another chapter of my life has closed. I smile at the realization that God has prepared a new one for me. I know what I have gone through has only prepared me for what I am about to experience…an explosion of blessings. On January 29th, 2009 I was released from my last place of employment. Most people may have looked at the situation and say to themselves “What am I going to do now? I spent the last two (2) almost three (3) years of my life working…
