Having Peace in your Life Going through this life, we find ourselves having good days and bad days. It seems like sometimes we find ourselves having more bad days than good.   It can be frustrating because it seems like noting seem to be going the way it should be going. We find ourselves stressed out because nothing seems to be going out way. We try everything we can to try to be happy, but it never seems to work out in our favor.    But the beauty of being a child of God, is the peace that he gives us to be able to bear anything that the enemy seems to throw our way.    Philippians 4:7- “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus.” (KJV)   I love this verse.  This verse means so much to me. When you think about the peace of God! How wonderful it feels to have that kind of peace.  See, when you have the peace of God which passeth all understanding, you find yourself thinking on...

    One thing that frighten me the most when I started blogging and doing social media was the way I came across to other people. I am already a shy person, so when I decided to start sharing a piece of myself a few years back I was scared.   I saw how people would respond to others on their social media platform. Some people were loving, and kind while others were judgmental and negative.    But the one thing that I learned from doing this for so long, was I needed to be myself. It was one thing for me to try to be what others wanted me to be, but I had to learn that I was not being trueful to myself.    See, when I make the choice to share my life, I was trying to be like others that I saw on the internet. And to be honest, I mimic some of the things that I saw others do thinking that I would get the same response that they were receiving from others. I quickly learned that that was not the approach that I needed to take.    Then I had to t...

What does TRUST in God truly mean?                                               As I sat down to write this blog, I found myself at a lost for words. I did not know what to write about, I did not have a topic. I was just lost.   But as I was sitting here, praying asking God to help me, it came to me.       “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)   Trust.  That is the first word in Proverbs 3:5, but what does it truly mean to  trust   something or even someone?    When I look up the word trust on google it says it’s “a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.”  A FIRM BELIEF!!!   Wow! I had to think on that first part of the definition for a minute.  When something is firm, it means it is solid, un...

Back in May of this year, me and my husband took a trip for our 14-year wedding anniversary. We went to Virginia Beach like we do every year for our anniversary.    I remember this trip, because it was at a time in my life where I did not know how I was going to make it. It was hard for me because I felt lost.   This was a chapter in my life where my faith was not strong. I had so much going on and I did not know if I was coming or going. I was just getting over Covid 19 and my relationship with my husband was not the best.    But I knew I was beginning a journey that I have never been on with God, and it was scary. He was telling me what he wanted me to do, and I questioned him every step of the way.    Sure, I was telling everybody through my inspirational videos to have faith and let God show them what to do, but my life was a mess, and I could not give myself whole heartly to God.   One of the things I question the most was why me? Why would y...

Get Connected to God.    As I sit here finishing up my bible study for the night, I cannot help but to reflect on myself.    A few years ago, I would not even pick up my Bible to study it. That is just something that I did not use to do. I called myself a Christian, but you could not tell by the life that I was living.    See, I went to church on a regular basis. I always have ever since I was a little girl. My parents took me, my brother and two sisters to church every Sunday. We did not miss a Sunday. My father was the pastor of the church, so he made sure we were always there when the doors were open. Yes I am a P.K (preachers kid)   So, I knew how to walk, talk, and act like a Christian.    I wanted everybody to look at me and say that they knew I was a Christian, just by the way I carried myself, but I was not doing what I needed to do to show God living in me.    It wasn’t until I went to college my freshmen year, that I wante...

  Know your Worth     As a little girl growing up in North Carolina, I have always had a thought of who I am and who I wanted to be when I grew up.   I knew I wanted to be in the nursing field, and I knew I wanted to go into the military. That was my dream to wear an Air Force or Navy uniform. I knew I would look good in one of those.   But as I got older, I found myself letting others dictate to me how I was going to live my life and who I was going to become. It took me a long time to realize that I needed to change the way I saw myself.      For a long time, I did not know my worth.      The meaning of Knowing Your Worth.  You may be asking yourself,    “What does know my worth means?”     Well, I am glad you ask.    Knowing your worth simply means how you value yourself, or how you see yourself NO MATTER how others may value you.    Often, we let people have a say so in who we are and...
