Personal development takes an entire lifetime. You are never really finished working on yourself. The important thing is not to get stuck or complacent. Always be striving to become a better version of YOU.
Our response to the testing of faith says a lot about our character as Christians. Even when victory looks impossible, the just are expected to exercise faith. Sometimes, we have to give God the opportunity to come through for us when victory seems impossible. Faith is persistent. It has to…
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14 ESV I will admit it, at one time, I wanted to be her. I wanted her flowing hair. I wanted her physique. I wanted to be as courteous, graceful, and kind…
Responding to mistreatment doesn’t have to be problematic. When mistreated by others, our response should be a biblical one. In retaliation to mistreatment, the immature in Christ may resort to nasty retorts and maybe name calling; but the mature in Christ exercise patience. The response of Christians experiencing mistreatment should…
When God first spoke to my heart and told me to move there and live with them, I had the nerve to look up to Heaven and tell Him NO, didn’t He know how much I hated her?!
Effective decision-making stems from knowing who you are. You cannot make good decisions if you are constantly at war with yourself, or living under the heavy burdens of guilt and shame.

And also, as it turned out, leukemia.
Picture it: a flower without water for a few days. Does it look alive and well? Nope. It is probably starting to shrivel up and die because it has not been hydrated with the life sustaining element called water. In fact, isn’t it a proven fact through science that water…
It was Friday night–the beginning of a weekend women’s church retreat. What could be better? God. Food that I didn’t have to prepare. A beautiful hotel. It was going to be good. And then the first speaker opened her mouth… She had been the praise and worship leader in her…
