I am a child of the Most High God and one of Jesus’ handmaidens. I am married with 7 beautiful children. My desire is to serve my Savior Jesus Christ with all of my heart and for all of my days. I was a rebellious, angry, lost, and hurt woman destined for hell and separation from God. Jesus had mercy on me, called and saved me. Today I am one of His trophies of grace, consecrated to God to be used for His glory. I have not allowed my past full of drugs, gangs, divorce, tragedy, and prison to destroy me. Instead I share my past experiences with others becoming a living witness to all of God’s mercy and grace.
As I study the Word of God and spend time with our Lord I long to share with others the faith and hope that I am filled with. I will encourage other believers to search the Scriptures daily, become doers of the Word, live in the Freedom that Christ died and rose to give us, and be different for this world. I know no other way than to speak the Word of God in love without sweet talk and flattery. This is real Christian talk for real Christians that long to please God and grow in the knowledge of Christ. May the Lord give me wisdom and courage to fulfill His calling.
My hearts desire this year and my prayer to our Lord was for Him to draw me even closer, to reveal Himself more to me, and to impart His wisdom in me. In fact God’s wisdom is something I have been praying for and seeking ever since I read the story of Solomon in 1 Kings.Read Complete Posting Now
Trusting God The Gardener
I believe that we are part of God’s garden where he loves, nurtures and waters us with His Word and the Holy Spirit. He prunes us of those dead and useless habits and strongholds that hinder our growth and ability to produce good fruit. He plants us where we are currently so that we can beautify our surroundings and bear much fruit, the fruit of the Spirit, for others to see. Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit”. (John 15:16) Read Complete Posting
First Public Confession
I began doing drugs, fighting, having sex, stealing, clubbing, hanging out all night and disappearing for days at a time. I had been arrested a couple of times and did a little time in juvenile detention. Then I was sixteen when my mother died in a tragic car accident. This pushed me over the edge. Now I was full of rage and hurt. The one emotion that I had the most that ate at my heart was regret. I regretted not being able to be the daughter that my mother deserved. I just wanted to know that she loved me. What I shared next surprised me…Read Complete Posting
Garment of Praise For The spirit of Heaviness
Praise is a weapon. God has given us the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Did you know that heaviness is a spirit? (Isaiah 61:3) When you praise God those bad feelings and that heaviness has to leave. You see God inhabits the praise of his people. (Psalm 22:3) Read Complete Posting
Secret To Succesful Christian Living
James 1:25 says, "But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God's law for free men, he will not only remember it but he will do what it says, and God will greatly bless him in everything he does." I truly believe that the secret to living a successful Christian life is in reading the Word daily. Read Complete Posting
Prayer Hindrances
do you ever feel like your prayers are not being answered or God can not hear them? What if there is something blocking our prayers from reaching the throne room? What if our prayer line was clogged or contaminated? Is that possible? Yes..there are hindrances that can creep into our lives and clog or block the communication lines with God keeping our prayers from being heard and answered. Prayer hindrances. The bible speaks clearly of these prayer blockers. So what are they? Read Complete Posting
Light Up The Room
You are the world’s light-a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:14-16 While I was shopping this past Christmas I found a beautiful mosaic candle holder. Its red and gold with two gold crosses on the front and on the back. I just had to get a closer look so I took it into my hands. As I held it I heard the Holy Spirit say,
Tithing Has Always Been God's Will
Tithe and offerings did not start when the law was implemented. Tithe and offerings is a principle/commandment that our God must have taught Adam directly. Then Adam taught his sons Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:3-7 tells about what happens when these brothers present their tithes to God. Read Complete Posting
Overflow With Hope In Him
“So I pray for you Gentiles that God who gives you hope will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in Him. I pray that God will help you overflow with hope in Him through the Holy Spirit’s power within you.” Romans 15:13 Up until Wednesday night my heart felt troubled and unsettled over the condition of our nation. To see the evil rebellion against the Judeo-Christian principles and values that this country was founded on and America fearlessly forsaking God brought great concern and turmoil to my spirit. I prayed and fasted, asking God to have mercy on us. It felt like I was in mourning for three days. Read Complete Posting
"Not Now Lord!"
The Lord been tugging at my heart trying to get me to come out of my comfort zone and step out in faith. I know I’m not the only one. Each of us has a calling on our lives. Our purpose is for such a time as this. We are being trained and prepared daily for the service that He has called us to. He is helping us restructure, restore, and renew all areas of our lives making us living testimonies bringing glory to Him and the name of Jesus. Read Complete Posting
Wisdom & Discipline Go Hand in Hand
What I have discovered is that if we want to receive wisdom, grow in knowledge and understanding then we must have a willingness to be taught, receive wise counsel, criticism, correction, and sometimes even rebuke. If this is a problem for us then we need to truly seek God’s help because we are in danger of heading down the wrong path. Let me show you what the Proverbs says about this subject and may the Holy Spirit give you eyes to see and ears to hear how important it is that we truly grasp the importance of these principles.Read Complete Posting
I AM
“I AM..Always with you” “I AM..Never going to leave you nor forsake you” “I AM..Your strength and comfort” “I AM..Your deliver” “I AM..Your provider” “I AM Your defender and vindicator” “I AM Your healer” “I AM all that you need!” Read Complete Posting
It'll Be Ok!!
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 It’ll be ok I promise. Sometimes we allow ourselves to get so caught up in trying to figure things out; contemplating all the what ifs, that we lose our peace and joy. We begin to meditate on the dilemma so much that we have forgotten to take it to our Lord in prayer. If we get into trying to fix our problems on our own in our own strength we most certainly will complicate things even further. We have to learn to instinctively run to the throne room full of humility and a willingness to listen and obey. Then we can make our supplications known to God, lay down our will at His feet and accept His Wisdom thankfully. Then His peace will most certainly guard our minds and hearts from worry, fear, and anxiety as we meditate and trust in His Word, Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)Read Complete Posting
Taking It One Day At A Time
“So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble” Matthew 6:34 I love this verse. It has taught me that I only have to deal with today’s problems today. I don’t have to worry about tomorrow’s problems now. In fact I don’t have to worry at all and neither do you, because God’s got it. There is nothing that happens in our life that God is not in full control of. What ever situation we are facing, whatever our need we must remember that we are not in it alone. The Almighty One is on our side. So why worry? Why fret? Why fear? He will bring us thru ever time. He never fails! Read Complete Posting
Will The Real Christians Please Pick Up Your Swords
Warning..Not for the sensitive
Do you realize that we are in a battle? There is a war raging constantly for the souls of mankind. Take a look around you. The enemy is working overtime destroying families. Listen to all the tragedy in the news. He has young children disillusioned and trapped in drugs, sex, and gangs. He even has Christians deceived into thinking that it is ok to be on the sidelines or pew warmers. Click here to continue reading
Are You Ready To Fly?
“So be prepared, for you don’t know what day our Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42) Do not ignore the signs of the times. These are crucial days that our Lord warned about in Matthew 24. There is war and rumors of war. Famine and pestilence is every where. Evil men are claiming to be Christ and there are false prophets doing wonderful works and miracles deceiving many. Even some of those who claim to know our Lord and His Word believe the works of these lying spirits.Read Complete Posting

Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Do You Have Faith? Prove it!
Someone may say, “I am a Christian; I am on my way to heaven; I belong to Christ.” But if he doesn’t DO what Christ tells him to he is a liar. But those who DO what Christ tells them to will learn to love God more and more. That is the way to know whether or not you are a Christian. Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as Christ did. (1 John 2:3-4) Read Complete Posting
