Where Are You God?
I had a dream the other night. I do not remember the dream at all; however, when I woke up, I remember thinking “Where are you God?”. Have you ever wondered that? What was it that made you ask that question? Was it your circumstances or the world’s? David wondered that. He was bold enough…
Gift of Joy, a gift from God
Have you read the book of James in the Bible? When I was a teen, I decided to read the Bible cover to cover. I got through Genesis and started Exodus and decided to read the New Testament. Switching Testaments was my downfall. I failed to finish the Old Testament. I decided once to read…
Unexpected Strength
I recently purchased a few bracelets with this phrase on them, “Unexpected Strength”. I also purchased me a t-shirt with it embroidered on it. When it came in yesterday, I was excited about it.

Not just food, I can handle a beautiful platter of roasted vegetables, or grilled fish; however, that is not what is projected…
Giving Up
Ever had the overwhelming desire to just give up? I have those moments all the time, more than I care to admit. But why? I grew up hearing a lot of negative things. So, after hearing it so much I began to believe it. So, my “tape” played the negative whenever I thought I could…
My Plans
I recently had hip surgery. The week before Thanksgiving to be exact. In May, I invited my daughter’s sorority sister to join us for Thanksgiving. I have looked forward to cooking for her for months. I don’t always get to fix a large meal, there’s usually just two of us unless my daughter is home.…
