  • The Struggle is Real Ya’ll!

    The Struggle is Real Ya’ll!

    Since the age of 8 when I picked up my first plastic play guitar in a hospital room, then at the age of 14 getting a real guitar, I began writing songs and haven’t ever stopped.

  • The Words of His Mouth; My Treasure

    [Note: For the sake of distinguishing the Father, God from the Son, Jesus, in this article, the Father, God pronoun will be capitalized and the Son, Jesus, pronoun will be lower case, but in no way meant to diminish His deity.] Like Paul, I count all things, rubbish, compared to knowing Jesus. I am stirred…

  • WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER STEP……

    WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER STEP……

    You may have noticed that many of my posts for the last several months have been focused on what to do in hard times. It’s because this season of my life is filled with many challenges and I can only speak out of my life, right. But I want to do more than that, I…

  • GLITTER- PROOF (When Your Past Chokes the Light Out of Your Future) Part 2

    GLITTER- PROOF (When Your Past Chokes the Light Out of Your Future) Part 2

    This perpetual cycle of lies is one of greatest tactics of our enemy. Why? Because it works so well.

  • GLITTER- PROOF (When Your Past Chokes the Light Out of Your Future)

    As I opened my eyes this morning and slumber left my soul, these words spoke silently to me: “Glitter- proof”. Now, I don’t normally think about glitter or work with glitter nor have I been near anything glittery for years! Except at Christmas time, hanging tinsel or lights. Ah, there was that Christmas decorating project…

  • One of the Most Important Keys for Lasting Relationships

    Relationships are hard work. Ask anyone who’s in one or trying to maintain one. They require everything we’ve got and at times, even what we don’t have. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not into “maintaining” but, instead, “growing” my relationships. I don’t just want to “get by”, I want my relationships to thrive. But how…

  • A Hunger for Jesus

    A Hunger for Jesus

    Don’t mistake my title for some post that’s going to talk about pursuing God and if you’re not hungry for God, “shame on you” or “you’re not a true follower”. This post is not about what you’re doing wrong, it’s about finding true satisfaction in life.

  • Where is Worship in the Midst of Trials?

    Never is the heart and soul of our worship more challenged than when we are in the middle of trials and tribulations. When all hell is breaking loose in our lives and we are surrounded with chaos, the hit to our relationship with God can be significant. But this doesn’t have to be if we…

  • FACING DISAPPOINTMENT. ….When Life Doesn’t Turn Out Like You Planned

    By this time in my life I imagined I’d be making lots of music, touring the world and writing books. But instead, I am lying in bed with who knows what going on in my body, hardly able to function at times because of dizziness that doctors have no answers for. I’ve been stuck with…

  • If I Knew Then What I Know Now (A Lesson in Mothering)

    If I Knew Then What I Know Now (A Lesson in Mothering)

    I have many things to be grateful for and of the lot, is the triumph that I raised three children; a daughter and twin sons. They are now grown with lives of their own, in which they are doing quite well.  From the bounty of their relationships, I also cherish a son in law and grandson!

  • BROKEN…..

    BROKEN…..

    I have heard the term “broken” many times. It’s almost cliché and stripped of its impact due to overuse. But in the personal lives of people who experience it, its impact is still very much alive.
