Living a Life of Love

A couple of weeks ago, I spoke at a church in Greensboro, NC. I was a little out of my comfort zone, speaking from the pulpit alongside the minister. The more I focused on my fear, the more nervous I became. I had to ask myself, “Am I willing to participate in the work that God is doing in spite of my fears?.” I pushed my fear aside and stepped forward in obedience knowing that God is always with me. As Christians, we often have […]

I just finished working at the Furniture Market, where thousands of out- of-town guests converge on our lovely city. I was hired as a “helper,” assisting a sales representative with his furniture line in a showroom. In this role, I talk to people, answer questions and place orders. It works out well for me because I love people. I really enjoy helping people. The definition of the word ‘help’ is; to make it easier for (someone) to do something by offering one’s services or resources. […]

Did you know that I am wonderfully and fearfully made? Did you know that you are too? As I write this blog, it happens to be my birthday. In fact, me and my husband share the same birthday week with only two days separating our special days. That means double the fun, double the cake and double the love. We don’t really exchange gifts but we always give each other cards. In the last few years, my husband started making my birthday cards. I love […]

I used to be an avid Texas Hold ‘Em player.

It’s not until all cards are laid out on the table that you know if your “All In” moment was worth it or not. I’ve had other “All In” moments in my life. My […]

  Today, I am singing of the goodness of God. I believe God’s goodness has always been here, I just haven’t noticed it. So, I want to change things up a bit. Because it seems like things are changing, both in me and around me. I feel it. I believe it is the goodness of God that I feel. But not just the goodness, the awareness of that goodness. Check out this song below. (p.s. – if you can’t see the song clip, click on […]

I think God is trying to teach me how to relish the moments of my life. Today, I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God! Psalm 37:4 ESV says, “Delight yourself in the Lord,     and he will give you the desires of your heart.” If I’m being honest, I don’t always  delight in the Lord. Last week, I wrote about A new book and a new beginning  One week later, I’m am overjoyed by the success of this book. But it is the love of God […]
