Building Beauty Out of Ashes
To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” NKJV On December 30th, 2022, I released my book “Building Beauty Out of Ashes.” I wanted to share a little about the book. A few years before I began writing, God kept nudging me to write what I was my inner healing experiences from my journal entries. I had already had my blog site up and running. After a few months of blogging, I…

Let It Go Before It Destroys You
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 KJV If your like me and love to watch all kinds of different movies than hopefully you will understand how I ended up watching this movie. Before I get into the movie and the details of it, I would like to first ask you a question? How hard has it been for you to let go of something that was hurting you so much? Would you say it’s been easy to let go of something that caused you great pain, such as betrayal, divorce,…

Take the Limits Off!
““Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?”” JEREMIAH 32:27 AMP Ever felt limited? As if you can’t do anything right? Everything around you just seems to be going wrong and than you ask the question…..God where are you? I have, and its such a horrible feeling to have. I woke up one morning feeling the three “D’s”. Defeated, Disappointed, and Discouraged. I also felt restrained, as if I had something wrapped around me that wouldn’t really let me move. This feeling of restriction was on me and I couldn’t understand why? One thing I did know, was that I was…

The Heart of Stone
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26 A heart of stone? Me? No way, not me I like everyone. Eventually I found out, that yes me! I had to find out through certain seasons and trials in my life, that I, yes me, was suffering from a horrible heart problem. The problem? A calloused and hardened heart. What did it mean to even have a calloused heart? How was my heart hardened? and what caused it to be hardened? (Biblically speaking of course) The Webster…

The Pile of Laundry
Ever look at the pile of laundry waiting for you to be washed and folded, and you say an inner prayer, Jesus help me? I do…. As I enter the laundry room and look around at the mountains of clothes that are just waiting to be washed, folded, and put away. I ask myself, “How did I get here?” Where did all this clothes come from? Isn’t there only 4 people in this house? As I start to sort the clothes from dark’s to whites, from towels to socks, I start to moan and groan. The more I focused on the amounts of clothes the more overwhelmed I got. It…

The Father to the Fatherless
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows–this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Psalms 68:5 As many of us know Fathers Day came as quickly as it went. To all the Fathers reading this post, Happy Fathers Day and I pray that you were filled with love, honor, and appreciation. As I spent Fathers Day with my own dad and husband, all I can do is be thankful to God for all the men He placed in my life, including my stepdad as well. Once the day winded down I took some time to browse through Facebook and see all the shot outs that were made to all the “Good…
