Beauty for Ashes
“To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3 NKJV Good morning! It’s time for some […]
Worth The Wait
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. -Psalm 27:14 Nobody likes waiting. We can liken waiting to being on a really long flight and having to sit there until you reach your destination. We start off excited but after some time passes, […]
Your Story, God’s Glory
Everybody’s got a story. There’s many of us who are not proud of our story. It’s because there are parts of our story that are painful or make us feel ashamed. There are things that we did or others did that we wish never happened, family secrets or just our secret, but they are a […]
Do I Matter To God?
I don’t use an alarm clock. It’s been about 5 years or so since the last time I used one. I wake up at various times too but God wakes me up when I need to be up everyday. Why I’m late to things, that’s a whole different story and that’s on me, but it’s […]
Where Are The Real Ones?
There’s a song from the ‘60s called “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.” In this song, the lyrics express how the songwriter enjoys and prefers the actual presence of his lady along with the actual interaction with her as opposed to seeing her picture or a written letter or playing back memories. The songwriter wants […]

Spring Cleaning
It’s that time of year again- the time where we get rid of the old, the unnecessary, unused or out-of-date things and make room for the new or just get decluttered. Do you ever feel tired of looking at or going through the same old stuff, and think it’s time for something new or a […]
Worship Workout
It’s hard to worship or relate to God if you don’t know how so here’s a little workout to help you get started out. This can be done anywhere, anytime. You just have to make time to spend the time with him. And just like working out, it gets easier the more you do it […]
The Beginning of Wisdom is Worship
“Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.” Proverbs 1:7 MSG I have a confession: I don’t know everything. Though I do a lot, I don’t know how to do everything. I still need help or guidance within doing all the […]
After Sunday
Resurrection Sunday has come and gone. Easter has passed. What a celebration it was remembering what Jesus did for us! But just because it’s over doesn’t mean it ends there. The work of the cross is done, but now our work has begun. “So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father […]
