Fall is my favorite season. It is representative of the transition from the smoldering heat of summer to the cold of winter. Now, I am speaking from an ideal perspective. However, I live in Texas. So, it usually doesn’t happen that way. It is not unusual for Fall to have 90-degree weather but due toContinueContinue reading “Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?”

Make His Name Great
We hear alot about being great. There is a saying,”They won’t let me be great” which has become quite cliche’. Great is defined as being above the norm or average, extraordinary, exceptional, significant. The world has its own view of greatness and it usually correlates with worldly gain, status, or success. However, God’s standard ofContinueContinue reading “Make His Name Great”
Hold On to the Vine
John 15: 1-8 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I haveContinueContinue reading “Hold On to the Vine”
Stronger Than Before
Our oldest son has always been a big guy. When he was born, he was so large that his collarbone was broken during delivery. We couldn’t pick him up under his arms for at least the first 6 months of his life because the bone had to set right in order to heal. So, weContinueContinue reading “Stronger Than Before”
Come Back Home
As a teacher, I would always tell students to consider that the further away from home they go to school, the less trips home they’d get to make. Why? Because of the expenses of airfare and other means of travel associated with a longer distance. Being closer to home, would provide them the luxury toContinueContinue reading “Come Back Home”

Because of the circumstances of my childhood, I used to tell God that I didn’t want to have children unless I could be the mother I needed to be. I refused to bring children into the world and not be capable of doing the right thing as their mother. I would not wish the thingsContinueContinue reading “The Ones Who Have Gone Before You”
Remember When…
Photo by Michael Wysmierski on Pexels.com Yesterday, while I was cleaning, the Lord asked me a question. He asked, “Do you remember when you prayed for where you are now?” That very question caused me to pause and reflect on where I am currently in my life. Immediately, I began to recount the many petitionsContinueContinue reading “Remember When…”
Protect Your Peace
The early part of my life was filled with discord, chaos, and everything opposite of peace. For this reason, I have always been determined to fight for my peace because I knew my sanity and overall well- being depended on it. This became even more important and intentional after I got married. You see. IContinueContinue reading “Protect Your Peace”
Hope
Photo by Lynnelle Richardson on Pexels.com Over the past three years, I have reflected on my decision to leave the classroom often and have no regrets. Honestly, I miss working with the students and my coworkers the most, not the actual job itself. I believe that the seventeen years I was blessed to do itContinueContinue reading “Hope”
