Do you ever have moments when you find yourself reminiscing? This past week, I decided to go on a search for my husband's baptism picture. I didn't know him when he was baptized, but I had seen the photo many times on Facebook and wanted to save it for my kids to see in the … Continue reading The True Meaning of Fellowship.
Human.
We all know "that" person. On social media, their life is perfect. They never have a bad day. Every single moment they breathe on Earth is a blessing and they will make sure you know that. And yet, even with all their perfect pictures, we all know that couldn't possibly be true. Nobody lives their … Continue reading Human.
Examine Yourself
Do your life look more like the works of the flesh or the fruits of the Spirit? Certainly many of us who call ourselves Christians would immediately say "the fruits of the Spirit, of course"...but would that be an accurate answer? Would your friends on Facebook agree with your answer? Or would they see the … Continue reading Examine Yourself
The Elephant, The Donkey, The Lion & The Lamb
American Christianity is tiresome. American Christianity will tell you that if you don't vote for a certain person, watch certain news stations, read certain websites, etc, you couldn't possibly know Jesus. Depending on what "side" you may find yourself on, you were offended reading what I just wrote. The truth is, neither party worships Jesus. … Continue reading The Elephant, The Donkey, The Lion & The Lamb
COVID-19: Calm Yet Wise
When I worked at Amscot, a check cashing place in Florida, we were often told the phrase "trust, but verify".

Many of my anniversary posts are just a recounting of my testimony, and while those are great, this time, I'd … Continue reading 10 Years of Sanctification
Fulfill Your Ministry
One of my favorite Matt Chandler clips is the one where he talks about Mark Driscoll. Chances are, most people nowadays don't know who Mark Driscoll was. If you do, that's awesome. But if you don't, he used to be the pastor of Mars Hill Church. He was also the founder of the Acts 29 … Continue reading Fulfill Your Ministry
What Is Your Witness?
A friend of mine and I were recently talking about work and she told me a story about her former boss that I would never forget. Let's call my friend "Nicole" (to protect her identity). Nicole worked as a secretary at a large firm. Now, Nicole's boss claimed to be a Christian. He went to church … Continue reading What Is Your Witness?

All Things Work Together
This isn't the first time God showed me that He kept me from something for a reason. A couple of years back, I realized something I thought to be perfect wasn't so perfect after all. It was almost as if I could hear Him saying, "See? That's why I didn't let you go down that … Continue reading All Things Work Together
