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

Weightless

  I felt her pain as if it was fresh, as if the wounds happened just yesterday. The mental confusion and aguish seemed to radiate off each page.   The woman in those pages ached for companionship and longed to be heard, admired and understood.   She allowed herself to be used and tossed aside like a rag doll.   She tried to be a man eater, only to be eaten away by her big heart.   You see, she wasn’t built for that.   She wasn’t built to carry the load of being destructive and abused.   She crumbled under the weight of trying to live up to what the world said a woman had to do in order to feel accepted. For the last several days, I’ve been reading through ten years of journaling.   I started at the end then went back to the beginning.   As I was reading through my life from 2000-2002, I got heavy.   I was suddenly so sad and full of tears for the woman I read about in those pages.   Although she’s no more, I still wanted to weep. There are many women and young girls succumbing to the

From an Aunt With Love

This Blog is dedicated to my niece, Vernecia M., AKA Auntie’s Baby! Recently, my niece encountered a situation where her name was allegedly being dragged through the mud by a former boyfriend.  She responded to the situation out of her anger (flesh) and not out of her spirit (temperance).  So, being that she’s Auntie’s baby, I had to get on her case and school her on some classic rules of Grown Ladyhood. Rule #1 Stop letting your life play out on Facebook .  With the advent of social media, too many people are letting private, sensitive issues play out over Facebook. Some people might disagree with me but discretion is STILL an important character trait, especially for women. Proverbs 11:13 says “A talebearer reveals secrets but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.”   The Message Bible puts it this way “A gadabout gossip can't be trusted with a secret, but someone of integrity won't violate a confidence.”  We must know when to talk and when to be quiet. I can’t

From Our Daddy’s Heart To Yours

My Beloved Daughter,             Oh, how I love you!    For too long, the world has infiltrated your mind with their standard of beauty.   Their standards are always changing but My standards never change.   Measure yourself to me, my daughter, not the world. I bestowed you with a kind of beauty that the world can never achieve.             My grace is sufficient for you and I adorned you with the grace to live out My full plan and potential for your life.   S top being afraid! I beseech you to stop being afraid of your past and of what people might say or think.   My dear daughter stop being afraid of failure!   In Me there is no failure, only victory.             I created you to love! I created you to teach, train, build and conquer. I created you to live and not die.   I created you to prosper and have the very best in life. I did not create you to settle for anything less than My best.   I created you to have more than enough and not to be content with lack or just enough. I cr
