Be the Answer

Dear Friend, Have you heard someone say, “That one right there is a problem child...” Or maybe even heard parents describe their own child that may require more attention a problem. If God created us (and He did) then technically no one is a problem! Everyone is called to be a solution. Everyone’s purpose should be a solution to the world that they have been called to. God never calls you His problem child! As believers we are born of light, so just as Christ is, so are we!

Loving Myself is Ok...

Loving Myself is Ok...

Dear Friends, I just want to take the time in this devotional to thank Love (God) for showing me that it is really okay to love myself. Lord, I thank you for showing me that you love me in my imperfections, with my flaws, in my failures thru the good times and through the bad. It’s because of His unfailing love towards me, that I am on a journey to truly loving myself. This loves for myself isn't contingent upon my husband, my children, my family, my ministry, or anything els

Resting in God's Will

Resting in God's Will

Dear Friend, In my morning devotional, bible reading, and prayer time, I was thinking of my job as a supervisor at a government shipyard. I have since retired but the managers all had a belief that resting workers where unproductive or lazy workers. They believed this regardless of the jobs they accomplished, or how soon after performing exhausting work they sat down for a “break”. But this is not what God has shown us in the Bible. Genesis 1:26-27 KJV 26“ And God said, Let u

Wise Friends

Wise Friends

“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Proverbs 13:20 (NLT) Dear Friend, A few weeks ago, I was chatting with some friends when I received what I deemed to be a passive aggressive text message from another friend. Immediately, my attitude changed. I felt stressed, frustrated, and irritated. Over the last few months, I noticed the friendship with this person was changing. I vented my frustration concerning the situation to fellow dev

Will Trust God with That?

Will Trust God with That?

Check out today's devotional by my friend D. Andrews Good Morning Ladies (and few gents), GiG, this past weekend I was leaning on a fencepost of trust. I completed two of three 21 hours of intensive training and I must admit I’m fatigued. So, today’s quote from Gwen drilled down deeply. However, it was the Holy Spirit’s leading to read Exodus 14:14 NLT that caused me to sit up and really take notice. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. See, I’m pretty chill m

I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T

Dear Friend, A while back a song came out I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T (By Webbie) this would become a theme song and national anthem for women everywhere. If you were in any environment, regardless of race or ethnicity, you could see women rise and quote the words of this song everywhere! While this and a few other songs emphasize the ability for a woman to be able to stand on her own, and not need a man for anything, it also minimizes the importance of the family and how important

Submitting to the Right Authority

Submitting to the Right Authority by LaKisha M. Johnson Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. A while back a song came out I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T (By Webbie) this would become a theme song and national anthem for women everywhere. If you were in any environment, regardless of race or ethnicity, you could see women rise and quote the words of this song everywhere!

Press In Prayer

Press In Prayer

Dear Friend, I had a student ask me the question, “Do wishes come true?” He felt like they didn’t because it looked like his circumstances (which was doing chores daily) was not changing. He felt like his life at 8 had some of the most grievous chores assigned to his life ever! In this moment I began to reflect how often I thought I prayed, but it was really wishful thinking and hoping. In this moment like him I’ve felt defeated and frustrated because I put my hope in somethi

There is a Reward...

There is a Reward...

Dear Friends, Do you trust God enough to obey Him, even when you don’t understand what He is requiring of you? Do you find it easier to obey, when you understand why He is asking you do something? If He tells you to leave the job, walk away from the friendship, let your children go, sow those last few dollars, would you? Are you still willing to be obedient when your preference is otherwise? I had been working on promotion paperwork, to which no one, but those in authority kn

Thirsty

Thirsty

“As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?” Psalm 42: 1-2 (NLT) Dear Friend, For years, we’ve heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We know it’s important for us to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. I know these things….but I’m guilty of not doing them. Every morning I rush through my routine and don’t eat breakfast. I throw a small container of yogur
