Conclusions When You’re BETTER
Because I spent a number of years needing attention, affirmation and acceptance I’m intentional about making sure my motive of doing and saying is not an attempt to secure these things for myself. Living, loving and working in ministry to get your need met is dangerous, defeating and deadly. You can’t do it effectively because…

Feeling Some Kind of Way
I read somewhere “people may not remember what you said or did for them but they will always remember how you made them feel”. I ran into one of my youth in the grocery store and we exchanged hellos, talked for a little while about what’s going on in eachothers lives and reminisced about the…

The Other Woman
I know we generally typecast the other woman as a villian. It’s easy to hate her, to tear her down and discount her impact, influence and investment in the process of life and love. She is, whom ever she may be a contributor to life and love as you now know it and she deserves…

Had
“Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised” (Gen. 21:1 NIV) Had as in not what you had before but as in what God said beforehand. Isn’t it something how God speaks of fruitfulness while we are barren? He talks to us…

Just A Man
Listen in on any womans prayer and it is very likely her petition includes “God give me a man after your own heart” or “make him a man after your heart”. The imagery that accompanies that assertion and assessment is the stuff fantasies are made of. We picture the perfect man who says and does…

Single
After not seeing or spending more than five or ten minutes with my mom in the last two months or so I talked a straight twenty five minutes the other day. When I noticed I told her “I think all this time here alone is…” She chimes in and says “all this time by yourself…

Opposite Attracts
This Thursday choose the greater glory; decide that God for you, working in and through you matters MORE than those things currently against you. MAGNIFY God in thought, speech and action; boast and boldly proclaim “I believe God’s WORD is my manifesting reality. I’m looking, living and loving opposite. All things are working together for…

IOU
“Let love be your only debt…!” (Romans 13:8 CEV) Typically, I owe you (s) are given as promissory notes. I promise to do, give and provide in the future what I am unable to today. It gives the recipient something to look forward to and keeps the giver accountable to the standard of love. I…

Active Faith
“Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith” 1 Thessalonians 3:7 Have you ever seeded into good ground? Spoke a word, shared your faith, stood your ground, stuck with the God plan and stayed with the promise because you believed in God, yourself and others? People…

Abiding in Love
“But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravangantly. And the best of the three is love”. (1 Corinthians 13:13 MSG) Life and love doesn’t always manifest clear. It seems there are intense moments of uncertainty. Times when…
