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 migh...

All Things Have Become New

Many of you have been to this site before but I thank you for coming back and being so supportive of me. The Lord has given me so much to say and I'll be saying more of it in the days ahead. I'm so excited about the direction of this blog so please be patient with me as I refresh and revamp. I hope to always encourage my old friends and many new ones to come. I look forward to growing together as we continue to celebrate being daughters of the King.  I love you all and stay tuned!

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 f...

Death of Expectations

"I doooooo!”   September 8, 2018, was indeed a day of new beginnings.   Christopher and I excitedly stood at the altar, looking each other deeply in the eyes as we said our vows.   We smiled, laughed and whispered things no one else could hear but us. “Christopher, you may now salute your bride!”   My husband beamed with joy as he pulled me into a loving embrace and kissed me.   It was our first intimate kiss, one reserved for the day we became husband and wife.   Until that day, we only hugged and kissed each other on the cheek.   “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my honor to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Christopher DeBose, Sr.” We held hands securely, continued our infectious smiling and proceeded out of our church.   We were now two people headed into our lives as one .    Prior to marrying Christopher, I was single for two decades.   I invested valuable time preparing my heart to become a wife. I did my absolute best to rid mysel...
