Merry Christmas

December is here and in my life, it’s been the month God has shown Himself strong on my behalf. Let me boast on the Lord for a minute: December 2006 - brand new luxury debt free vehicle December 2010 - new house December 2012 - surprise day of beauty sponsored by a group of ladies December 2015 - won a corporate global award at my job December 2017 - the man who’d become my husband let it be known he was pursuing me to marry me While God is not bound by time, the manifestations of His goodness are evidence to never count Him in ANY calendar year. Especially in 2020. I’ve seen comments about people being ready to hurry up and get to 2021.  We still have twenty-four more days for God’s glory to shine! Think about it: you’ve made it this far into a year that has had our heads turning and spinning very which way. That’s praiseworthy alone! Hallelujah! Proverbs 17:22 says “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.” When we’ve had a tough year, it might be

A Love Letter To The Brokenhearted

My Beloved,
            Today seems like the end of your world.  The pain is unbearable.  You don’t have to admit it or say anything.  I can tell by the look on your face and the slowness in your movement that you want to give up and quit.  I know the hurt you’re feeling has sucked the air right out of your lungs and your heart has been broken into many pieces.  This situation has caused you to stand with your toes right on the edge, waiting for the slightest wind to come and send you over.  Sweetheart, I’m here to keep you from going over.
            Before you were born, before you were in your mother’s womb, I knew you.  I created you and I gave you a purpose.  I knew this day, this very moment, would come.  I know how broken you feel right now.  Go ahead and cry.  It’s okay.  Let the cleansing tears flow.  It’s time.  It’s time to stop running and face this head on.  You haven’t talked about the pain because it’s so deep.  I’ve watched you time and time again, disguising the pain with food, material things, masks, and men.  You no longer have to hide anymore.  You no longer have to live this way.  Today is the day you let Me in.  Today is the day I make you whole.
            For a long time, I’ve been waiting for you to come home.  I’ve been here because I am forever faithful.  I never left.  My words are never empty and I keep my promises.  I want to show you who I am and help you discover who you are.  I want to bring you into your purpose.  I am here to heal every scar, every wound and every hurt.  You no longer have to protect yourself because I’ll do that for you.  My arms are wide open.  So please, come and let me show you my insurmountable peace.
            I love you.  My love for you is incomprehensible.  In me, you will find hope.  In me, you will find strength.  In me, you will find love.  I will take on all of your cares, concerns and problems but only if you let me.  I’ll have patience when you make mistakes.  In me you will find freedom.  You won’t have to hide.  There won’t be any more shame and no more sorrow.  My beloved, I will give you rest.

With Eternal Love,
Your Heavenly Father

      I'm glad it blessed you! It blessed me after I read it and I was amazed at God as He was speaking it. It's timeless!

New Dawn

She and I have this nickname game. First started with N.A.M., expanded to 'maneater', warned her prey but they didn't want to believe her, not until it was too late, and the only difference between me and the "Crocodile Hunter" was he got his stuff on tape, melodic voice, sensual smile that drove men wild, to the point that they couldn't contain themselves, an outer shell hiding the secrets of a woman scorned, born not to know, not to show emotion, because once you're open, you're vulnerable... and that's when they can hurt you, that's when they get control, battered and bruised her soul, 3/4's from being whole but the quarter had a hole in it, still tried to spend it, had to get her hustle on, raise 3 children alone, moans turned into cries, cries into weeping, endured for more than one night but the morning light cleared her sight and she saw herself, for the first time, through HIS eyes, and what

To Be Loved

It’s been a little while since I’ve put pen to paper. Over the years, I’ve written mostly about my journey to healing and my victory over relationship failures. Today is no different. Six years ago, unbeknownst to me, God started me on a journey that has absolutely changed my life. “Tam, this is Chris. Chris, this is Tam.”   As we’re standing there being introduced by his sister-in-law, who was also the newly married bride, my mind had already shut down the possibility of anything ever happening with this gentleman. I had been through decades of hurt and my guard was on high alert. We exchanged pleasantries and I returned to my seat with the expectation that I would not see this man again. After all, I was only asked to meet him. As the wedding reception progressed, I was elated at the fact that I would soon make my exit without so much as exchanging phone numbers. I gathered my children and prepared to leave. I looked up and saw Chris coming across the room headed straight for o
