Which Row Are You In?
A Boundary is defined as a line that marks a limit. Boundaries are necessary to provide limitations when we are driving to ensure that we don’t collide with another driver when we are driving in traffic. Second, God placed boundaries in the sea so that the ocean doesn’t flood the land and when that occurs it is called a tsunami. Third, boundaries are even more important when we have friendships and relationships. When we enter relationships, we need to make sure we are setting boundaries with individuals by placing them in various rows in our lives because when that does not occur the relationship can hit a literal “tsunami” where…

The New You
I’ve been told that people are in our lives for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime. God is always seeking to evolve us so that we will ultimately be conformed to the image of His son, Jesus Christ. Many of have experienced hurts, pains and disappointments from childhood and these experiences transfer into our adulthood. When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, He cleanses us through the process called sanctification. This is not just a “one shot” deal, it is a lifelong process. God cleanses us as we yield to the Holy Spirit and consistently listen to the Word of God. The more we listen to…

You Are Victorious.
The depth of the spiritual battle we face in our lives is contingent upon your position in God, or while you are in route to accomplishing your purpose in life. The Lord told the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “ (NKJV) And he said, my grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Rest assured that no matter what battle we face in our lives, God promises to always be with us and that we are victorious. In my opinion, most of the situations we…

Live Your Life With Expectancy
When you live your life without expectation, there is no faith. You might ask “what is expectation”? Expectation is believing that something is going to happen in the near future. Faith is simply believing those things that have not manifested yet in your life will come to pass. When you walk in faith, it is what releases the expectation that something great is going to manifest in your life, no matter how things may look now. For example, if you have lost your job or business due to the pandemic, you may wonder “how am I going to make it”? I have bills to pay. The Bible promises us in…

You Are What You Eat
Do you struggle with losing weight? Or, have you been one that never was the ideal weight for your size? Welcome to my world. I’ve heard this statement all of my life “You Are What You Eat”. This statement is true because physical and mental health are closely linked together and when one is eating healthy, you will ultimately look healthy and feel healthy.

However, there are ways we can be proactive and change the way we live by working toward a healthy lifestyle, which will…

You Teach People How To Treat You
Have you ever heard the statement “You Teach People How To Treat You”. This statement has proven to be true. Many times we enter relationships with individuals and fail to set expectations of how we should be treated in the relationship out of fear of not being accepted by the individual or losing the relationship altogether. We compromise our beliefs and in turn allow the individual that we are involved in to take control of the relationship, instead of working as a partnership, more specifically if you are involved in a male and female relationship. The way you believe and respect yourself will determine how others will treat you. For…
