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 it were a fulfilled divine assignment. IContinue reading “Hope”

Hope
There are seasons of heaviness,There are seasons of grief,Seasons so dark in which there seems no relief. There are seasons of fear,There are seasons of doubt,When we feel like we are smothering, with no way out. There are seasons of plenty,There are seasons with no pull,When we feel like our cups are overflowing past full.Continue reading “Hope”
Trust His Plans
All of my life, I have been a planner and an overachiever. By the time I was in high school, I had at least the 20 years of my life mapped out. I would graduate from high school, attend a 4-year university, go to medical school, and become an Ob/Gyn. Thereafter, I would buy aContinue reading “Trust His Plans”

Tears
My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy. My life has been shaken by grief and strained,My feelings discarded as if they were spare change. I’ve lain my head in sorrow,I’ve lain my head in pain. I’ve felt like I wasContinue reading “Tears”

We sit and reflect over the past year and look introspectively into our lives to see what areas we have experienced success. We also look at areasContinue reading “New Mercies Every Day”
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons we use to defend against the attacks of the enemy. It is one of the most sincere and vulnerable positions that we can enter into to have fellowship with our Father. Yet, when it comes to our prayer lives, many of us view it as another oneContinue reading “The Power of Prayer”
Dealing with Matters of the Heart
Heartbreak is a feeling like no other. No matter how we try to recover from it, it has a way of leaving its mark on us. What was your first heartbreaking experience? Do you feel as if it is still affecting you today? I experienced mine at the tender age of six. The day isContinue reading “Dealing with Matters of the Heart”
Get Your Hope Up!
Happy Monday! Be encouraged today. These are uncertain times. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Our sense of normalcy has become a thing of the past. There is a new norm that evolves each day and challenges us on every level. However, there is one constant. Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is described in HebrewsContinue reading “Get Your Hope Up!”
Be the Light
One of my favorite quotes by Mahatma Gandhi is, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” I love this quote because it causes us to pause and see how we, individually, are contributing to the world in which we live. It is so easy to cast blame upon each other forContinue reading “Be the Light”
