The Positive Effects of Change, I have a Different Attitude!
I think one of the most powerful things that have had to happen due to my relocation, is the need for me to start over in a number of areas of my life. I actually have no other choice but to if I am to succeed moving forward in any assignment God places in my responsibility to steward. The Lord has given me fresh eyes, and revelation. I am being stretched and have moved away from my comfort zone, New York, home. During this season, God has humbled me on so many levels, and I am still being humbled and pruned. I love this season I am in. Though there…

It’s Me Oh Lord, Standing in Need of Prayer
“Don’t focus on your weaknesses; focus on your God.” – Pastor Joel Osteen Yesterday, I received a report about my health that essentially shook my world. The news even came with pictures! I am still trying to wrap my head around it. In a sense, I honestly can’t because if I do I will open a door for fear to enter in rather than let my faith to grow from within. I think I can actually list what I am experiencing in the natural as the physical manifestation of things I know that have been going on in the spirit. There are dreams and things that I was supposed to…

There’s Joy in Repetition – A Patience Lesson Learned
I should have known better after reading a book on having a “Patient Attitude” I would be confronted with a patience test. I think I got a 65. However, I might have aced it if I remembered the chorus and name of one of my favorite Prince songs from back in the day… “Joy in Repetition…There’s Joy in Repetition.” Not everyone thinks, learns or reacts at the same rate or how you do. Don’t blame the pupil if your teaching methods are not garnering the results you desire. Take a step back, analyze the situation. Find what works for them and be patient and loving; you both will eventually get it……

“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…

3 years, 2 months, and 13 days – This Girl is On Fire
Saturday marked 9 months since I said “I Do” to my husband and almost a month since my relocation to Texas to be with him. 3 years, 2 months, and 13 days since we began our courtship… It feels as if I have known him forever. Actually, it has been more than half my life. The last time I saw him before we re-connected in early 2009; I was a young girl-woman heading out into the world with fire in my eyes. I was ready to change the world. Now I am a married woman. Still with fire in my eyes, yet now with a new purpose… God’s. It’s still…

I fail forward… Never backwards. Every experience has a moral/lesson attached to it.
What is an excuse? My pastor regularly uses this quote “Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.” ~Don Wilder and Bill Rechin I took my driver’s road test today and failed. I could use the excuse that it was raining cats and dogs here in New York. Or the fact that the other student scheduled with me was talkative and nervous and overly excitable. Or that my DMV inspector decided to take a break just as we were preparing for our test. I could actually use any of those excuses however they would not be pointing the finger to who really was at fault …me. Spiritually,…

What a Life Changing Experience… My First Visit to Linda
Hello Ladies! I just had to share this… highly personal experience with you. Before preparing for my wedding, I had never thought of going to get professionally fitted for a bra. I thought I was still the measurements I was when I first went bra shopping as a teenager with my older sister/cousin. I thought when I began to see marking on my shoulders; it just meant I needed to replace my bra, not that it was poorly fitted. Or even with weight gains or losses my bra size had not changed so much. I was so wrong! Last month, I went wedding dress shopping. At the bridal shop, I…
